Olive Oil

I have dreadful scars on my legs (Shin and thigh) and a really ugly one on my shoulder -I have posted about these before- Vaseline with cocoa butter and Vitamin E has not worked and I don't want to buy Bio Oil because I like very natural things and I read that Olive Oil clears them right up!?
Can anyone tell me if Olive Oil really works and if so, how much to use and if it's safe to use on the face?
Thanks!! xx

Olive oil won't hurt you, but it probably won't do much for scars.  If the scars are bad enough to be worth the trouble, you could probably have them minimized by a plastic surgeon.  If not, try Mederma.  It's based on an onion extract.

Olive oil has a wide variety of uses for home remedies. It can be used to improve the skin by reducing the appearance of scars through its high amounts of vitamins E and K. Continue rubbing the olive oil on your scars for approximately five minutes. This will loosen the scar tissue.
