However, I came across a solution I found is quite remarkable. It may sound peculiar to most, but I started using olive oil a few years back and quite frankly, it has worked wonderfully ever since. Even Charles Atlas, the man that perhaps STARTED the body fitness trend in America, recommended olive oil as the superior solution for pampering one's skin. Of course, he recommended this for men, but I'm here saying that anybody can try it out if they're willing to think a little differently about skin treatment.
Olive oil for dry skin is a very different kind of treatment compared to, let's say, a typical moisturizer. Most of them are developed to work anywhere, anytime. But olive oil should definitely be used right out of the shower. It works best when, after having taken a hot shower, youimmediately apply a generous amount to your face, torso, and wherever else you feel you need to treat your skin.
The surprising thing about olive oil is that despite being a pure oil, it doesn't clog your pores nor will it cause your skin to break out or get dirty. Being wholly organic and natural, it absorbs quite easily and can be applied anytime you're done bathing. However, keep in mind that it can leave a peculiar "shine" to your complexion if you use too much at once (although this shine disappears in an hour or so).
I won't say it's the ultimate solution for everyone, but I do believe that people without allergies to olives should definitely try it out at least once. I recommend using light olive oil as it is cleaner and has a smoother, lighter texture than the other types (extra virgin, regular).
I really hope it works for others like it has for me. If not, then Godspeed and good luck on your search for skin treatment that expresses your beauty.
