Should you put olive oil on your skin? Derms sound off

Should you apply your favorite cooking ingredient to your skin?

Olive oil poured into a bowl

Typically, we try to keep food off our faces. However, applying food to the skin isn't exactly new. Skin care professionals have put different foods, like berries, in face masks, and at-home recipes also call for adding ingredients like avocado, often reserved for breakfast.

What about olive oil? Not only is olive oil a food, but the word "oil" may be a turn-off, particularly for people with acne-prone skin. Still, applying olive oil directly to the skin and reaping significant benefits has persisted.
"Recently, DIY, or do it yourself, skincare has gained popularity, with many patients preferring home remedies," said Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, MD, Ph.D., the founder and a dermatologist at Dermatology Circle PLLC, in New York. "This is also encouraged by social media and even a few celebrities. Patients often assume that using olive oil is safe, and indeed, it is for many individuals. Olive oil contains triglycerides that moisturize the skin."
That doesn't mean you should grab a bottle of olive oil from your pantry and lather up. Experts explained the benefits of olive oil for the skin and why some people should skip this one.
