Using olive oil externally

[Pacificfords]

Can you recommend applying olive oil to dry skin?

If you have any experience with this, please share!

I have a skin condition due to my kidney failure that caused horrible rashes, and even blisters on my legs for months. The only thing that stopped it was olive oil mixed with essential oils. I apply it every single day and have for months... and my skin looks amazing - no more issues.

Well, I use olive oil on my face every night before I go to bed and it's a great moisturiser. I don't use in the morning because I don't favour the 'greasy look' during the day LOL

I picked-up olive oil soap for my daughter and its a great moisturizer. But I bought this and love it more than any other moisturizer I've used:

I've been using Dr Bronner's liquid soap on my hair for a year or so now. I'm using the Baby Mild. I don't wash my hair every day. http://www.drbronner.com/DBMS/BAB.htm I was able to find it at Target. On my sweaty parts, I like to use Kirk's bar soap. I've found this sold at Fry's. http://www.kirksnatural.com/barsoap.html I love the smell and lather.

I shampoo with Dr. Bronner's too! I'll squirt a tablespoon or so into a plastic cup, fill the cup with water, dump it over my head, and massage it into my scalp. It brought out curls in my hair that I never knew I had, and I only have to shampoo 2-3x a week now.
