3-5 days if you keep it in the fridge is your best bet :)

3-5 days. I agree with Dakota. Do you leave that on your skin or use it as a face mask\scrub? If you're leaving it on all day, the olive oil may clog your pores.

Adding vitamin e will help keep the oil from going rancid and make it last longer

olive oil and sugar are both shelf stable things.... you don't throw the sugar in the sugar bowl out after three days? As long as your keeping a lid on it and not letting excessive water/other stuff in it, it's fine.... if your worried, use it at the sink with dry hands, close lid, put black in kitchen :)
