Is Olive Oil Good For The Skin?

I sometimes put Vaseline on dry parts of my skin, elbows and knees mostly. Now that winter is coming up I am thinking about this, because my skin tends to be worse then. I read something about olive oil being good for the skin-- and I thought that it really might be. Vaseline after all is a petroleum product, and olive oil is natural. Is my thinking right here? Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks.

it has been my experience that olive oil is great for the skin, hair, nails and lips. it is a base ingredient in many of my hair care products. here is a link with some further info.

i know that by eating olive oil (and other healthy fats like those from avocado's and fish w/ omega 3s) your skin, hair and nails can look/feel better, but i'm not sure about using it directly.

i don't see why not though-if you don't mind smelling like it! i would avoid using it on your face though-i can see lots of breakouts happening!

breakouts are not caused by applying olive oil to the skins surface. i have used olive oil on my face with no negative results. please see link for more info on formation of pimples, if interested.

I think it depends on your skin. If you already use vaseline and it's working fine for you then olive oil shouldn't be a big step. At any rate simply try it for a couple weeks and see how you like it - you can always go back.

If you suffer from drier skin in the winter several friends have recommended Lush's Sweet Japanese Girl. It has a bunch of oils that moisturize, oils that cleanse (tea tree and juniper berry), and ground almonds and aduki beans that exfoliate. (link provided below - and I think this thread has more links per response than any thread I've seen yet ;-)) It might be great for helping keeping those areas smooth, moisturized and exfoliated.

vaseline is TERRIBLE for your skin. It's a petroleum product. And it keeps moisture from being absorbed by your skin.

Olive oil is alright. I personally prefer almond oil. It's an oil that many massage therapists use- and a much better scent than olive. Because I swim regularly, I always put a moisurizer on, and then spritz an almond oil/essential oil mix into my skin. Skin like silk. BF can't keep his hands off.

grapeseed oil?

Vaseline is a great barrier. If you are in and out of the water a lot (surfing, rafting, etc.) it is a real lifesaver on preventing moisture loss from areas likely to crack, like hands and heels.

As an everyday, getiing-out-of-the-shower moisturizer vegetable oils are probably a lot more effective.

I was reading just this morning about grapeseed oil as a moisturizer. Has anybody tried this? liked/disliked the results?

To the 10:16 poster, vaseline is not terrible for your skin. Maybe for a select few but for most is fabulous. My mom has put vaseline on her face every night for as long as I can remember. I am 38 and she's 64, and I shit you not people think we are sisters, I also have done it for the last 10 years and I still look like I'm at least 25. My grandmother as well does it and she look amazing. I guess it could be good jeans but I have used it for any number of things and it has always proved to be good.

nutrogena has a dry oil product from grapeseed and sesame oil... it is awesome and not greasy like babyoil, etc. i love it.

i have used olive oil directly and it's amazing... works for days! I'll wear it for a couple of hours before bathing and that's fine if you want to avoid the smell or damage to fabrics.

There's an awesome moisturizing body wash called "Rain" by Neutrogena. It smells AMAZING, and leaves your skin nice and smooth.
I've also heard about Almond oil, that might be good to spritz on after the shower.
Wow, a hot shower with Neutrogena rain, sprtiz on some almond oil, get into some great cotton PJ's and a warm bed...what a great winter skin plan! :)

i am 37 and many people react with a lot of surprise when they find out that i am over 30. i can list 5 friends over 40 who look younger than 30. i have hispanic neighbors who use vaseline on their skin and they also look fantastic-not greasy or pimplely. can't we just share our own experiences and not cut-down others? if you don't agree with a suggestion, find another solution that may work for you, but don't deny the success that others have found...

It isn't being mean-spirited to suggest that someone might not be being honest with themselves about how old they look.

If you are 38 you don't look 25. Period.

I think the key is to find what works for your skin.....myself, I have very dry and sensitive skin. Most facial washes and lotions make me break out.....I have found a select group of producta which I can tolerate so I go with that.......

While vaseline may not work for everyone, it does work for some, and it serves no purpose to insult those who use it.

I'm one person who said it was unlikely that someone who was 38 looks 25, but there were other people who said that as well.

I think someone who thinks that is true needs to hear that it probably is not true.

Just because a 16 year old clerk at the gas station cards a 38 year old doesn't mean they look 21.

Just because men realize that women want to hear that they look younger, so they tell them that, doesn't mean it is true.

You can look great for 38. But you can't look 25 at 38.

I am the 38 yr old who uses vaseline. To the person who can't seem to wrap her mind around the fact that there are plenty of people who look way young for their age thats too bad that you've never seen anyone up close and personal. I am not trying to sound full of myself but I know 25 yr olds who look well into their mid 30's, whether it be because of to much makeup, bad skin or genes or sun damage I don't know. What I do know is that some women in my family who have used vaseline for decades look amazing. Maybe its my genes, maybe its because I'm Native American or maybe its even in the way I carry myself or have treated myself over the years. I wish I could post a picture of myself and my mom but I don't have that option and even if I did you would probably think it is a 10 year old pic. You are a mean, judgmental person who doesn't seem to have anything nice to say. You can't judge someone because you've never seen it first hand. All I can think is that you must look much older then your age since you sound so bitter and catty. Maybe being angry that your fat has made you into a bitter jealous person?? To the other women who also know or are one of those young looking women, here's to you. Thanks.

You are speaking to more than one person who said that a 38 year old can't pass for 25.

But nobody said a 38 year old can't have great skin, or look younger. I take great care of my skin and I hope that means I will look great when I am 38.

But you just don't look 25.

The fact that this is bothering you so much could mean you have an unnatural fixation on being younger. There is nothing wrong with being 38.

There is NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING or LOOKING 38.

All of you who are being rude or mean are just being silly. I know plenty of people in there late 30's who look no older then late 20's and still more who are in their 20 who look a lot older. I don't know if it has anything to do with what you use on your skin, I tend to think it depends on race, genes and how you eat and take care of your insides. I have no doubt that if we saw a picture of some of these 37/38 yr olds that we probably would think they were no older then mid to late 20's. Its very possible.

