]]> Comment on Has anyone tried this? by Constance Powers http://www.acne-tips.p2pay.net/2006/10/30/has-anyone-tried-this/#comment-523 Constance Powers Wed, 01 Nov 2006 02:17:20 +0000 http://www.acne-tips.p2pay.net/2006/10/30/has-anyone-tried-this/#comment-523 Can Olive Oil (cold press) be used topically on the skin? But of course! The ancient Greeks used to bathe with oil, using a special scraper to take off the excess. Barring allergies, most vegetable oils are compatible with the skin. To moisturize dry skin, apply it daily directly to dry spots and stretch marks. You're not going to be using that much so use the best olive oil; extra virgin. Pure and Light olive oil has been chemically processed, avoid it. Make a face mask with olive oil and a good quality of clay mud or avocado. Leave for 5-10 minutes, then rinse Where else is olive oil used? Lip balm, shampoo, bath oils, hand lotions, soap, soak for nails, massage oil, dandruff treatment, etc. Soaking fingernails in warm olive oil will soften cuticles and help brittle nails become more resilient. How is olive oil used to make soap? Fats or oils are saponified into soap by the addition of lye. Lye, also known <!--more--> as caustic soda is a common ingredient in household products such as paint strippers, canned fruit cocktail, drain openers (Drano), etc. The lye is neutralized by the process. Olive Oil and lye is mixed with colors, fragrances and moisturizers such as glycerin. Usually a lower grade of olive oil is used, such as pomace oil, for these purposes. Can olive oil be thickened to use on psoriasis or dry skin? You could make an emulsion of water and oil "like mayonnaise" which would thicken and hydrate. Waxes such as beeswax can be added to make more of a liniment or ointment, heat one pint of olive oil with 1 1/2 ounces of beeswax until melted, cool, add more wax if necessary and repeat. Other ingredients used to thicken emollients are agar, a seaweed extract, methyl cellulose or xanthum gums, both plant extracts, and glycerin. They are all edible and used to thicken everything from ice cream to pancake syrup. A reader asks about Eczema: I have suffered from eczema badly on and off since I was 13 years old. I went to a doctor last year and he prescribed a too strong cortisone to use on my face and the skin has been damaged. Apparently it stops the production of collagen and now I have fine wrinkles on the outer side of my eyes and the forehead skin has thinned badly as well. I have recently been trying many oils to try to rejuvenate my skin tissue again but alas seem to have terrible reactions and bad flare ups after using them. but I've been trying the cold pressed olive oil and putting it in my aqueous cream and I'm glad to say that I'm not allergic to it! Would you be able to tell me if maybe I could get some degree of collagen regeneration back to my skin? Dr. Deane Replies: Olive Oil is a mild oil and of course has been used for thousands of year on the skin. We sell organic extra virgin oil to many "natural" and "organic" cosmetic manufacturers. Few people seem to be allergic to olive oil. As for the collagen, I do not know of any substances which can really "rebuild" collagen. As you age the collagen fibers become thinner and less plentiful. Sun exposure and strong steroids can speed up this process. There may be hope in the future. Doctors used to think that cartilage couldn't be rebuilt but glucosamine and chondroitin supplements are now showing promise for that purpose. Perhaps we will find something to counteract the effects of gravity and ageing in the skin. Anthony asks: As a moisturizer is there a particular type of olive oil that should be used? For example: virgin, extra virgin, extra light etc Dr. Deane Replies: You're not going to be using that much so use the best olive oil; extra virgin. Pure and Light olive oil may have been chemically processed. Joan writes: Check out our web page at www.headliceinfo.com. Don't laugh but we teach people how to get rid of head lice using olive oil. Check out our book and video, both called, "Head Lice to Dead Lice" at Amazon.com. There are links at our web site. Michelle asks: Over the past 5 years my scalp has been abused by chemicals (perms), and my nerves has caused baldness. I have been washing my hair regularly and treating my scalp with virgin olive oil. As a result hair is growing in the bald area. Will the use of olive oil clog my pores? By the way I am a 38 year old female who's parents and grandparents have a no history of balding. My dermatologist told me that chemicals and nerves are the cause of my baldness. To date I have stopped using perms and wash my hair regularly, deep conditioning my scalp and use virgin olive oil as a moisturizer for the scalp and hair. Dr. Deane Responds: Olive oil has been used for thousands of years on human skin and does not typically cause clogging of pores. I am glad that your hair is returning and would like to credit the olive oil. I think it may be treating the chemical induced scalp irritation caused by your perms. The most common cause of balding is heredity, which causes the typical male pattern balding in men and a more diffuse thinning of the hair in women. I have never seen any science which suggests that olive oil would help hereditary balding. Hair dye and perm chemicals can also cause balding and a flaking and irritation of the scalp. This type of balding may be partially reversible with a mild emollient like olive oil and discontinuation of the chemicals. Z.P. from South Africa writes: In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, Most Merciful 1400 years ago, the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) advised his followers to apply olive oil to their bodies, and himself use to be seen with a lot of oil on his head. Since many of his advises are tallying with medical science, I would like to know the effect of applying olive oil on the head? For eg. Does it have a heating effect on the head or a cooling one? OOS responds: The use of oil is found in many religions and cultures. It has been used during special ceremonies and also as a general health measure. During baptism in the Christian church, holy oil, which is often olive oil, may be used for anointment. At the Chrism mass olive oil blessed by the bishop, "chrism", is used in the ceremony. Like the grape, the Christian missionaries brought the olive tree with them to California for food but also for ceremonial use. Olive oil was used to anoint the early kings of the Greeks and Jews. The Greeks anointed winning athletes and as you say, it is used in the Muslim religion. Olive oil has also been used to anoint the dead in many cultures. It has also been used for every day health measures. The Greeks used oil to clean their bodies. In lieu of soap, at the baths, olive oil was applied to the body then scraped off with special tools. In the time of Muhammad, putting oil on the hair may have been considered a health measure as it discouraged lice and seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff). I don't think it would have had either a cooling or heating effect on the head. Olive oil on the body may help prevent dry skin conditions and eczema and is a mild antibacterial agent just as natural skin oils are.

