@Dina It is very greasy. I only do it at home on my hair where no one can see. It is not a look to go out with.

Oh with UV protection the oil should be good – I guess.
the people I was talking about put pure oil!!

Ya I thought of putting some during the day, too.. bizarrely I heard Mediterranean women who work outside apply it for PROTECTION. Now I am unaware of how the oil that draws sun to your skin and burns it can PROTECT your hair from it?!
But many Mediterranean women apparently apply it in the morning in the hair, and rinse it in the evening..

do you like the look? does it look greasy?
thanks ))

btw I know quite a few people used to apply olive skin to tan better in the 70s, 80s… my Mom tells me of youth friends.

I am unaware of how many people do so today, but it is REALLY dangerous. many of Mom’s youth acquaintances developed skin cancer, particularly those who tanned excessively.
The oil attracts even more UV radiation to your skin.. DANGEROUS!

I just mean to clarify I advise this to nobody!!

Ahh, I know some people that put those tanning oils to the beach, but I guess they got UV protection. As for the hair, I sporadically do it from time to time during the day though. It sometimes help my dry hair.

for moisture I meant!!!
it goes in quickly if the skin needs it. whatever is not needed you can rinse off after a couple of minutes.
I sometimes apply before I phone somone so I spend some time walking around in the bathroom or so (do NOT forget and sit down somewhere ), and then rinse off.
it is really good for the skin! even more so if you heat it moderately before applying it to skin or hair (but with caution..)

how do you use it with your hair? overnight or during the day?

@Dina
I don’t know if I want to apply olive oil on my skin. That will make me 10 times darker than I am now with the crazy hot sun here. I do love it on the hair though!

Hi love,
hmm if you look into the mirror and block off the prejudice and other people’s opinions – do you like the look of yourself being darker?
I like it a lot with myself even though my Mom says I “look like a gypsy”

So I’d be interested what you think of yourself tanned

Oh and try applying olive oil to your skin! you’ll most likely find it in the kitchen, and it is sooo good for skin and hair. you can apply it overnight (put a towel on your pillow ) and rinse it off in the morning. Hair and skin especially of darker people get fantastically beautiful this way
