Is it good for your skin or does it break you out? I really wanna try bc my mascara is hell to take off.

It didn't do much for me and broke me out. Try Neutrogena eye makeup remover, it is seriously the best.

If you wish it off it should be fine.
I always use natural oils to remove my mascaras, they work beautifully.
You can use a non-comedogenic oil like Jojoba as well, if you are feeling off by the olive oil.
I leave on the oil on my lashes alone for about a minute, so that it breaks down the mascara. Then I go ahead and gently massage my lashes up and down, until I can feel them again. Depending on how long you leave it on and how much you do it... a lot of mascara will come off leaving you with racoon eyes.. so have a tissue handy to wipe it off.

Olive oil is one of the comedogenic oils which means it has a higher chance to break you out/clog your pores. Instead, try researching for non comedogenic oils. I so far own avocado oil, evening primrose oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil and sesame oil which all have different purposes for benefiting the skin. All of them are wonderful for removing makeup because it doesn't leave a heavy residue behind like olive oil does and instead, they absorb cry quickly and are light oils.

I wouldn't use Olive oil on your face it will most likely break you out. If you want to use some type of oil to take of mascara use baby oil. I used baby oil to remove my mascara and it worked great but I would recommend a makeup wipe to remove your face makeup.
