How does olive oil prevent acne and make my facial hair grow faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may not: Diet has little impact on acne. If it makes your facial hair nicer, I'll be surprised. If your acne flares, manage it with topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid and if you need something more powerful, your physicain can help.
