Is rubbing olive oil on your face does any good for problems like pimples or scars?

Yes, because it is like a super-moisturizer. A lot of people think that moisture is bad for acne-prone skin, but it's actually the opposite. The problem with many acne cleansers and treatments is that they can be drying, and the dryness will cause your glands to secrete more oils to make up for the lack of moisture. Exfoliating too much can also put stress on your skin, cause tiny lacerations that can get infected and inflamed (and then it becomes something that looks like a pimple).





Olive oil won't do very much for scars. For those, you can try other natural remedies like Vitamin E oil (I heard it's best to cut open a Vitamin E gelcap and use the oil from that), Rosehip oil, cocoa butter, or garlic. Always make sure you wear sunscreen, because sun exposure can make your scars darker.Is rubbing olive oil on your face does any good for problems like pimples or scars?

No. Olive Oil will be trapped in the skin making pimples even worse and doing nothing for scars. Pimples are easily treated with exfoliants which pull dirt/oil out of the skin and help your skin breathe...scars can be treated with lotions/balms that will lighten them (which happens with age anyway) and make them less noticeable.

For scars take vitamin A and rub on Vitamin E topically
