A. Absolutely! After washing, do not completely dry your skin. Gently rub in a few drops of oil. The water moisture aids absorption. Olive oil is rich in vitamin E and squalene, two phytochemicals that nourish and moisturize skin tissue. Vitamin E is also antiseptic and ideal for sore muscles, cuts and abrasions and its administered to burn victims to heal and protect damaged tissue.
