    Good idea . . . I might try this.

    This might be better in OS though.

    If you use a small amount and it's virgin olive oil, it's fine - plus if you're using it as a moisturising oil, in the shower you end up rinsing it off anyway.

    You can also use it lightly on your face then put your own normal moisturiser on top.

  • Another good natural tip is yoghurt - if u put it on your face for about 2 mins, and then rinse off with water, it acts as a natural face mask and leaves your skin feeling really smooth!
  • Cool, Im gonna try the olive oil thingy, Ill try anything to make skin look better xx

    Honey is also a fantastic face moisturiser - sticky but worth it - plus you know it's not full of chemicals...
