Use of olive oil in body care

Olive oil has moisturizing and soothing properties, so it's great for skin care. You can use it in a variety of ways, here we bring only a few ideas to you.

Pour oil in a bottle and add a few drops of some essential oils - lavender, eucalyptus, mint, grapefruit... It would be best if the bottle was dark so that the content is not changed because of the impact the light can have on the oil. Each time you bathe, add one tablespoon of this oil. In addition to a beneficial effect on your skin, it will smell beautifully. If you prefer to showering, then pour a few drops of oil on the sponge that you use to shower.

I'm sure you know that olive oil is perfect for removing your makeup. Many theatre actresses use it to remove heavy, stage makeup. In addition to taking the makeup more easily, you will also nourish the skin.

If you feel that your skin is tired and dehydrated, make a nutritious mask. Pour three, four tablespoons of olive oil, a spoon of honey, several drops of lemon juice or yogurt. Under the shower, while your skin is wet, butter this mask all over your body, wait a few minutes and then rinse with warm water. Your skin will be hydrated and soft. Olive oil and honey have natural antibacterial properties and help skin to heal small wounds and regenerate.

You can use olive oil and sea salt to scrub your entire body. Pour the handful of salt in a bowl, add oil as much as you can get a "damp" mass and well rub the body. In the blink of an eye, your skin will look radiant, smoothly and revitalized. Do not forget that olive oil is excellent for fingernails and cuticles.

If your hands are dried, butter them with olive oil and hold as long as you like. It is best if you can hold the oil on your hands all night, which you will need gloves for, so if you can sleep with gloves, go ahead, you'll have a whole "new" hands in the morning.

When your lips are dry and chapped, use olive oil and sugar for lip scrub. Mix ingredients and then gently rinse your lips with hot water.

From olive oil you can prepare a nutritious hair mask, especially if you have dry hair. Mix a few tablespoons of olive oil, yogurt and honey (same scale), and pour it on the hair while massaging the scalp. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse.

You must already know about the old recipe for the hair revitalization – olive oil and egg yokes. From this natural packaging your hair will be shiny and bright.
