Love it.
It makes my skin super soft. What I do is every 3 days I use a scrub with olive oil and sugar and just scrub away. Then I just wash it off with water. Since oil and water don't mix the olive oil will still be there so it'll moisturize your face. The other days I just apply olive oil and then I wash with a mild cleanser. Since olive oil breaks down the sebum that your clogs pores then I just wash it off so the residue of the clogged pores won't stay there. Then I just apply a little of olive oil for moisturizer and wipe off the excess with a paper towel. I started using it a week ago.

Oils depend on the skin type
I tried some different types of oils and olive was one of them.
It did not work for me! But doesnt mean it wont work for anyone.
After i had tried coconut and olive oil. I came acroos a website that put the oils into cathegories. I wish i could find it again and link it. Point is, there are two substances oils mainly have X and Y. Cathegories were divided into what had less amount of Y, less for X or equal... and what worked better for what skin type... so coconut oil worked the less for me and had more of Y, Oilve oil didnt work either and had equals mount... so i tried grapeseed oil which had more of X and it worked for me :D so if u have tried 2 of this and nun, try the 3rd.

Cons:
They had oil put in a bottle for me. I tried it every night. 1.Wash face with water. 2. Massage a thin layer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to face. 3. Dab face dry lightly with a washcloth.
... The next morning my face was so toned and soft. I was amazed. I used it every nught and after about three weeks...my skin was healed and I no longer have fear of acne. Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been used as a beauty product for many years in the Mediterranean.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a miracle prosuct that saved me, before acne broke out. I am so happy for my caribg Italian friends, and I love to use the oil for dry skin, and my food. Everyone should know this Mediterranean secret! It works!

Pros:
Absorbs pretty quickly (if you don't use too much)
Very moisturizing
Doesn't cause break outs
Cons:
Easy to use too much
I have been using this as a moisturizer in the morning and night for a few weeks. At first I was using way too much, so my skin actually ended up being drier (probably because my skin stopped producing its own oil). Now I wash my face with a mild cleanser and then apply a little bit of olive oil (maybe 3-4 drops?) to my face while it's wet. I keep rubbing it in until all of the water and oil have been absorbed, which does not take very long. I am sensitive to a lot of skin care products, as most things break me out, and while results vary a lot from person to person, I would encourage you to try out olive oil and see how it goes for you.

Pros:
Inexpensive, no scary chemical, validated by CENTURIES of use, efficient: face wash, eye and skin make-up remover, moisturizer.
Cons:
Can only use EVOO, 1st cold pressed, a little more expensive than the cheap stuff.
Oil attracts oil and pulls out sebum from the skin.
Mix a blend with 10-20% castor oil (oilier skin needs more, you can determine the best blend for you) and 80-90% EVOO ONLY, do not use any other olive oil.
1. Massage into skin (including gently on eyes to remove mascara) for approximately three minutes.
2. Rinse a washcloth with hot (as much as you can stand, not scalding) water and wring out.
3. Lay the washcloth on your face until it cools.
4. Wipe your face (gently), DO NOT SCRUB.
5.Rinse the washcloth out
6. Repeat steps 2-4 2x more.

This is exactly what I'm doing and I'm seeing a difference in two days. The secret is to get a good olive oil. :)

The cure of acne
The fatty acids and vitamins in olive oil is basically the cure of acne. Even if you have oily skin this will work. I know I sounds weird to cure skin that produces to much "oil" with even more oil, but what the skin produces isn't oil, it's talc. So acrually you don't have oily skin, you have "talcy" skin. I know, lol, but seriously, it's true, just google it!
ðŸ'"ðŸ'» So no, it's actually not weird. It's not fighting fire with fire. So after you have read all of this I don't think it takes more than to say, JUST DO IT!

Hello, I can´t find about skin producing talc on google, please post a reference if possible. I thought skin produced a kind of wax.

Where on earth did you get this idea from? The skin does not produce magnesium silicate...unless there is some other talc (short for talcum) that I am unaware of. Perhaps you are getting the words confused? Sebum is not the same as talcum.

Absolutely best cleansing way
I'm a guy with an oily and really sensitive skin type. Since I was 14 years old, I'd been using different soaps for face cleansing and my skin finally got so tight and irritated with that method. Like some months ago, I found on the Internet something called "Oil cleansing method". At first, I was absolutely shocked about putting even more oil on my oily skin; but one day, I tried. I took olive oil bottle from the kitchen (Virgin olive oil) and I spread all over my face. Like 2 minutes later, I remove it with some cotton pads until was clean, soft and completely radiant. Then, I used one of my favourites gel-cream type moisturizer that makes my skin feel great by the next morning. So, from that day, I've been using the oil cleansing method every night before going to sleep and I've never ever had any cain of problem on my face anymore. Incredible how something natural as olive oil has been able to change my life. So amazing!

Did not work for me
My hyperseborrheic skin did not react well to the topical application of olive oil. Did not see any improvement and got a few new pimple. Delicious to eat though!

Not sure of this..
So I have been using olive oil for about 2 months as a moisturizer in day and night, and it has not cleared any of my pimples or prevented them. I make sure to use the organic cold pressed brands, and I pat the excess after moisturizing with a towel. I get a lot of pimples on my cheeks and nose, and I also get a lot of under the skin pimples and ones that have pus(I don't know the exact word). I also have a lot of scars from previous pimples which also did not heal. My pimples tend to stay around in the same place for months and when they go they scar or new ones come. It's just really frustrating, I thought I could help my skin with the olive oil but it has not been working at all, the only positive outcome is that my skin has been feeling very hydrated and isn't oily or dry.

Works well
Pros:
Doesn't clog pores
Makes skin soft
Cons:
Slimy feeling
Didn't get rid of acne but it calmed it down and was a good moisturizer for after face wash
Pros:
I had very oily skin as a young teen being only 14. I was afraid of the acne that would soon breakout. I washed my face with water crazy, until I had dry and oily skin. I went to a camp over the summer where I met 4 Italian kids with great skin. They recomended Extra Virgin Olive Oil for treatment. They used Extra Virgin Olive Oil for everything, and they were so healthy and young looking. They had Extra Virgin Olive Oil with them in their suitcase.
