Thread: Extra virgin olive oil

I have had and all my life due to very sensitive skin. I used Olive oil in place of shave cream for over a year and the and acne improved! After the shave I washed it off "lightly" allowing some to remain. It was one of the most comfortable shave ever, but it sure clogged my drain.

I'm no dermatologist, but it seems that often a cause of acne is stripping the natural oils and beneficial bacteria with surfactants. I wash only with real soap: DR Bronner's peppermint. Most of what we call soap isn't. Acne had improved significantly.

Give the Olive oil a try!

Castile soaps use olive oil instead of tallow or glycerin.
