How to Use Olive Oil for Beauty

[paknaz]

Olive oil is the only oil made from a fruit. It's not only good for your heart, but also great to apply on your body. Holistic Healer, Stephanie Moore gives these olive oil beauty tips:

"Cuticles and nails: If your cuticles are ragged and your nails are brittle, soak your nails in a cup of olive oil.

Feet: Before you go to bed, smear olive oil on your feet, put on socks, and you'll wake up in the morning with the softest feet ever.

Lips: Soothe your dry, chapped lips, by dabbing on a little olive oil.

Hair: Massage olive oil on your scalp and hair. Cover your hair with a shower or bathing cap and leave on for about 30 minutes. Shampoo. Olive oil helps repair split ends, heals dandruff, and makes your hair silky, and lustrous. Put a few drops on your hair when it's dry to eliminate the frizz.

Skin: Rub olive oil on your hands to soften and moisturize. It's rich in squalene, a natural organic compound and emollient that penetrates the skin, and won't leave a greasy film on it.

Bath: Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to your bath to soothe your skin.

Makeup remover: Use a little olive oil on a Q-tip to take your makeup off. It's as good as any drugstore brand."

Look for olive oil in lip balms, shampoo, hand lotion and soaps - and always use the purest extra virgin olive oil, which is the least processed, and gets its oil from the first pressing of olives.

Sometimes, I use extra virgin olive oil to remove make (aside from my Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm which is also great). Then I let it sit on my face for about 20 minutes then rinse with a cleansing milk.

I also mix it with sugar and regular liquid hand wash soap, and use the mixture on my hands for exfoliation.

Here's 2 easy recipes youcan use. the first one is for the face (dry skin) The 2nd is for nails...

FACE

Mix 2 teaspoons of Organic Olive Oil. 1 Teaspoon thick or runny Honey. Massage into skin for 2-3 minutes gently, and rinse.
You do not need a moisturiser to follow because the oil will soften and hydrate the skin by itself.

NAILS

Take some Olive oil and warm it up in a pan. Don't boil it, just warm it up slightly.
Soak your hands and nails for 2-3 minutes and apply cotton gloves if you have them.
For best results use overnight or at least for an hour, and let the softening begin. Enjoy!

lol. well, my mom used to advise it for removing make up as well when I was young but ever since I have lived alone, I have left that practice. those things can really be expensive but compared to other facial cream, they are sort of cheaper.

Olive oil has a lot of uses. The benefits of olive oil is from head to toe. You can use it as oil massage, for thicker and bouncier hair it prevents hair loss too. You can use olive oil on your face as massage oil, for exfoliation, just add a bit of iodized salt and gently rub on your face till you feel that the dead cells are fully gone.
