Ooooh,

I LOVE OLIVE OIL. I use it for everything, even warm to gargle when my throat's sore!

Thanks to my mom, I have Olive oil, Jojoba, Sweet almond, Avocado, and Shea Butter under my sink.

I remember mummy put saffron in Olive oil once and it helped with my acne when I was younger. I need to find some. Use it at night tho, cuz you'll leave orange on everything you touch.

I've used both virgin and extra virgin. I didn't really notice a diffrence between the 2.

And yes, I loveeeee using it as a makeup remover now. My skin around my eyes has never been so soft!!! It's never too early to start fighting wrinkles lol.

I read that Jennifer Aniston puts almond oil on the ends of her hair to keep it from drying out.

I've been doing the same thing and it's made a big difference.

Well I gave it a try as a hair conditioner, here is what happened. Everywhere I read said you should apply it before you shower and let it sink in some, well I was a little too lazy for that so I just took a tablespoon amount with me into the shower and used it on my ends along with a little of my normal conditioner.

Well Im never doing that again because I rinsed and rinsed my hair until it felt straggly, yet there was still something like an oily film on it. After I shower I have curly hair so I style it with gel, and this was harder than ever as my hair felt super oily and I couldn't really feel what I was doing! Not to mention the lingering smell of salad. And it made my head a little itchy, and my hands, I think maybe I was allergic to it? And after all that trouble my hair did not style well, did not look any shinier or better, in fact the ends looked worse off than ever.

No more olive oil in my hair, I can't really stand that salad smell either!

oh gosh, i wouldnt do that, olive oil is highly greasy, use a clarifier next time the best one i recommend is Neutrogena anti residue, it will gently and completly clean your hair.

EVOO is my holy grail beauty product...I always have it in the house. I use it as a face wash, makeup remover, exfoliator, hot oil treatments, not to mention cooking lol.

I like these tips! Mineral oil is a lot cheaper than olive oil though. I wonder if that would work?