All of you who are being rude or mean are just being silly. I know plenty of people in there late 30's who look no older then late 20's and still more who are in their 20 who look a lot older. I don't know if it has anything to do with what you use on your skin, I tend to think it depends on race, genes and how you eat and take care of your insides. I have no doubt that if we saw a picture of some of these 37/38 yr olds that we probably would think they were no older then mid to late 20's. Its very possible.

Does it really matter whether someone looks their age or not.....we could argue about this forever.......the OP's question had to do with skin care.....people responded with advice and personal experiences which is helpful......the bickering and mean spirited comments do nothing to advance the discussion.

I don't think it is mean spirited to suggest that there is nothing wrong with looking 38.

None of these women who are in their 30's are claiming that it is bad to look their age, they are just saying that whatever products they use work for them because they don't look their age. My husband is a photographer and he's taken 1000's of photos of women who look 20 years younger then their age and some who look way older. But one thing he always says even if their face looks amazingly young you can always tell by the hands. And this is true. I am 40, have been told I look like I'm still in my late 20's maybe 32 at the most by lots of people, women included, face wise I do think I look good for my age, I will never have the body of a 20 something and you can tell from my hands that I am not 30. So really I don't think any of these women were claiming anything other then what they said. Which was they look much younger then they are.

I'm a 25 year old, and I often get mistaken for older. I don't have wrinkles, but I do have a mature look to me, and have been taken as older than my age since I was 12. I think it's safe to say that there are cases (tho very few) where people simply do not look their age. I work with a lawyer who is in her late 30s, and happens to look my age (I assumed she was around 25 when I first met her). People assume that she is a secretary sometimes upon first seeing her, in the same way that some assume I am a lawyer because of the way I carry myself and the very fact that I look older. Although we are not average cases, we are testament to the fact that, yes, SOME people really do look MUCH younger or much older than their age. Point being that, IN RARE CASES, someone in their late 30s can actually look as though they are in their midtwenties. I wouldn't bash this 38 year old woman for saying that she looks 25 because it makes the rest of you seem very jealous. Sorry you can't look like her. I wish that i looked my age, myself.

I'm only 25, but have been ID'd at clubs, and started a new job today, and someone thought I was 21...

However, the woman who said she looks 25 said her 64 year old mother is mistaken for her sister. How many people think a 40 year old has a 25 yo sis? (Can happen, but rare...) My personal opinion, is if her mom is 64, and mistaken for her sister, she can't really look like a real 25. Maybe a 25 that doesn't look after her skin, but I'm sorry, I don't know of a 64 woman that can look like the sis of a 25 yo without surgery.

back to the original question...

My Mom and her sister are 15 years apart, so they would have been 40 and 25. Grandma started young, so it wasn't outlandishly weird. I was once taken for their younger sister, but the person did a doubletake and decided that WAS too much of a spread.

But what I really was interested in was whether vegetable oils (olive, grapeseed) are more effective than petrolatum-based moisturizers. So I have been conducting a left arm/right arm experiment with the Grapeseed Oil and Lubriderm lotion. So far I like the Lubriderm results better.

It's funny because I started using olive oil under my eyes a few weeks ago. the first time I did it, I got a good night's rest, and work up to barely a line under my eyes (I'm sure the rest had a lot to do with it, though). It was great. I have continued using it, but have some further observations. I was unlucky enough to have woken up 2 or 3 times with terrible burning eyes due to my eye tears mixing with some of the olive oil, and let me say, it was one of the most painful experiences ever. It's also better to put on at night since it's a very heavy (by skin care standards) and shiny oil that sits on the skin very obviously. Another thing is that it's obviously not going to tighten your skin at all, if that's what you're looking for. I happen to want a product to help firm up my skin, so olive oil is not the holy grail of that. It supposedly has antioxident properities which fight the free-radicals that damage the skin cells; so, I suppose after a long time you might get lucky and find that it actually repairs your skin. I doubt that, thought. But it seems to work as a really great moisturizer at the very least.

Olive Oil, esp Extra Virgin, has Vitamin E and phenols which account for the antioxidant properties.

I just happened to read all the comments and just to let everyone know.......I am 27 y/o and I have an older sister who is 15 y/older than me. Everyone always tells her she looks like she's in her 20's......its not the olive oil or the vaseline (it might help a little), its all about genetics.....my grandmother is 105y/o (yes, I did type 105), still kicking it strong and looks about 90y/o......my mother is in her late 60's and looks like she's 50!!!!

Which type of olive oil are you using?

I have read alot of you are using olive oil as a treatment of dry skin. And I want to give it a shot too. Among all the different types of olive oil out in the market, which one is the best? Also do you purchase just regular cooking olive oil or medical purpose ones? Thanks.

I googled the use of olive oil on ones' skin and found this. Most of the postings veer off to a silly discussion on whether it's possible for someone to look 25 at age 38. Stick to the subject ladies! I'm so embarrased...and now I'm outta here!

olive oil

Vaseline is a petroleum by-product from oil rigs and is used the for its cosmetic and healing benefits. Vaseline is soothing and helps to soften the skin. It hydrates and repairs damaged skin, provides relief from dry skin, softens lips, heals mild burns, scratches, and abrasions, removes makeup, and offers protection against wind burn and sunburns.

Olive oil is beneficial for the skin and hair. Overly dry skin or sun damaged skin can be soothed with the application of olive oil. Some people apply olive oil to the skin to prevent wrinkles.Olive oil promotes shiny and full-bodied hair and a healthy scalp.Some scientific studies have indicated that olive oil may reduce some of the effects of aging. It helps with digestion and the absorption of nutrients, which tends to slow as people age. It helps to maintain healthy bones and prevents calcium loss. The natural antioxidants in olive oil may even help to maintain mental faculties for a longer period.In spite of the health benefits of olive oil, it should not be overused, because like all other edible oils, it is a high source of calories. One tablespoon of olive oil contains about 120 calories, but because it is so flavorful, a little can go a long way when used as a cooking oil, a salad dressing, or condiment.(I know that you asked only about olive oil to the skin but I thought its also good to know the other benifits of olive oil)

Both are very good for the skin.Since there are some complaints about the olive oil getting into the eyes, Try not to put so much. rub a couple drops in your hand massage your skin with the oil and to seal the benfitis use a bit of vaseline.

