Dry Skin Tip #1 Olive Oil

I have really dry skin on my face, plus it's sensitve and I have rosacea. You can't just cover dry skin with foundation because it gets flaky - so here are my tips for how I combat this problem.

Eventuelly, the oil will just dry your skin more, just like petroleum jelly does.

@KateCful Using olive oil shouldn't dry your skin out at all. It depends on the other cleansers you use with it. Petroleum jelly has chemicals in it, so it's a whole different issue. I suggest Alba's Unpetroleum Jelly as a substitute.

Hi, after wash the face with olive oil, should we use cleanser? Thank you.

@fergusonniall Yeah, use cleanser to remove the oil. Often the oil will still leave a bit of a residue, because it's hard to get off, but that is good for your skin. So normally I'll only use it in the shower or before bed, since it can be a bit messy.

is it good for the scalp as well?

@barak219 Yeah, it can be good for your scalp and even your hair - but it can take a lot of washing to get it out so I don't suggest using it before you need to go somewhere.

@brandy7945 No, olive oil and your body's oil are different. Your body's oil causes your acne and open pores.

I have been using extra virgin olive oil for 2 years now to remove my makeup and my skin is in the best condition it's ever been in . I am so glad to see someone promote oilive oil as a makeup remover it is cheap, easy and really should be talked about more = )
