Mediterranean women have long since taken advantage of the superlative powers of olive oil especially when it comes to beauty and skin care. The oil which is obtained by squeezing the tiny fruit was immensely used by the Egyptians to beautify their skin and hugely popular among the ancient Greeks and Romans who incorporated it into their cuisine. So if you’re looking for the secret to beautiful skin, olive oil is your answer. Let’s take a look at some of the best known uses of olive oil in skin care application.
Moisturizer for Dry Skin:
Why go to great lengths searching for a suitable moisturizer for dry skin when you can get it straight from your kitchen. Olive oil is the perfect moisturizer for dry skin especially for excessively dry areas like the elbows and heels. It can even make the dullest looking skin come alive with its luminescent quality. You can also try adding a few drops to your bath for a moisturizing soak.
Treatment of Acne:
While the thought of applying olive oil on the face might seem displeasing, there are many who swear to the healing effect it has in clearing up acne. Just apply some of it to the face like you would a moisturizer and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Wash it off with warm water. Continue with this application twice or thrice in a week and see a noticeable change for yourself.