If your interested in facial products with olive oil then go to www.DHCcare.com.I got some smaples of thier products but have not tried it yet.
Here are some tips you can do with olive oil that I do:

Before washing your hair, comb through hair, then add olive oil in your hair. Make sure to get everywhere and to massage your scalp with it as well.Blow dry your hair for about 20 to 30 mins.The heat will help open the cuticles of the hair and seal your hair shaft( hair will have less breaks). Wash the olive oil out of your hair well.( i have oily hair so i wash twice) and i put a light condition only on my tips. Try to do this twice a month and see how much stronger and shiny your hair gets.

You can also use olive oil in the bath. Just add a couple drops of olive oil and some banking soda in your bath and relax.Your skin will be super soft.

I also use olive oil when I do my at home mini facial. I have a long process but you don't have to do the whole process. Just do the mask part if your not the type to spend that much time on your skin. I wash my face with my cleanser.I then steam my face for about 20 to 30 mins. I have a mini steam machine, but you can also get that done by pouring boiled water into a bowl , put face over bowl with a towel over head and steam. Half way through the steaming I will exfoiliate (make sure its not something rough) something with mirco bead... and scrub my face in circular motions while i continue to steam.( when you steam, your pores open). After that rinse your face with warm water.pat your skin dry and add antibacterial lotion(if you don' t break out easily then skip this part) Then put a clay mask on your face(if you use a clay powder to make a mask use cold water to mix.. i use my toner instead of water myself), make sure to put on neck as well ( a mask that will pull impurties and firm skin).After it drys, spray your face with either toner,rose water or just plain water anything to make the mask soft again.Then put a couple of drops of extra virgin olive oil in your hands and massage the olive oil to your face.Massage for about 5 mins.Then take 100% cotton ball and remove everything once again in a circular motion.Make sure you take everything off, use a little bit of your cleaner. Then pat dry and con. your skin regime as you normally would.
*if you have dry skin, try to add a serum on your face before applying the mask. then wet mask as I said before and remove with cotton.Then you can add the olive oil and leave for about 20 mins and then rinse off.

I hope this was helpful and works for you. It was to bad I had to read through a whole bunch of junk of ladies going back and forth at each other about weather a women that is 38 can look 25 or is only fooling herself or not. It really doesn't matter. If you take care of your skin... cleanse, nourish,Moisturize, protect(spf) ect.. on a daily basis, it will help keep your skin healthy. Yeah maybe that lady that is 38 does not look 25 but Im sure she look much younger then her age because throughout the years she has been taking care of her skin.So the whole point of this was to find out which is better olive oil or vaseline.I think they are both great and a little bit of both is even better.Just dont' over do it.

After that rinse your face with warm water.pat your skin dry and add antibacterial lotion(if you don' t break out easily then skip this part) Then put a clay mask on your face(if you use a clay powder to make a mask use cold water to mix.. i use my toner instead of water myself), make sure to put on neck as well ( a mask that will pull impurties and firm skin).After it drys, spray your face with either toner,rose water or just plain water anything to make the mask soft again.Then put a couple of drops of extra virgin olive oil in your hands and massage the olive oil to your face.Massage for about 5 mins.Then take 100% cotton ball and remove everything once again in a circular motion.Make sure you take everything off, use a little bit of your cleaner. Then pat dry and con. your skin regime as you normally would.
*if you have dry skin, try to add a serum on your face before applying the mask. then wet mask as I said before and remove with cotton.Then you can add the olive oil and leave for about 20 mins and then rinse off.

I hope this was helpful and works for you. It was to bad I had to read through a whole bunch of junk of ladies going back and forth at each other about weather a women that is 38 can look 25 or is only fooling herself or not. It really doesn't matter. If you take care of your skin... cleanse, nourish,Moisturize, protect(spf) ect.. on a daily basis, it will help keep your skin healthy. Yeah maybe that lady that is 38 does not look 25 but Im sure she look much younger then her age because throughout the years she has been taking care of her skin.So the whole point of this was to find out which is better olive oil or vaseline.I think they are both great and a little bit of both is even better.Just dont' over do it.

olive oil

Vaseline is a petroleum by-product from oil rigs and is used the for its cosmetic and healing benefits. Vaseline is soothing and helps to soften the skin. It hydrates and repairs damaged skin, provides relief from dry skin, softens lips, heals mild burns, scratches, and abrasions, removes makeup, and offers protection against wind burn and sunburns.

Olive oil is beneficial for the skin and hair. Overly dry skin or sun damaged skin can be soothed with the application of olive oil. Some people apply olive oil to the skin to prevent wrinkles.Olive oil promotes shiny and full-bodied hair and a healthy scalp.Some scientific studies have indicated that olive oil may reduce some of the effects of aging. It helps with digestion and the absorption of nutrients, which tends to slow as people age. It helps to maintain healthy bones and prevents calcium loss. The natural antioxidants in olive oil may even help to maintain mental faculties for a longer period.In spite of the health benefits of olive oil, it should not be overused, because like all other edible oils, it is a high source of calories. One tablespoon of olive oil contains about 120 calories, but because it is so flavorful, a little can go a long way when used as a cooking oil, a salad dressing, or condiment.(I know that you asked only about olive oil to the skin but I thought its also good to know the other benifits of olive oil)

Both are very good for the skin.Since there are some complaints about the olive oil getting into the eyes, Try not to put so much. rub a couple drops in your hand massage your skin with the oil and to seal the benfitis use a bit of vaseline.

