How to Use Olive Oil as a Beauty Aid

May 12, 2009


We are all aware of the health benefits of eating food cooked in olive oil rather than any other vegetable oil, but most of us are not aware of the beauty benefits of olive oil. A lot of beauty products these days are using olive oil due to the benefits of this oil.

If you are suffering from dry skin during the winter or normally have dry skin that looks patchy then you must massage your skin with warm olive oil daily before going for a bath. The oil penetrates into your skin and moisturizes it.

Before you shave your legs, apply olive oil on your skin to make your skin smooth. This helps the razor to move smoothly on your skin and eliminates the need to use it several times on the same area. It also helps to soften the hair, so shaving it off becomes easier. You are left for hair free moisturized skin.

If you suffer from brittle nails then you must soak them in warm olive oil for a few minutes after your bath and then massage the excess oil into your hands to keep them soft. This works best if you do this before you go to bed at night so that the oil does not get wiped off from your skin.

The oil can also be used as a make up remover. Just dab some oil on a moistened cotton ball and rub it all over your skin. The make up will lift off your skin almost instantly. Even mascara which is normally difficult to get rid off wipes off with olive oil with ease.

If you suffer from split ends, hair fall or dandruff olive oil works best to condition your hair. Mix the oil with honey and use it as a conditioning mask. Wash it off within an hour with warm water. You will feel you hair smooth and has a bounce to it.
