Does anyone here use EVOO on their entire body after they shower? I'm thinking of using it at night on my dry skin. Is it too oily? Easily absorbed?

I use it. I take a shower at night then put it on while still damp then put my PJ's on (long pants) and go to sleep. The heat from my body helps it absorb and my skin is really soft the next day.

Thanks Bronzed,
I've been using it lately in my conditioners and I even added some to my QP Mango butter. I have dry skin in the winter and it dawned on me, since I added some to my lotion, I could use it directly on my skin :)

It may be a little oily initially. I would suggest just adding a good amount to you lotion. I used to use it by itself (as I too have dry skin) and I didn't like the oiliness of it. Mix with lotion it is better.

I love using this after getting out of the shower. It's not too oily for me.

I used EVOO last night after my shower and I loved it!!! :trampolin
It wasn't really oily at all, less oily than baby oil and a hella lot more moisturizing. Actually, after a little while my skin absorbed it and it didn't have an oily feel at all. Im very picky over scent, and the EVOO didn't have a scent really on me, certainly not anything unpleasant. I even had to use some this morning after my shower :D. I went out and bought a bottle to pour the EVOO in cause its a bit awkward pouring it from the big bottle into my hands w/o making a mess. Ladies, give it a try :poke:. I was skeptical at first, when my buddy told me on Sunday that she uses it after her shower at night, I thought it was a little strange. I give EVOO as a body oil :up::up::up:

EVOO is great for your skin and my cousin uses it on her baby's skin. It's much better than baby oil and it conditions the newborn's skin very well. I think it's a good idea to use it on your skin and I like the way it smells.

You can always add a few drops of an essential oil like ylang ylang or sandalwood to help with the scent.

I use it too but I prefer shea butter.
I used EVOO this morning and my skin felt a little dry tonight. I still love it.

baby oil is horrible. its basically mineral oil which clogs ur pores.

I do a couple of times a week. It's just perfect for me, especially now in the winter when my skin is a little bit dry. :)