If your interested in facial products with olive oil then go to www.DHCcare.com.I got some smaples of thier products but have not tried it yet.
Here are some tips you can do with olive oil that I do:

Before washing your hair, comb through hair, then add olive oil in your hair. Make sure to get everywhere and to massage your scalp with it as well.Blow dry your hair for about 20 to 30 mins.The heat will help open the cuticles of the hair and seal your hair shaft( hair will have less breaks). Wash the olive oil out of your hair well.( i have oily hair so i wash twice) and i put a light condition only on my tips. Try to do this twice a month and see how much stronger and shiny your hair gets.

You can also use olive oil in the bath. Just add a couple drops of olive oil and some banking soda in your bath and relax.Your skin will be super soft.

I also use olive oil when I do my at home mini facial. I have a long process but you don't have to do the whole process. Just do the mask part if your not the type to spend that much time on your skin. I wash my face with my cleanser.I then steam my face for about 20 to 30 mins. I have a mini steam machine, but you can also get that done by pouring boiled water into a bowl , put face over bowl with a towel over head and steam. Half way through the steaming I will exfoiliate (make sure its not something rough) something with mirco bead... and scrub my face in circular motions while i continue to steam.( when you steam, your pores open). After that rinse your face with warm water.pat your skin dry and add antibacterial lotion(if you don' t break out easily then skip this part) Then put a clay mask on your face(if you use a clay powder to make a mask use cold water to mix.. i use my toner instead of water myself), make sure to put on neck as well ( a mask that will pull impurties and firm skin).After it drys, spray your face with either toner,rose water or just plain water anything to make the mask soft again.Then put a couple of drops of extra virgin olive oil in your hands and massage the olive oil to your face.Massage for about 5 mins.Then take 100% cotton ball and remove everything once again in a circular motion.Make sure you take everything off, use a little bit of your cleaner.

olive oil in hair

To 3:17.. I don't think you have to use heat in order to get the benifits. The heat helps it penetrate the hair better and faster but it still works without it. I got this from two diff. sources (both older ladies.. over 50).They claim the secret to thier hair staying so healthy and shiny is olive oil. So I tried it and I liked it. So I guess you just have to leave the olive oil a little bit longer then you would if you would use heat.But maybe you can get a deep conditioner made for curly hair. I don't know how it would be for curly hair if you used the olive oil ( let me know). I have wavy hair and I suggested to my sister ( who has curly hair) to try this treatment but she never did, so I don't know if this would be bad for your curls. I use to use a deep conditioner that I got at sephora that was great. I didn't have to apply serum or anything to my hair.It was an anti frizz type of deep conditioner. I guess take a look at sephora and see the diff hair treatment they have for the hair.
About the skin regime. I guess since you have good skin that you don't need a complicated one or anything.If you would like to start ,a basic cleaner, toner and lotion (with spf) would be fine.I dont 'know if you want to start thinking about the delicate skin around your eyes and keeping yrou skin firm and all that. My very good friend doesn't put anything on her skin either and she has perfect skin but I think its very important thought to protect your skin from harsh weather and the sun.
You are right genes to have to do with aging. Both play a role,taking care of your skin and also your genes.

4:08 - I am a person who is extremely sensitive to petroleum and chemical products. I make my own soaps, lotions, etc. Olive oil is much better for the skin than petroleum jelly. Think about it in terms of nutrition and health, as your skin is an organ and will absorb into your body whatever your put on it. Do you want to nourish your body with mineral/chemical products, or something with real nutritional origin? Which would you rather eat?

If you're looking for a good cleanser - try 2 Tbsp ground oatmeal (exfoliant) mixed with 1 tsp honey (humectant) + 1-2 TBSP liquid (whole milk for dry skin, skim milk for normal skin, water for sensitive skin, etc.). Use as a gentle cleansing scrub.

I think there are people out there that look very good for their age, and I see no reason to believe that anyone is lying. I also believe that vaseline is very good for the skih, and I sometimes have to use it when my skin feels excessively dry. It won't clog pores, because the skin does not absorb it. That is why it leaves a greasy look. It does however provide a protective barrier to the skin against the elements, and it also provides a good foundation for makeup. I have skin that is prone to breakouts, but vaseline has never been a culprit.

I will say however, that everyone's skin and chemistry is so different, that there is no one right way to do things. What works for some will not work for others. That is so with everything, even medications. It's all trial and error. If you find something that works for you then stick with it and pass it on to others who might benefit. Our skin changes as we age of coarse, and we might also find that what once worked great suddenly has turned against us!

The people who stated that 40 year olds can't look 25 probably have not met many people of color.....

Those of us who have more melanin in our skin tend to age much more gracefully, as our skin doesn't wrinkle as quickly.... Also, those of us who have protected our skin have also been blessed with less wrinkles as well.

I'm 40, and get carded all of the time. However, most people peg me at about 28-30 years old....

I attribute it to the fact that

1) I work with high school kids and have to learn their language, their culture, their style, their foods, music, clothing, etc.... and that helps keep me youthful in terms of being up-to-date and modern in "culture".

2) I'm of Asian descent and my mom who is close to 70 is often mistaken as being in her 50s and YES, she's been mistaken for my sister before. She doesn't really wear make-up (she only uses lipstick and very occasionally uses make-up when going out for the evening to a special function with my dad.) It proably also helps that my younger brother is 9 years younger, so my parents have had to "keep up" with him over the years....

3) I have tried to use sunscreens and moisturizers when possible and to avoid too much sun exposure. I also try to eat as healthy as possible. At my 20 year high school reunion, I was SHOCKED at the number of my classmates who had aged ungracefully--due to things such as too much alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, sun, etc.... I could have sworn that I had stepped into a room of people at least 10 years older than me in some cases! Healthy living has contributed to my being blessed with looking younger as well....

