Can I get the benefits of this just by rubbing it into my skin?

I know rubbing it in certain areas of your body, sometimes diluted in coconut or olive oil, helps certain ailments, but I'm not sure if it will help with overall immunity boost and fighting off illness (I've only ingested). You should use your internet search engine to see the numerous benefits of oil of oregano and how to use.

I mixed one tablespoon of the oil with five parts olive oil and dabbed it on my skin very, very sparingly. I feel the benefits were favorable for me but I did eventually need to take antibiotics. It is extremely strong so be careful not to EVER put it on your skin full strength. Even when you open the package you will immediately taste the odor, and it may burn your eyes. It did mine. I hope this helps...

Of course--that is the main use of oil-of-oregano. The main thing that you and everyone else must understand is that this is NOT to be used without at least a 2:1 ratio of olive-oil and oil-of-oregano. If you put this on your skin or internally at full-strength, you WILL have problems immediately, so just be smart and understand that this is NOT an already prepared mixture of olive-oil and oil-of-oregano, but is PURE oil-of-oregano, with an average percentage of carvacrol at 84/5%, which is very close to the most that you are able to purchase, anywhere. What I have found is that applying the mixture to nail fungus and to itchy patches on the skin, destroys the infection, and after about five days of applying twice per day, using coconut-oil until fully-healed is the best way to use this product when not needed for infection, internally. Now, nail-fungus may need longer to treat, but from my experience about one week of two applications per day is what worked for me.

Yes it can. I use it for dry skin on my face and when I shave I rub it on my skin. It is very refreshing. This is a really good lotion. I hope this helps.

I put it right on my skin and spread it around, but you can also put it in a spray bottle. There are directions on the bottle.

I don't know. It seems to be very, very diluted. Same benefit as putting water on your skin.

Yes! It is supposed to actually make your skin absorb the moisturizer better. Use whatever you like. I put one on with a sunscreen in it.

No, just take a small amount and rub it between your palms (or on your fingertips as I do) and it smoothes out rapidly. It's great stuff!

You can use it for your skin but avoid contact with clothes just use it on your skin

You could do that if you really had to but I wouldn't buy it for that. Because it has little rubber knobs on one side and that would not feel good rubbing on your skin when you dry yourself off.

Treat it like lotion except dont put it around your eyes. And with me I like to pat the serum into my skin rather than rub. I feel like it goes into my skin better

Yes, that would be a good use of it, although it doesn't stop the itching immediately. It seems to reduce itching by soothing the tissue and rehydrating. At first, depending on how compromised your tissue is, it may create a little more of a sensation, but that should wear off after a day or two. I even have that reaction to plain petroleum jelly. The directions seemed well-written and are worth reading and following.

Yeah I would just apply it lightly. I'm not fair skinned but I would imagine it would work for you.

No, just take a small pinch and roll it in your hands. It softens and turns into a lotion :)

Yes! Why not? It's great on the face, and would work nicely anywhere on your body.

Skin is skin. Unless you have extremely sensitive skin, I don't see why you couldn't benefit from it.

You could but it is Very exfoliating! I use it once in a while but with a very light touch. It is made more for the body. It is great at back scratching, though! I think there is a softer one, I forget which color, possibly the pink one, that would be better suited for facial use once in a while.
