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,
Rachel
