Olive oil bath

Last night I had a bath and put lots of olive oil in it. I even put my hair in it. I heard some old woman with perfect skin swore by it.

Anyone else did this, and what were the effects? Right now my skin is soft, but my hair is uber greasy.

    I use baby oil - cheaper. But have a shower after

    I use olive oil on my skin and almond oil in my hair. The oil works as an intensive hair conditioner, but at the end of the day, it is oil, which is essentially grease, so you should wash your hair thoroughly afterwards or it'll turn into a giant greaseball....

    I use baby oil to take off my makeup sometimes and put it on after the shower, also you can mix it with sugar to make a scrub. I have pretty dry hair - I colour it a lot - sometimes I massage some baby oil, olive oil, veg oil whatevers handy in before i go to sleep, put a towel on my pillow, sleep in it and shampoo it out in the morning, then condition as normal, it's really helped my hair which has been bleached before and which i straighten everyday!
