Benefits of Olive Oil

Hi Beauties,

I use a lot of natural products in my beauty regime and decided to share my remidies with you. One of products I cannot live wthout is olive oil. It is pure and natural and healthy for the skin and body. From my personal experience I recommend using Extra Virgin oilve oil since it's more natural and scentless.

Regardless where olive oil is applied – Face or body, it provides moisture to keep the skin looking healthy and beautiful. This natural moisturizer is best used on damp skin, since it reduces greasiness.

Olive oil works with dry and oily skin types since everyone has to moisturize. However, if one has acne-prone skin, one has to use olive oil in smaller amounts, due to the fact that is can lead up to blocked pores.

Exfoliator

If one has dry and scaly skin, one should mix some sea salt, with the olive oil, and gently message it into the affected areas, to remove the dead skin, and enrich the layer beneath it.

Nails

For those who have dry nails and cuticles, olive oil is the answer. Simply, rub the cuticle area and around the nail, with a few drops of olive oil. This provides the cuticles to stay moist, and thus giving the nails a natural shine.

Eye makeup remover

One can simply add a few drops of olive oil onto a cotton pad and gently remove eye makeup without producing any irritation to the delicate skin around the eye. If regularly used, olive oil shall soften the skin, and smooth out any wrinkles. Then, procede with toner to remove the oil residue.

Hair care

When olive oil used on hair and scalp, it could provide the benefits of a deep conditioner. This is done, by coating one’s hair with olive oil, and leaving it for at least 30 minutes – The longer it’s left onto the hair, the hair shall be smoother and shiner. I, personally leave mine during the night. Afterwards, shampoo regularly twice to remove the film of olive oil, and continue with conditioner.

Avoid stretch-marks, treat dried-out skin and eczema by rubbing oil into affected region straight from the bottle.

Hope you found it helpful.

Take Care,

Dress Haul

Hello Beauties :)

Today I did some damage. I lately sworn not to shop anymore but we all know that that type of promise to self is never kept. 

I bought all the following pieces from a local boutique called She Fashion wear in Mosta Malta. This outlet offers every type of clothing and shoes at affordable prices. 

I bought 4 dresses and a clutch bag. I thing they are perfect for the Summer time since they are light and flowy, perfect for the hot weather here in Malta. 

The first dress I bought is a High Low type of dress. This trend has become very popular and I think it is trendy and classy at the same time. 

The next one is a strapless type of dress. Its coral color caught my eye immediately and I could not pass it up :) It can be worn both in a casual way and also more formally by adding cute heals and a clutch.

The next two dresses are form fitting type of dresses, on the upper part, but then the skirts are quite flowy and light. The blue one has a very cute cut out detail on the back which I taught was very pretty.

The last item that I bought is a white clutch bag. It is simple but it can be matched and paired with almost every outfit. It is a basic item that every girl should have in her closet.

Hope you like this haul. Till the next post,

Take Care
