Thread: Do you keep your olive oil in the bathroom..?

when i saw my dermatologist last week (i get chemical peels about every 3-4 months)... i told her what i was doing and she said it was wonderful for the skin and her whole family uses it...(of course why didn't i hear that years ago when i was still buying 'products' from her....)...oh well.... anyway...she said it didn't matter whether it was virgin or x-tra virgin...(as long as it WAS virgin)....so i hope that helps....

Glad that I checked back in here to see if there was any new info!! Great ideas - think I'll squeeze some Vit. E oil into my bathroom olive oil. Mahalo!!

I was told today by a patient on chemotherapy that she uses extra virgin olive oil on her skin and apple cider vinegar. She has lovely skin! __________________ Walmart CC Paid off 12/11/09 BOA CC...

Might cost more but I doubt you will be using a big old bottle of it. Mostly because it will be absorbed into your skin. Might as well keep it healthy. lol The mixture of salt or sugar to oil is a small amount of sugar or sale mixed with...

My grandmother used olive oil on her face as well as her body. Her skin was absolutely flawless and just beautiful. I use it on my body but my facial skin is so oily that it just doesn't soak into my face well. I use it on my feet in the winter time to prevent drying and cracking. I watched an interview several years ago with Shania Twain, she said every morning she had orange juice mixed with olive oil. She swore by it as well.

thanks for letting us know how it turned out. i had heard of this in the past and always wondered if it would work. i thought it would be greasey so never tried it. now that i know of someone who has actually tried it and liked it......it's on......i will be trying it!!! thanks again!

I use a 50/ 50 blend of olive oil and castor oil to "wash" my face with. it's basically called the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM). Wikipedia (Links) Oil_cleansing_method I use it maybe 3x's a week in the shower. Rub in , rub some more, "wash" my hair (I don't use shampoo either, only conditoner to clean with) and then rub some more on the face, and steam out. Really breaks down the icky's in...

My grandmother used olive oil for "beauty" reasons. She wasn't even Italian we're LIthuanian, so I have no idea where she got it from it was back in the early 1980's. She would warm it in a pot on the stove and put it on her hair and tie a bag over it secured with a clothespin. I know the oil was the cheapest kind she would find. I came out of a large metal can and gramma was not one to spend extra money on...

I like to make an olive oil sugar scrub.
