Buy!
By far the best beauty product I've discovered thus far is olive oil. It's not greasy. Really.
I first started using it as an occasional face moisturizer. It's extremely hydrating, and aside from making you smell "like a salad" (or so says my boyfriend) there isn't a single downside; olive oil is extremely cheap and about as natural a product as you can get. (As an aside, my boyfriend now uses olive oil to moisturize more frequently than I do.) My only caveat is that does get a bit greasy if used as a body moisturizer, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're going to put on head to toe pajamas immediately after application.
I've also started to use olive oil as a shaving lotion (after being repeatedly disappointed by some of the other options available). To make it easier to use, I put my olive oil in a stainless steel mister (I use Misto brand) and spray a bit on my legs. It provides a completely smooth surface, I never cut myself or get shaving bumps, and it moisturizes as well!
Finally, someone else who moisturizes with Olive Oil! I will have to try the shaving tip. Thanks!
