If you have flawless skin & aren't prone to breakouts, this may be an option for you. However, if you have mild to severe acne, using oils other than tea tree oil is going to eventually cause you to breakout. It could take days to weeks but it'll happen.

Great for rough patches all over your body, including your face. There isn't any need for lotion afterwards, either! I make a homemade scrup using sugar and olive oil.

The castor oil didn't quite do it for me but we'll see how the honey works. Thanks for the tip! I have not tried it with honey!

I have insanely sensitive skin, along with dry patches, oily patches, and acne. The only thing I've found to handle all of this is olive oil and honey every morning. I apply it at the begining of my shower, and then at the end of the shower I just wash it off with a bar of cetaphil. It has kept my skin very well moisturized and amazingly balanced. I tried just the cetaphil, just doesn't work that way. Another bonus, after you've applied the oil and honey to your face, run what's left on your hands over the ends of your hair, it prevents split and brittle ends.
