Olive Oil, Beauty Secret of Mediterrean Women

For centuries Egyptian and women in the Mediterrean region maintained flawless, beautiful and glowing olive skin using the legendary olive oil. Legends such as Cleopatra were notorious for exemplifying beautiful skin and she was noted to use olive oil in her beauty regimen.

Olive oil is rich in Vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin E has been long used to treat dry skin, soften wrinkles and reduce the appearance of scars. Regular use of olive oil will keep skin soft and moisturized and prevent premature aging. Olive oil can also help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

If using olive oil for topical use, please use only extra virgin oil! Pure and light olive oil have been chemically processed and will not have the beneficial effect on the skin. Also, olive oil will work better for those with dry skin, as it might be too heavy for those with combination or oily skin.



How to use:

1) Apply directly onto face and body as a body oil and wipe off excess
2) Use in the concotion of masks. Mix with avocado and mud and apply to face for a hydrating treatment.
3) Rub over elbows, knees, sole and other rough, dehydrated parts of the body.
4) Apply over cleansed nails to keep them smooth and strong
5) Apply to cleansed, dry, damaged hair to moisturize and strenghten
6) You can also add extra virgin olive oil in bathe water along with sea salt and soak in it.
7) I also love to use 100% extra virgin olive oil soaps, which can be purchased at most health food stores, international stores or online.