4) In terms of moisturizers, I have oily skin. Vaseline won't work-- it would be far too greasy for me! I have been afraid to try olive or almond oil because I also have sensitive skin, so I'm afraid it will be too much. Instead, I use the Olay Regenerist line (which, after reading and seeing several different articles, I am happy to hear it's actually the best bang for the buck.) I've also found that if I use a cleanser that strips off too much oils, my skin tends to be way greasier (because it thinks it needs to over-compensate for the lack of oils present.) When I use a cream-based cleanser, the over-active oil glands tend to get better... :-)

I do, however use moisturizers such as "Burt's Bees" hand creams and lotions, (which seem to have more natural products in them) and they seem to be okay on my hands and body. :-)

Ptetrolatum

Petrolatum aka Vaseline is completley natural. It comes from crude oil which comes from the earth. There aren't chemicals added. It's just a heavy lubricant and is a great barrier against the elements. Just because it is used for other things doesn't make it bad. Think of soy. Some of us eat it, drink soy protein shakes and use beauty products with it. Soy has been used to make plastic and tons of other things.

Also, not everything you put on your skin can be absorbed. Many products sit on your skin because their molecules are too large to penetrate your skin.

It doesn't matter what brand of Oilve Oil you put in your hair. The only time to worry about brand is when taste is a concern. Coconut Oil and Safflower have worked better for me at providing sheen and Safflower Oil has no scent like the others.

If you want to keep your skin young, sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Nothing else matters if you do not use sunscreen.

I have talked to women who have said that their mothers use olive oil around their eyes and have had absolutely no wrinkles. I also have heard the same about grape-seed oil and vitamin E oil. I have even asked some beauticians about this because it made me fascinated.

The only thing I derive from this is that it doesn't matter what you use, weather it's an oil full of vitamin E or vitamin E oil itself, or vaseline, or a store-bought moisturizer, if you keep your skin lubricated and protected from the elements, it will look great. But you have to do it on a consistent basis.

I always get complimented on my skin, I CONSTANTLY get asked what I do, what I use, and how I take care of it. Well, here is what I do. I use Neutrogena Anti-wrinkle ant-blemish face-wash twice a day. I moisturize with Oil of Olay regenerist lotion twice a day. I use Neutrogena Retinol treatment once a week.
And I wear mineral make-up with SPF 16 every day. I also eat A LOT of fruit and vegetables.

There you go. I think it takes a lot of factors, not just one oil or lotion. Good Luck!

moisturizer IS good for all skin types, but you may be putting on too much. It's summer now for most of us, and you need a lighter moisturizer in summer. Olive oil twice a day in the summer is likely to be too much. As well, if you are applying make up too soon after the oil, you will likely break out as the make up will blend with the oil that's sinking into your pores- and make up in pores causes break outs.

I used to keep a bottle of olive oil in the shower with me and I would pat it on after my shower while my skin was still wet. Then I would towel off and have moisturized, soft skin but it wasn't greasy. The antioxidants are great for fighting sun damage too. I quit doing this a while ago, I don't know why, because it works well.

If you are getting pimples from using the Olive Oil, stop using it. It is a good moisturizer but it is not for everyone and may be too heavy for your face.

There are moisturizers that are light in thesture with more antioxidants AND contain Spf 15 or greater.

Actually, it IS quite possibly people think she's 25! I'm 37 and I am always carded; I've been asked by authorities, "Shouldn't you be in school?"; I even had a new neighbor point at my husband, who is my age, and ask, "Is that your dad?". So yes, I too look younger than my age. You obviously do not, and I'm sorry for that. But I suggest you don't attack those who do just because you're jealous or ignorant.

Those mean comments sound like they are coming from self-absorbed twenty- somethings who are most likely quite threatened by someone in their thirties who could look younger than they do. I had a neighbor who claimed that she was thirty nine, but considering I would never have believed her to be over twenty four or twenty five I asked to see her driver's license. And folks, let me tell you, I've been in law enforcement for 16 years now and I consider myself pretty good at judging age. There are many women, and men, out there who appear much, much younger than they really are. I wish I could say I was one of them.

My mom is 75 and looks 50. Her sister is 65 and looks about 50 also. I am 50 and am constantly being mistaken for anywhere between 33 and 37. My sister is 40 and looks 25. A few people have thought she was even younger than that. I have to tell you, it's in the genes. All the women in my family have smooth skin -- no wrinkles, no sags, no bags. And no gray hair. Not even my 75 year old mom. Of course her hair has begun to thin on top, but it hasn't turned gray or white. That, plus the fact that we all have really smooth looking hands. Often the hands give you away, even if your face looks much younger. Our hands look just as young. But this isn't necessarily a good thing or a bad thing. It just is. I guess I'd rather feel a lot better and be more physically able to dance, skate, swim, run, bike ride, etc. like when I was really younger than to just look younger but feel older....

I've met alot of women who say they look great for their age, and that people always think they look younger- however, I meet them and either can guess their age, or think they look older. Just like some women don't realise how heavy they've gotten, many women don't how old their skin is starting to look. I don't care about hair color- skin will say it all, as will hands.

I'm the 1:14 am poster. I personally think I look my age, when I look in the mirror. Especially since I've lost weight. I think it made me look older. That's my personal perception. It's other people who keep telling me they think I'm so much younger.

Case in point: a 34 year old co-worker saw the pics on my desk of me with my 32 year old son and grandchildren ages 5, 9 and 11. She thought it was me with husband and children. I told her no, son and grandchildren. She thought I was joking and got 5 more people from the break room to come look at the picture and told them what I said. They all laughed and told her I was pulling her leg because they could tell just by looking at me I wasn't old enough to have a son that looked that old, and definitely not old enough to have any grandchildren. That was them. All them. When my supervisor who knows my family told them I was telling the truth, then pointed to the photo of my hubby and said that's her husband, they all laughed and said my supervisor had a great sense of humor to be able to play along with the joke by passing my father off as my husband. (I definitely won't tell my 54 year old hubby that a bunch of 30-somethings at work think he's my father!)

When my supervisor who knows my family told them I was telling the truth, then pointed to the photo of my hubby and said that's her husband, they all laughed and said my supervisor had a great sense of humor to be able to play along with the joke by passing my father off as my husband. (I definitely won't tell my 54 year old hubby that a bunch of 30-somethings at work think he's my father!)

I'm the 1:14 am poster. I personally think I look my age, when I look in the mirror. Especially since I've lost weight. I think it made me look older. That's my personal perception. It's other people who keep telling me they think I'm so much younger.

