Can olive oil used as a face moisturizer? can it cause irritation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Olive oil…: …has been used for centuries as a moisturizer. Extra virgin olive oil (the first, unprocessed pressing) is recommended. Processed olive oils may irritate. Olive oil contains vitamin E & other antioxidants that should be beneficial to the skin.
