I do not know a thing about you but you probably think that putting oil on your skin will lead to clogged pores and pimples. You would be surprised to learn that some natural oils are actually good for your skin, even if you have an oily complexion. Lately, there has been a lot of hype about olive oil facial cleansers.

Olive oil is excellent oil for use in skin care because it is very similar to the natural oils in human skin. Olive oil can hydrate and rejuvenate your skin without making your skin feel greasy. It is an excellent moisturizing ingredient in products for people with both dry skin and oily skin. However, an olive oil facial cleanser is not the best way to experience the benefits of olive oil for your skin.

If you want to experience the benefits of olive oil for your skin, look for creams and lotions that contain it as an active ingredient. There is an extract called Olivem 800 that contains a lipid fraction of olive oil that has a much great emollient effect compared to other run-of-the-mill olive oil extracts. One of the problems with olive oil facial cleansers is that they are on your skin for such a short time that they do not have the time to penetrate your skin to deliver the maximum effects of the olive oil extract.

Many skin care companies out there are selling products that contain olive oil extract. However, a product is not automatically good and effective just because it contains olive oil extract. The problem with mainstream olive oil facial cleanser is that it contains a number of synthetic chemical ingredients that can harm your skin rather than help it. Such small traces of the olive oil extract are used that it does not even make a difference.

If you want to experience the benefits of olive oil for your skin, use a body lotion that contains the extract Olivem 800 and forget the olive oil facial cleansers. Make sure that the products you use are made up at least 50 percent by active ingredients because otherwise you are not going to experience the maximum benefits.

Now that you are armed with this information, get out there and start looking for a body lotion that contains Olivem 800 extract in order to enjoy all of the benefits this natural oil provides for your skin. Do not waste your time and money with olive oil facial cleansers because they are not going to deliver you the results you are hoping for. Do not get me wrong. Olive oil is a highly beneficial skin care ingredient, but only when used in the right products and right concentrations.