Case in point: a 34 year old co-worker saw the pics on my desk of me with my 32 year old son and grandchildren ages 5, 9 and 11. She thought it was me with husband and children. I told her no, son and grandchildren. She thought I was joking and got 5 more people from the break room to come look at the picture and told them what I said. They all laughed and told her I was pulling her leg because they could tell just by looking at me I wasn't old enough to have a son that looked that old, and definitely not old enough to have any grandchildren. That was them. All them. When my supervisor who knows my family told them I was telling the truth, then pointed to the photo of my hubby and said that's her husband, they all laughed and said my supervisor had a great sense of humor to be able to play along with the joke by passing my father off as my husband.

I'm 26 and think I look older then my age most of the time. It is a bummer, but I started using olive oil this past weekend and wow.

My skin is less shiny, pore look smaller, in fact, I only see the pores right beside my nose rather then across half my face. Also my skin is less shiny, weird. I actually went out today without makeup, totally weird for me. If this stuff continues to be a miracle product I'll be so happy... I use it as a cleanser, pat a moderate amount onto the skin and let sit before wiping off with a washcloth and that's it. My skin's clean, my breakout prone skin is cllear, and while I don't have real wrinkles, I've got the beginnings of them and this olive oil really makes them go away, except the line between my eyes. Dances in a circle.

Wow, I am very intrigued by all of this. I am 22 years old and look older than I am because of lots of stress that casued me to cry a lot, especially around my eyes. I am in good health (that I know of) and eat pretty decent and I do not cry as much anymore. But anyway I want my eyes to look firmer and youthful again. I have been doing research on olive oil and been putting the Extra Virgin Olive Oil on my face and eyes. I can not really tell the differences yet. Also I have order the Olive Oil Kit from HSN. I am hoping this will work and even eating more olives themselves. I have tried a lot of stuff but I will see.

Looking great skin, older person

I like what the person back on October 6th said about there being NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING OLDER and LOOKING OLDER. Hell, when I was a kid I wanted to be an adult. Now that I'm an adult I want to look younger. Ironic, how that turned out aint it?

I have to wonder about the lady who's in her late 30s though. She says her mother and her grandmother and she all look as if they are so young. I'm wondering what kinds of people (people: plural, as in more than just one person) she hangs out with who make it a point to tell her she looks mid 20s rather than her real age. As if she's in some kind of freaking commercial or utopia.

I like my age, and my skin; down with what you think about my skin. Personally I would never date or marry or affiliate with a family of neurotic and unhappy females such as that person.

In the meantime, I will try the Extra Virgin Olive Oil on my skin, I have different phases of acne mainly around my neck, arms, and face. Although I'm not very image conscious, there is something to be said about taking pride and some loving in one's own body.

olive oli, vit c and e

i've been doing a research myself about olive oil because i read something on the net which says olive oil is good for stretch marks..massage olive oil or vitamin e oil (serum/gel caps) on your skin after shower...if you need something for your face, i think vitamin c and e serum will help...it tightens your pores, gets rid of blemishes and even scars...and gives you that nice glow...it's good for oily skin too..vit c helps you get rid of excessive oil...now, if you're prone to hair fall, try putting on virgin coconut oil unto your hair 30 mins before shower...it worked for me :)

Before I lost weight people were always assuming I was the same age as all my co-workers who are between 34 and 38. Actually I'm 52. And I was very fat. More than 150 lbs over. Now that I lost a whole lot of weight I look much older than I really am. People assume now that I'm in my 60s. I'm so depressed. In one year I went from looking mid to late 30s, to looking 60s. It's all that extra skin that's wrinkled and hanging now that there's no fat to plump it up. I had a double chin. Now I have a turkey wattle. I had fat upper arms. Now I have droopy swinging skin under my arms. I had a round belly. Now I have a floppy "apron" of skin hanging down to my thighs and wiggling around when I walk.

To the poster claiming the 38-to-25 age misidentification is impossible...

While such a phenomenon certainly couldn't be considered the "norm," looking considerably younger than your age would typically suggest isn't inconceivable. For myself, this has been the case my entire life; being dated ten years younger than my actual age has been the median, and certainly not the furthest from the truth.

Opinion on such a matter without relevant sources or wide-reaching personal experience should be tempered with a degree of reserve in regards to certainty--even more so when commenting on an area as variable as appearance and genetic/environmental mutability.

Vaseline and Olive Oil both are Excellent

Vaseline is excellent for some people's skin.
For me it worked wonders. I had a few lines forming on my face. I used vaseline at night for a month, the lines disappeared.
The person who stated that she is 38 and looks 25, and people think that her Mom and her are sisters, this just means that instead of 64 her mom looks like she is 30. Which is excellent!!!!
I am sorry that vaseline does not work for the person who is making so many attacking comments. Try wearing socks or something that will help absorbed the vaseline into your skin at night.

Since I have not used it for a while and I am much older now, which means that my natural moisture has decreased, I am now using the combination of Olive oil, then Vaseline on top of it at night, with a dry hot towel on top to help absorb everything into my skin.
I plan to do this for a month, and will let everyone know how it works out.

grape seed vs. olive oil

Grape seed oil is super! I think it has less of a smell than olive oil, so I prefer it. Also, it works well, and I think it's cheaper than lotions.

At night, I pour a little bit into my hand, then rub my hands together, then rub into the skin on my legs. I rub it in quite well - there is no shininess left on my legs when I'm done, and they don't feel greasy to my hands, although if I touch them with paper, the paper comes away with a small grease mark.

I do the same for my arms and hands. I find I need about three small handfuls of oil to do arms and legs.

PJs go on top, and I shower in the morning, although a couple of times I haven't taken a shower, and it's been fine. I put oil on once or twice a week in winter, and my skin is happy. Before I switched, I would put lotion on every night, and my skin was still dry and flaky by the next night.

