The problems with olive oil & skin care - Nashville Skin, Health & Beauty Examiner

There is so much misinformation out there about natural products, and apparently, it makes natural product proponents very angry to address these concerns, so I thought it was a good idea to revisit this  skin care issue:

Do Skin Care Home Remedies Work? Why Natural Skincare Remedies Can Be Deadly | Skin Health Beauty

I have always been fascinated by home remedies and natural skin care remedies. My mother swore by natural remedies, subscribed to “Prevention” magazine, and was an avid user of anything handy around the house, from olive oil to aloe vera leaf to baking soda and bacon grease. I naturally followed her example… to a point, and have frequently used aloe vera for burns, baking soda for insect bites, olive oil on my skin, but I never could bring myself to experiment with bacon grease.

Update!: This link no longer works because the Examiner website shut down in 2016. The Examiner article went on to describe how my mother applied natural oils and bacon grease on a small lesion on her leg for 3 years until it got bigger. When she finally went to the doctor, we discovered she had a melanoma and she eventually died from it. Had she gone straight to the doctor rather than relying on natural remedies, she might be alive today.
