It doesn't contain irritants such as perfumes or dyes, and it doesn't take much to use; just apply an amount directly to dry skin, wrinkles, and stretch marks.
There are many different types of cosmetics that contain olive oil so you need to be careful when choosing the right product for your dry skin care needs. Olive oil is also great for the scalp and works wonders with dry tresses accompanied by dry scalp.
