Why I Both Cook With This Olive Oil and Keep It in My Shower
Briefly

Olive oil is versatile, utilized for cooking and as a skincare solution. Many people have adopted olive oil due to its effectiveness as a moisturizer, especially for dry skin. Ancient Greeks revered it, and dermatologists recommend it for hydrating properties. The idea of using olive oil for skincare came from a facialist-masseuse who incorporated it into treatments. Personal experiences have confirmed its benefits, showing promising results for skin hydration over the years.
For as long as olive oil has been around, people have been using it on their skin. The ancient Greeks considered it liquid gold, dousing it on their Olympians.
Dermatologists also recommend it; Amy Kassouf tells the Cleveland Clinic that it 'can be a great moisturizer for people with dry or sensitive skin.'
After an appointment with a talented facialist-masseuse left my legs feeling deeply hydrated, I learned that she simply used regular old olive oil to massage my legs.
I've been using olive oil for several years as a moisturizer after showers, and it has worked out well for my dry skin.
