JLo’s Olive Oil Skincare claims are a recipe for skin barrier disaster. Please save your face from Olive Oil from the kitchen cabinet. It will not make you look like Jlo and it has no neurotoxin abilities like botox. I am specifically referring to using the Olive Oil you have in the kitchen cabinet and not Olive Oil Skincare that has been formulated by a cosmetic chemist which is VERY different.
It can in-fact damage your skin membrane by creating small holes or gaps in the barrier of your skin. Water can evaporate out which is what we call transepidermal water loss TEWL and this causes dehydration this is also one of the things that worsen inflammatory conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea.
When you have a disrupted skin barrier bad things can get in as well like allergens, irritants, and bacteria this is why people with an impaired barrier are more likely to get contact dermatitis and irritations on their skin. The antioxidant benefits are outweighed with the negatives here my friends!
My favorite Argan oil is product PAORR Oil (pronounced “pow–er” and stands for Powerful Antioxidant Oil). It is the extra virgin form of Argan Oil from Morocco and can be found here:
