Hi everyone
I have heard olive oil is very good for our skin,but i was wondering whether regular use of it,say once in a week,darken our complexion?
Can any one give me pointers on this.

Thanks

I dont think olive oil will make the skin dark...i have used it several times its useful but never changed the skin color though...olive oil proved to be a good moisturizing agent for me..both body and hair

Hi
I am using oilve oil as my body moisturiser for past 2 yrs. I dont see any difference in color of my skin. I doesn't darkens your skin neither makes fairer. But really a good moisturiser. I started using this after trying all the body lotions. By the time i reach office my feet and hand will dry out and looks very bad, After using olive oil it is fesh all the day.

Regards,
AVM

Hi.
If you scared you can try to mix the oil with any whitening lotion and apply it...

Hi Ami and everyone:
you may use olive oil fearlessly. It is not harmfull for your skin nor your color.
I can guarentee you for that. it is always useful oil. It is written in our sacred book also for the use of olive oil and its advantages. you can test it, and see the result. you will not be disappointed.

Hi everyone
I started using olive oil both for body and hair from last week.
I was surprised to see the difference it made to my hair.Before I was using parachute coconut oil and it either made my hair dry or oil depending on how much i applied. But once I applied olive oil, my hair has become smooth and shining. I didnt notice much improvement on my skin, may be I should wait longer.
Thanks to all those poured in suggestions, hope this will help someone else.

Friends;
I have been using olive oil for my body since last 3 plus months. It is very moisturising and has not effected my complexion. I don't know if it is the effect of olive oil but my strech marks are also lightening.
