“Use olive oil in eating and for rubbing (on the body), for it is from a mubaarak (blessed) tree.” Oh, it truly is blessed! Some of the natural food products, just like this one, can be a vital part of your beauty routine.
Olive oil is well-known for its highly beneficial properties, but it turns out it’s not good only to the internal organs. Being rich in vitamins, minerals and essential oils,
‘the golden liquid’ might be quite appropriate for sensitive skin. Did you know that olive oil is the active compound in most anti-ageing products? Well, it can prevent from wrinkles’ formation and it’s also said to slow down the aging process.
So, without further ado, here’s
5 home beauty tricks you can do with some olive oil:
- Olive oil bath
In case you happen to have a bathtub at home, it would be a great idea to use olive oil to treat your skin. To prepare the magical SPA procedure, just drop up to five tablespoons of EVOO in the water.
Simple, but effective!
Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to own a bathtub. If that’s the case, don’t be quick to give up on treating your skin. We would suggest that you massage your body with olive oil before going under the shower. Then gently dry your skin with a towel. The
baby-softness that comes afterwards will definitely please you!
- Make-up remover
The olive product is also known to be quite effective for cleansing the face from any make-up. Not only does it clear things out, but it can hydrate the skin as well. Just apply some olive oil over a cotton pad and gently clean your face. First rinse with lukewarm water and then with cold one as this will help stimulate the blood flow.
- Body lotion
It’s no surprise that the natural EVOO is one of the
best body products! You might try using it as a body lotion after you shower. This way you will most likely feel your skin super soft and smooth. What’s more, this is also a great way for you to make your skin look better on the outside and healthier on the inside.
- Eye cream
The best eye creams are the ones made with
100% natural ingredients. And what’s more natural than extra virgin olive oil!? You can use EVOO to treat the area around your eyes in order to prevent from wrinkles mainly. Apply with a soft padding twice a day – in the morning and before bed. Be sure to store the EVOO eye cream in your fridge, though. This way you will notice the fresh coolth over your face.
- Homemade hair mask
Treating your hair and scalp with olive oil can lead to
quick recovery of any damaged cells. And all this in no more than 15 minutes in total! Mix one egg yolk with two tablespoons of EVOO and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Apply on your hair and let it stay like this for 15 min. Then wash it with shampoo and a balm (optional). We guarantee your hair will come out soft and shining like a sun!
