Cheap facial moisturerizer
Olive oil is the best; better than most special facial moisturizers. Smooth it on over freshly washed skin and pat off any excess after a minute. Use twice a day - morning and night.

I started using olive oil as a skin lotion a few years ago, and absolutely love it. My skin is the best it's been since I was a kid! I put it on right after I shower, before drying off. It takes just a drop per arm, two drops per leg, since it mixes with the water on my skin and spreads very thinly. Then I dry off. The towel doesn't get oily, either.
Olive oil does not stink. If you use a pure cold-pressed oil, it will be quickly absorbed and do its magic. I've been using this for a skin moisturizer for years. I add my favorite pure essential oils choosing them for the properties I want to benefit the skin.

Don't you stink like olive oil then?
Only for a moment, anonymous.

Apply to wet skin or with wet fingers so you can apply it thinly. No need to blot off.
