Olive oil is going to be good for your skin no matter how you use it. Just experiment until you find what's best for you. This is the way I started using it:

1. Turn on your sink faucet to a warm setting. Rinse your face off with the warm water so your pores relax.
2. Put a couple of drops of olive oil on (I honestly use a crap load of olive oil because it's good for you) your hands, rub them together, then apply to your face.
3. Massage your face gently. Use this time to let yourself relax and breathe.
4. Turn your faucet back on to the warm setting, and combine a technique of rinsing and massaging to get the olive oil off of your face. The massaging pulls the dirt out of the pores.
5. In stages, gradually turn the water cooler and cooler until the olive oil is just about off. Finish rinsing your face with cool water. Pat your skin dry, and it should look awesome.
