Extra Virgin Olive oil is always been my favorite ingredient whenever I make my salad, but other than an ingredient in salad dressing, I discovered that extra virgin olive oil is very good in soothing skin irritation and inflammation, and it can even stop a new pimple from developing.

As for skin irritation one time my legs is so itchy and since I can't find any ointment on my drawer I tried using extra virgin olive oil, and in a minute the itchiness is gone, I didn't even wash the affected area before I apply the extra virgin olive oil, but It works wonder.

Another instance is I felt a pimple will going to develop on my face, since there is the usual pain in one are, so after I wash my face I dab a little olive oil and the next day I just felt a little pain so I keep on putting olive oil and the following day the pain was gone and the pimple never develop anymore.
