Best place to get deep cleansing oil 
Hello I saw Your Post and I agree very much Olive Oil is the best for skin and hair it is rich in antioxidant I buy my olive oil from DHC the best company for buying olive oil products which is there signiture ingrediant they have Deep Cleansing Oil I love this product it helps to remove impurities deep within your pores and to remove any make-up and dirt, the products have squalane wich is oil from the pit of the olive , and yes Olive Virgin Oil which is 100% Organic and filtered to remove any impurities so it wont clog the pores it is rich in antioxidants to help fight free radicals and creates a barrier on the skin to stop any products on the skin from vapourizing. They Also have the Olive leaf range wich is great for dry sensitive mature sundamage skin... and also their lip cream is made from olive Oil I have used many many many products on my face but DHC is the Winner I reccomend All of You to try or register to get free samples and let the product speak for it self!!!

Hi
I have a few greek girlfiends who have always recommended olive oil as an alternative for those of us with greasy skin - but I have never tried it - I use Clarins products but my face is very greasy and i am constantly powdering-up during the day which leaves my pores clogged ;( I will give it a go - what do you do? just massage in and rinse off? Isn't rinsing difficult?

Oil cleansing
Oil Cleansing surprisingly to most people would sound ridiculous. The reason being, is that we have been brainwashed by media advertising, to think we need so many different products to perform so many different functions.
The truth is that many cultures have been using this method for many many years and is a very effective method for all skin types. The fact is "like attracts like" in most cases in life, therefore, if your skin is oily, an oil will degrease the pores and yet also if you have dry skin, because of the nature of oil, it will not strip the skin, therefore being a balancing way of cleansing ALL skin types.
Most carrier oils can be used, however, people with nut allergy should be particularly aware of using Almond Oil or any nut based oils. The best oils to use are organic which will have had no contact with fertislisers or pesticides and cannot react with sensitive skin or carry any nasties into the blood stream.
The worst thing you can do in all skin types is to strip the skin of it's naturally protective acid mantle. Your body works holistically, therefore treat it with kindness and keep it in balance, by also having a healthy diet and plenty of water to flush the kidneys of toxins.
The oil cleansing method is an excellent method of removing stubborn makeup and deep pore cleansing at the same time. Don't be fooled into buying really expensive magic potions, Mother Nature really does know best!

It also works well on dry hair to give it a little moisture, helps with the frizz!!
Apply to ends of hair, wrap in a warm towel leave as long as possible then rinse out and notice the differene, no frizz and shiney hair!!

Re: "anyone use olive oil as a 'facewash'? "
I have to say WOW! I am a gay male who has been dealing with a nightmare of issues with my skin. I've tried thousands of dollars in products to have my skin look at least somewhat attractive and yet I always end up looking worse and have very painful areas where my breakouts occur.
I always knew that there had to be a product that would at least bring the sebum to the surface in order to get it out and clear up my skin. I happened by chance early on tonight to this site and happened to have a bottle of 100% virgin olive oil that I paid $4 for a couple of weeks ago for a dinner I had made.
After reading this site, I thought, why not?
I rinsed my face in plain warm water until it felt very damp and then put about 5 drops of olive oil between both hands and massaged it in giving myself a mini facial massage for about 5 minutes until it all soaked (absorbed) in. I then dabbed a linen cloth gently all over my face and it matted the oily/glossy look. I watched my face for 30 minutes and noticed sebum coming out of the pores on the tip of my nose and cheeks very slowly. So it seems that it pulls it out as mud does for bee stings.
After about an hour now I can already see a very nice glow to my skin and it does not feel very oily. At first rubbing my palm against my cheek it seemed as if it were oily, but when I looked at my hand there was no excess oil so it appeared that it was just that silky feeling that I've never had. I am truly amazed and am looking forward to what I will be dealing with in a weeks time.
I am sooooo thanksful this site was here tonight!!!
Brightest Blessings to all.

Skin moisturiser

i have to be in the air-condition for very long hours, which is taking toll on my skin, since i am from India, and the outside climate is temperate.
can any one suggest any suitable skin nourisher for me.
thanks in advance.

Try this
Hey there,
My friend is from Sri Lanka and we both work in a windowless office with either air conditioning or heating on 8 hours a day and she swears by Clarins Santal Face treatment oil. She puts it on every morning and her skin always looks fab. She buys it from a internet company called island cosmetics and it is with 2-3 days of ordering.
Hope this works for you too.xx

Olive oil
I have used olive oil on my face on and off for several years. After using a fortune on rather expensive facial cremes, I have found out that my olive oil does a better job for my skin than all these expensive, so-called anti-aging moisturisers. i think it is healthier for my body too. beeing nordic i have a rather sensitive skin, so Im very pleased with the olive oil. Why buy a facial with olive oil when you can use the natural thing...

Use essential oils
What is even better is to blend some essential oils in the vegetable oil you're using. Preferably to a high concentration, it can be up to one third. This is the best beauty treatment you can get. Essential oils contain very small molecules that can penetrate deep into the skin and have numerous benefits for clarifying, moisturising and regenerating your skin. The floral oils, like Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Helichrysum, and Lavender are especially valuable for skin care.

Works for me too
Hello,
Im glad to find out that other ppl using olive oil experience the same as me. I actually wish I had found out about oils for acne skin a long time ago.
This came after long trial and error sessions. My favourite oils for my skin are:
- Olive oil for autumn/winter days
- Jojoba oil for removing make up and for spring/summer days
- Argan oil for night (it's more an oil for mature skin or when your skin starts to show fine line and dehydration)
- Burt's bees serum (vey good but very expensive)
I have completely given up any sort of branded moisturisers and my skin has never look and feel better.
Advantages of oils:
- Can be used to cleanse the skin or remove make up
- Very good to protect the skin from the cold, the wind, really feels like a comfy jumper over the skin
- Seems to rebalance the hydrolipidic layer (in fact I have read that Jojoba oil is very very close to the skin's hydrolipidic layer)
- Argan oil is wonderful for dry skin
- 'Natural', cheap in general (Jojoba and Argan are more expensive) and above all a bottle will last you ages!
- Very good base (believe it or not) as a base for your make up
However from my experience not all oils are alike. For instance, my skin reacts badly to almond and coconut oils and I have broken out everytime I used them or used a product containing them.
How I use my oils:
- The best way I have found to use them is to spray a mist of water all over my face then 'seal' the moisture by applying a few drops (for me 4 drops works wonder)that you spread between your palms and then massage onto the skin. After a few minutes, I pat my skin with the palms and the skin feels perfectly soft and not shiny or greasy at all
- To remove make up: Massage about 6/8 drops of oil and massage onto the skin, then take a cotton pad saturated with warm water and remove make up
I know it sounds weird to put oil on acne skin but in my opinion it's worth a try. The secret is really to put a little
and buy the best quality you can afford.
