Olive oil to use on skin- what kind is best?

harryharp

I've read a few times on this forum that extra virgin olive oil is good to apply on skin for conditions such as ecxema, dry skin, itchiness, etc. Can anyone tell me whether it's OK to use olive oil that you buy in the supermarket (such as the Bertolli organic one I use for cooking), or is it best to buy one specifically for putting directly on skin such as the one I've seen here: http://www.akamuti.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=olive+oil
Does it matter? Any advice appreciated, thanks!

Superdrug or savers sell some for massage-less than a pound i think.Best moisturiser i have found to prepare your skin before having a spray tan.

Ordinary supermarket olive oil is fine, i think u can also get organic olive oil in health food shops if you prefer.
