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.
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.
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.
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.
