Dr. Liu Wan
In clinical practice, olive oil is used for skincare to effectively moisturize and protect the skin. However, while using olive oil, it is also important to maintain adequate hydration to achieve a balanced water–oil ratio on the skin’s surface. Using olive oil alone for skincare may provide only temporary comfort; skin dryness often develops shortly thereafter. Therefore, skincare creams containing olive oil are generally recommended.
