It's okay to use right? I saw someone say they were going to break out? Noooo.

No. Olive oil is way too thick to use on the face. If you aren't acne prone you can try it, but it clogs up your pores without you realizing. If you want to use a oil, I suggest coconut or jojoba :)

It's really not that good for your skin. especially if you just leave it on your skin.

Do not leave on the skin as it clogs pores but using it to exfoliate is fine. But be careful because even using it to exfoliate can have negative effects on acne prone skin: just spot test a bit before using it on your entire face:

Spot test coconut oil. It's been known to breakout people as well.

Jojoba oil is especially good for skin, it mimics the natural oil your skin produces.

I've been using it mixed with sugar and honey for an exfoliating scrub on my acne prone skin. Since I've been rinsing it off right away after exfoliating I haven't seen it affect my acne. But definitely spot test first.

I use olive oil to remove eye makeup. I like it because it's natural and gentle I use it to take of my eye makeup before I shower then I use a facial scrub in the shower on the rest if my face. I also use sweet almond oil as a moisturizer and it has never bothered my skin and makes it look quite healthy and feel great!

It can cause breakouts because it's not a very noncomedogenic type of oil so just test out a small area before you apply it to the whole face.

If you want to use a oil for moisturizing purposes I would suggest coconut oil. I use a homemade face wash that has coco. Oil and it has helped my acne! I also sometimes use coconut oil after I wash my face for added moisture. Spot test it first though, especially if you're acne prone :)

Yeah it's not noncomedogenic, meaning it can break you out and clog pores. I do use it remove my makeup though then follow with my Clarisonic
