RE: Using Olive Oil on Oily Skin Post By sj (Guest Post) (01/05/2008) Yes, I think it works very well my whole family uses olive oil on our skin it works wonderful. RE: Using Olive Oil on Oily Skin Post By londa (Guest Post) (12/29/2007) I have used it on my hair as a pre-shampoo conditioner with acceptable results. For pimples see a dermatologist! Insurance companies cover the visit because it is not considered a cosmetic visit. RE: Using Olive Oil on Oily Skin Post By Cathy from Townsville, QLD (Guest Post) (12/19/2007) Speaking from experience, no way! If you put oil on your skin, it will get worse. The best thing to do is wash it with gentle soap or a Clearskin acne-treating product several times a day, use a toner afterwards, and do not wear make-up. If you keep wearing foundation, the problems will keep occurring. Give your skin a chance, and then once it has settled down, go from there. Good luck. I remember how horrible my skin was, so please try my recommendations to benefit from my experiences. RE: Using Olive Oil on Oily Skin Post by redheadrose (2) | (12/17/2007) Contact Hi there! I love Coconut Oil (from health food store) especially for under eye. You dont really want heavy oilson the skin because it aids gravity! Olive oil is fine, as long as its natural. You may want to experiment with other oils like rosehip seed, apricot kernel, borage seed, or even almond oil. Your skin will love one the most. As a redhead with sensitive skin, coconut oil lasts forever, you can cook with it, add it to the tips of your hair to deter split ends and put it all over your body! You might want to try a herbal cosmetic/carrier oil sellars to find different oils. If you add a few drops of carrot seed oil to the blend you have, it can help with wrinkles and prematurely aged skin and even add liquid vitamin e to it. GOOD LUCK!

This mixture can have a powerful anti-microbial effect on blemishes. Honey has anti-bacterial properties, while the vinegar acts as a toning agent on your skin.
