<pre>Hi Mystery Person,
For any "pro" scientific study you can usually find a "con" study to offset
it.
Your personal results are probably worth more in a case like this. If it worked
for
you, keep using it!
Many people claim that olive oil is very good for the skin. My wife is one
of
them and it seems to work well for her. Extra virgin olive oil does have all
those
anti-oxidants and other good things in it. They heal from the inside out, so
why not
from the outside in? The skin is porous after all. Most skin products, on the
other
hand, are full of alcohols and various other chemicals. It's hard to imagine
that
they can actually be good for you.
Just make sure you use the extra virgin oil because the various heat and
chemical
processes used to make plain olive oil removes most of the good stuff from it.
(I
bet that even the best EVO is still cheaper than commercial skin products.)

<pre>Hi there - I put evoo on my skin every day - especially good after a bath when
the olive oil soaks into your skin.I put it mainly on my face, hands and feet -
but anywhere will benefit!Premature babies used to be coated in olive oil way
back.I only wish I'd known about the benefits of olive oil years ago when I
first started working outside on the farm. Don't coat yourself in olive oil
just prior to going out in the sun. Don't put a rancid old oil on yourself
though, as you'll smell like a fish and chip shop!Only the best evoo!!Yours,

<pre>very interesting, but still I wonder if there is any research done on the
subject, and if anyone can direct me to some reading material. (I do see in
some high end beauty places some olive oil products, and been advertised as
natural products)

<pre>EVOV contains a very special minor component, squalene, which posseses excellent
moisturising properties. Also, ancient Greeks used to take baths in EVOV (it all
used to be virgin in those days!)

<pre>Maggie,
Thanks a bunch for your input. It is very encouraging to hear from someone whom
has also been doing this. I truly appreciate your input. You can bet I will
continue to use EVOO as I have been. I like the results and I must admit, it
feels very good going on the skin ESPECIALLY after a shower

Again, thanks bunches for you input. And I will do my best NOT to go around
smelling like a fish and chips shop. I prefer Obsession for Men.

Peace be with you.