And to add a little 'expert' knowledge to my comments: I've only had a couple of massages in my life, but I'm fascinated by them, so I ask lots of questions. My masseuses have all used grape seed, olive, or other vegetable oil, and they've all said that I should leave it on as long as I can before showering because it's good for my skin.

I've spent some time reading these comments. Most of you know oils are good. My statement will be brief. If you can Eat it, you CAN Wear it!!! Exfoliate with a loofah before applying anything. Oils are not just good for cooking or salads, they're great for massage & moisturizing. Mayo is the very best hand softener, & baking soda in the bath helps lift dead skin cells as well as whitens your teeth, vinegar is a wonderful toner and cleans the entire house!!! Eggs, scrambled well (not cooked) & applied to face a neck tightens pores. If you are using supplements with out "energy enhancers" , try taking them before bed - gives your body about six undisturbed hours to assimilate them getting the most they have to offer.
As for aging, the factors that lead to how you "look" are sun, stress and genes. Think more about treating yourself good & aging gracefully. It doesn't matter how young you look if your eyes lost their sparkle.
I'm 50, if I could post a picture I would - everyone I know, & everyone I meet can't believe I'm "that old".
P.S. You don't have to blow dry your hair to open the shaft, you could use a warm towel to wrap your hair. Heat does help the penetration of oil, and as stated in the previous post - the shine is incredible!!!
Be good to yourselves & each other.

I'm 50, if I could post a picture I would - everyone I know, & everyone I meet can't believe I'm "that old".
P.S. You don't have to blow dry your hair to open the shaft, you could use a warm towel to wrap your hair. Heat does help the penetration of oil, and as stated in the previous post - the shine is incredible!!!
Be good to yourselves & each other.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

For Dry skin you should try extra virgin coconut oil. I have terrible skin problems and for all of the treatments I have tried Coconut oil has been the best, it smells great, and seems to really actually treat the dry skin rather then just temporarily soothe it. Most "natural food" stores carry it. I know Whole foods always has it.

I totally agree. I have been using it for awhile now and my eczema and acne have cleared up my face looks great. Only down part is that if I put it on after my shower I always end up with some in my hair which makes me look dirty...
It is much more stable than liquid fats and lotions. it also helps to speed metabolism when ingested...

Hmm, your 41 and people mistake you for 23? What world do you live in? Maybe 33 but 23? Come on, I would buy 33 but a 23 year old has amazing skin tone and a certain thickness to it that you just can't find on a 40 year old.

Vaseline!

I'm 48 and I've used a dab of Vaseline on my face right after shower off and on for over 20 years. I started doin' it cuz I seen a couple lines around my eyes. I'd asked a woman in her seventies how she kept her skin so smooth and lovely. Vaseline! Well,looking at my mom and younger sister, I don't have good genes.And the last couple years, I take a Vit. E, A and Flaxoil seed . My skin looks better now than in my twenties! Now, if I could only get my butt hoisted where it uses to be! ha!

I guess olive oil can be a little too oily for oily skin-type and the skin may break out after application. For oily skin a light medicated moisturizer will work best. I use Pharmagel's Glyco 8. It works great for me.

Yeah i think...no! I know, Olive Oil is good for you skin my grandma uses it and she hasnt got one wrinkle! and amazingly at the age of 76!!! I know! (black people do age, quite slowly.)
And stop using vasoline. it blocks the pours of the skin and stops important vitamins and entering your skin. As well as that, when you persperate, the old fluids and oxins can not leave your body so easily. I have had experenice with olive oil and i am still using it now. it makes my skin look fresh all day!
I hope this has heloed in some way or another. :)
By the way, i'm only 15 years old. :D

Everyone has different skin, trying different products is the best way to find what is best for you. Some people have very sensitive skin and natural unscented is the way to go but then again just because its all natural does not mean that its good for you, so research. Olive oil is aborbed into your skin but it takes a little time, I find applying it in the shower works well the same if you are using cocoa butter which is really good for pre emptive stretch mark treatment and in the hot/warm water melts some, in the pure form its kinda hard.

Sometimes even the most natural product can cause rashes, acne, and what have you. Some people need to be very careful and others have beautiful glowing skin, lucky ones. There are a lot of natural products though that are better for you though, like for example, a natural by product of soap is glycerine, and on ingredients lists they are listed in order of amount, most large soap companies take it out during processing and then put a small amout or highly processed amount back in. Glycerine is very good for your skin but they make more profit by selling most of it off then putting it in your soap. Home made soap places usually dont remove it. Essential oil is better less harsh for you, and coming from someone whos boyfriend has asthma this is rather nice, still can be bad but much nicer in general.

For example dry skin, most oils, olive, coconut, jojoba, almond, butters, cocoa, shea and not too much hot water exposure especially in winter.

For oily clay, and possibly coal/tar soaps, light exfoliation, SUN LIGHT!!!

Lavender is good for balancing ph balance, so for rochecia (cant spell) oil of calundula for exzema but still may not work for everyone, and if you want firm skin, vitemin e/carrot oil, and yes it stings if you get it in your eye most of this stuff will...not going to try to prove it though :)

My skin is changing so what used to work has changed, I would use no moisturizer in the summer, and lots in the winter, with an olive oil base, but now I have some mild acne and I am using a lavender exfoliator, anyways these are two places that go by the all natural that I have used and very much like. I used to work for the first one. I hope this helps someone just do your research girls! PS I cant wait until I have smile lines and white hair...I am 21...lol

Olive oil for skin

I have been taking olive oil (one tablespoon) a day now for a week and my skin has a nice pink glow that it hasn't had before!

vaseline

Your awfully wrong and not a very good intellect on your behalf. I'm 40 years old and people think Im still 28 when I tell them my age they are astonished. Not only do I take pride in taking care of my body and face. I believe in natural products like vaseline, olive oil. I have done tremendous amount of research and studies on this products. I believe you better hit the books and try getting some good remedies to prevent aging. otherwise when you get to be my age you may just look twice as old as you really are. Oh and a note the women out thier since I was 18 years old I was taught to stay young you start young. Remedies are wonderful especially the natural ones.

looking younger than one's age

Why do some of these I assume jealous women find it hard to believe that there are plenty of women in their late 30's that can pass for 25, especially if you are of African American decent, I being a 47 year old African american women can pass for 35. I've seen some 40 something white women and they tend to age 5xs faster looking like they are hitting 50. There are plenty of women who can pass for much younger than they areand some are white also. It depends on race, genes and how well you take care of your body. U sually people of color tend to look much much younger than their caucasion counterparts. and when I say women of color I mean not just African American, but also Indian, Arab/Middle eastern, Asian, south american, Mexican, just a host of us fine young looking "older beauties" that can easily pass for much much younger than we actually are.

