Using Olive Oil in Skin Care

Many people use Olive Oil in skin care because it is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins and is a terrific natural moisturizer.  It provides a protective barrier for the skin, but does not clog pores.  It is believed that the famous ancient beauties Cleopatra and Nefertiti used olive oil for its beauty enhancing properties.

How to use olive oil:

• Massage into nails and cuticles to hydrate and nourish them.
• For dandruff or a dry itchy scalp, massage into scalp at bedtime. Shampoo out in the AM.
• Olive oil is a great natural moisturizer. Massage it in anywhere you have dry skin, even chapped lips.
• Add a couple of tablespoons to a bath to help moisturize and soothe your skin.
• Olive oil is a great cleanser for dry skin.
• Use 1/2 cup honey with 1/4 cup olive oil for a natural hair conditioner. Use less oil if you hair is oily.
• Mix with oatmeal and use as a soothing scrub and/or mask.

Olive oil is also found as an ingredient in many skin care products.
