Thoughts on using olive oil for body

I want to go as minimal and natural as possible with my products. I recently started using olive oil as a body (and hopefully face if it works) moisturizer because of its anti inflammatory benefits and because my grandparents swear by it (they both drink 2 tbs/day on top of the amount they put in their food, plus my grandma has used it as a moisturizer.) has anyone done this and enjoyed the results? Im only on week one so far.
