Alright, let’s talk about bathin’ with that olive oil stuff. You know, the kind you use for cookin’? Yeah, that’s the one. I heard folks sayin’ it’s good for your skin, makes it all soft and smooth like a baby’s bottom. So, I figured, why not give it a whirl? Nothin’ to lose, right?
First off, you gotta get yourself some olive oil. Don’t matter too much what kind, I reckon. The stuff I use for fryin’ chicken works just fine. Just make sure it’s real olive oil, not some of that fake stuff they try to sell you at the big stores. You know, the kind that smells like gasoline? Stay away from that junk.
Now, how you use it is pretty simple. You got two ways to do it, far as I can tell. You can either pour some right into your bath water, or you can rub it on your skin before you get in. I tried both ways, and I gotta say, I like rubbin’ it on better. Feels like it soaks in more, you know?
- If you’re gonna pour it in the bath, don’t go overboard. A little bit goes a long way. Maybe a couple of spoonfuls, somethin’ like that. You don’t want to feel like you’re swimmin’ in a greasy pot of soup.
- If you’re gonna rub it on, do it after you wash up a bit, but while your skin’s still a little wet, just like when you put on your regular lotion, you know? Don’t use too much, just a little dab will do ya. Rub it all over, payin’ special attention to them dry spots, like your elbows and knees. Them spots always gettin’ dry and cracky, like an old dirt road.
Anyways, once you got the oil on, or in the water, just soak yourself for a good long while. Fifteen, twenty minutes, somethin’ like that. Let the oil do its work. It’s supposed to make your skin all soft and moisturized, and help with them wrinkles and spots that come with gettin’ old. I ain’t gettin’ any younger, that’s for sure. Lord knows, anything that helps keep me from lookin’ like a dried up prune is alright by me.
Now, some folks say you gotta wash the oil off after you soak, but I don’t bother. I just pat myself dry with a towel, and that’s it. If you got too much oil on, you might wanna wipe it off a bit, so you don’t go around feelin’ all greasy. But a little bit of oil left on your skin ain’t gonna hurt nothin’. In fact, I think it helps keep your skin soft for longer.
I been doin’ this olive oil bath thing for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I do think it makes a difference. My skin feels softer, smoother, and it don’t itch near as much as it used to. And that’s sayin’ somethin’, ’cause I got skin drier than a desert in the summertime. Plus, it’s a whole lot cheaper than them fancy creams and lotions they sell at the store. And you know how much I like savin’ a penny or two. That stuff costs an arm and a leg, and half the time it don’t even work!
So, if you’re lookin’ for a cheap and easy way to make your skin feel better, I say give the olive oil bath a try. It ain’t gonna hurt nothin’, and you might just be surprised at how good it makes you feel. It’s a nice way to relax too, after a long day of workin’ in the garden, or chasin’ after them grandkids.
And let me tell you somethin’ else, this olive oil thing, it ain’t just for old folks like me. Young folks can use it too. My granddaughter, she’s always complainin’ about her dry skin, especially in the wintertime. I told her to try the olive oil, and she was all skeptical at first, you know how them young ones are. But she tried it, and now she’s hooked. She says it works better than anything she’s ever used. So there you have it. From old folks to young folks, olive oil is the real deal.
Now, I ain’t no doctor or nothin’, so don’t take my word as gospel. But I’m tellin’ you, this here olive oil bath is somethin’ special. It’s natural, it’s cheap, and it works. What more could you ask for? So go on, give it a try. Your skin will thank you for it.
And one more thing, if you’re worried about smellin’ like a salad, don’t be. The olive oil smell doesn’t really stick around on your skin. And even if it did, it ain’t such a bad smell, is it? Smells a whole lot better than them chemical smells in them fancy lotions, that’s for sure.
So there you have it, my two cents on bathin’ with olive oil. Hope it helps y’all out. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go take a bath myself. My old bones are achin’, and my skin’s feelin’ drier than a popcorn fart. Time for a little olive oil magic!