Why do some of these I assume jealous women find it hard to believe that there are plenty of women in their late 30's that can pass for 25, especially if you are of African American decent, I being a 47 year old African american women can pass for 35. I've seen some 40 something white women and they tend to age 5xs faster looking like they are hitting 50. There are plenty of women who can pass for much younger than they areand some are white also. It depends on race, genes and how well you take care of your body. U sually people of color tend to look much much younger than their caucasion counterparts. and when I say women of color I mean not just African American, but also Indian, Arab/Middle eastern, Asian, south american, Mexican, just a host of us fine young looking "older beauties" that can easily pass for much much younger than we actually are.

Oh, I forgot to mention that on being 47 years old, I also have 4 kids, 28, twins 22 and 15 year old, and I still look like I am 35. so for all you "haters" that don't believe, if you were born with the right skin color, genes and body what more can you ask for. Loving life, to the fullest, oh and by the way I get "hit on" by lots of younger men.

Was interested in olive oil and found this site...Now I am not sure if it is good for you or bad..Will try and find out for myself. I do believe vaseline or olive oil work for some and not for others.

Little thought to share. Recently discovered not all sunscreens are effective, especially those top name brands we are brainwashed with advertisement. Pls read Environmental Working Group report. It's shocking to discover my children have not been well protected as I have been led to believe. My face certainly wasn't.

All my life I've been told I looked very young (perhaps due to gene) just using moisturizer and nightcream until recently. Since reaching 50 I have been advised to use sunscreen. Started using it diligently for one year. One day, I looked in the mirror and saw brown spots all over the face. Went to doctor and discovered my expensive sunscreen SPF35 did not protect my skin. Was told in order to block out the sun, it must have zinc oxide. Now I am almost back to normal after using some cream doctor recommended. Couple of weeks ago, went into a liquor store and got carded. Lady claimed she almost always can tell age of a person and I was the first one she couldn't tell. Was shaking her head in disbelief. My point: Re-evaluate your sunscreen before it betrays your trust resulting in devastation. You must protect yourselves from the sun first before it destroys your skin. What is the use of all these "miracle" products if your skin is destroyed by the sun???

I don't mind getting older or looking my age. Just don't want my face to look dirty with spots all over if it can be prevented.

Since olive oil is a natural product without a lot of processing, it is good for you inside and out. I have used it on my scalp. The only problem I had was that I needed to wash it really really well because it was a little too oily for me. But it did help with my split ends.
Looking young has nothing to do with race and a lot to do with genes. It also depends on what you do to yourself, for example, smokers tend to wrinkle and age quicker. We are all individuals and what works for one may not work for another. Experiment to find what works for you. I am another one that people are shocked when they find out how old I am. They even thought my younger sister was older. I am 57 and most people tell me that they thought I was 35 to 45 years old. I take it with a grain of salt because I dont know if they are serious or trying to flatter me and I dont intend for it to go to my head. So what does 57 look like? Me that's what!

To the last two recent posters. Did you guys read the whole thread? Those people back in February were really getting a bit cranky:-) I wonder if they're still here on PT.

Anyway, I haven't read everything in this thread but was wondering why mineral oil wasn't mentioned. Like it's Olive oil or vaseline or nothing. What kind of Olive Oil were they talking about?

There are several other natural oils and other natural products that can be used such as mineral oil and witch hazel. They have been around for generations and are usually much cheaper then the commercially made products that you find in the cosmetics department. Aloe vera is another wonderful product. I had bought some for my childrens sunburn and noticed it sitting there over the winter and thought about its natural healing properties for burns and decided to try it for dry skin. It has a slight sticky feel to it but I was surprised to actually feel my skin absorb it.

Nope I didn't read it all, I just skimmed it, I said that in my post.

I don't have to use much oil at all except for the winter time but I love reading about natural, or as close to, remedies. I also heard that vinegar was good for sunburns. I had never heard of that before. I've never tried aloe vera straight from the plant. It always sort of creeped me out for some reason.

I have only tried alow vera straight from the plant a couple times (after small burns in the kitchen). It was helpful but sticky. I buy it in a bottle for sun burns so that it can be more easily transported and used. Problem is that you have to read the label good as some of them have alcohol (drying) and other additives that are not good for you. You dont need coloring in a body ointment. Look for the pure stuff.

the age issue

seriously, you guys are crazy for making such a big deal out of it and i think its funny im replying in the first place... either way, obviously the "haters" are all a bunch of uneducated hicks, because where i live old people can look young whenever the hell they want to!

its called BOTOX and FACELIFTS!!

now that we have that solved, i have my own personal opinion about olive oil.

Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub

this is how i shave my legs, and they always turn out smooth and soft. simply pour a little EXTRA virgin olive oil in a little cup or bowl, and pour enough sugar in to create a mold-able grainy texture.

when you go to take a bath, soak for a little while to let your skin soften. then scrub it on using circular motions. you may want to get out of the tub and also scrub CELLULITE problem areas, also in circular motions.

shave, rinse, and pat dry.

you can do the same for your face, but not if you are acne prone. for acne prone skin, use baking soda to create a paste and scrub/exfoliate every other day.

no breakouts here

just speaking for myself: i have been using olive oil on my skin for a couple weeks and my skin has actually cleared up. my skin already has a more even tone and it looks fresh all the time, not just when i wake up. and yeah, i have been washing my face less but my blemishes have diminished. this may not be the case for everyone, but it's what i have experienced.