and clear and Neutrogena. But if all you want is a visible reduce in acne and
better skin quality then you should maybe give it a try. It has a sixty day
money back guarantee. But I think it works different to all people for some it
may not work and for others it may make it completely go away, for me it is
middle.


There are other options if you browse for skin care products on the internet.
have you tried taking Zinc and other vitamins. I take a multivitamin and a zinc
vitamin and I also take silver colloid or in America they call it colloidal
silver.

Hope this helps

Hi everyone! My name is Christina. Every since my second child, I
have had a time with pimples. I use to get the ones they refer to as
cyst. I got fed up and went to the dermatologist. So far, I had
tried a topical cream, an astringent, and two oral meds. NOTHING is
working!

I use to use Clearisil. That dried my face out and ruined the hand
towels I had - LOL. Now I would like to know, what does everyone else
us or do to maintain a nice complexion? Anyone use Proactiv? Any
other home rememdies or over the counter ideas?

I would greatly appreciate any info you have! Thanks :) Christina

Thanks for the info. I am fed up too! My dermatologist keeps trying different meds and nothing seems to work. Obviously I am wasting money with the Dr. visits and the meds he keeps prescribing. Like I haven't wasted enough money on over the counter products. I didn't know anything about the Dimethicone. I do use Tide Free on my laundry, and Bounce Free fabric softner. I read some post, about using Head & Shoulders to clear up acne. Have u tried this or anyone else? Did it help? Christina - Make sure you clean your towels, washcloths and bedding at least once a week. <!--more--> - After you are done taking a shower use one towel specifically for your hair and one for your body. Many of the ingredients in shampoos and conditioners can clog pores. The chemical called Dimethicone (or anything with a "cone" on the end of it) is used in many products nowadays but unfortunately it can cause breakouts. Doctors may say otherwise but I was a heavy Dimethicone user, which is the main ingredient in de-frizzing hair products and suffered from acne from it. It basically coats your hair/skin and keeps oils trapped in your hair follicles/skin. Unfortunately it is in almost every hair/skin products nowadays. - Use a fragrance and dye free Laundry Detergent and fabric softener. The fragrances and dyes can cause or irritate acne. I suggest you do not use liquid fabric softener and instead use dryer sheets. I use the brand ALL Free and Clear detergent and dryer sheets as well as some more natural brands. Liquid Fabric Softener basically coats your clothes with chemicals in the final rinse and can be irritating. (Especially if you put it on your towels and then on your face.) - Drink LOTS of water. This seems to work for everyone. - Always read ingredient labels. You'll notice a lot of acne products contain the exact same thing so why waste your money, right? Also, the skin on my face is very oily and I got so fed up with Acne products I just bought some natural soap. It's called "Seaweed Soap" by Reviva and I use that and a washcloth. The first few days I still had some mild white heads but I no longer get those cyst like acne nodules under the skin. Now my face looks better than it ever did. They put so many chemicals in beauty products nowadays that anyone with skin problems/sensitivity is bound to have problems. I have decided not to use anything with Dimethicone. Even some products that claim to be "natural" contain Dimethicone and other artificial ingredients. I hope this info helped you! Alison Hi everyone! My name is Christina.
