I just started to wonder because on Friday night I had a
bath - I ran out a whole tub of hot water before I realise
I had no bath oil in my house, so I used olive oil (plus
lavender oil) instead.

Occasionally I get a catalog for skincare products in the
mail and it includes samples of olive oil soap, lotion, etc.
I figured, cut out the middle man and just use olive oil as
a facial before going to bed. It works.

man... hehehe

Olive oil can be used on very dry hair. Rub it into the
scalp, wrap your head in a hot towel and leave until the
towel cools. Shampoo well!

I've never used olive oil on my skin. I do use aloe vera on
kitchen burns and sunburn. Aloe vera isn't normally used as
a flavor ingredient in cooking, but it is edible. I keep it
on my kitchen shelf. Does that count?

Crisco as a face and body moisturizer. Oatmeal and honey as
a facial scrub. Olive oil in the bath.

I used to scrub my teenage face with cornmeal in some face
cream. My mother told me, in the old days, cornmeal was a
"dry shampoo", which you fluffed in and brushed out. I tried
it once, age 14 and it didn't work. blacksalt who got an
interesting email from an Indian blacksalt dealer today.
He's looking for reps in Thailand.

Wasn't it corn starch?

(laugh) That's what I was thinking. At any rate, in times of
desperation, for me it was baby powder.

Talcum powder (baby powder) was me first thought...but it
isn't a food.

Baking soda mixed with a mild cleanser is a great exfoliator
for the face. Sugar or salt mixed with oil is a wonderful
body scrub.

With my dark hair, it just makes me look old. 🙂 I used
to use baby powder in my hair on halloween when I dressed
up like a dead body.

Oatmeal in bath water is good, espe cially if you have
itchy skin,mask made of oatmeal and honey is also
good. Rosie
