THE MANY BENEFITS AND USES OF OLIVE OIL

No antibiotics or medication needed! No side effects or horrible skin reactions! Leave your skin clear, radiant, and healthy inside and out using olive oil!

Olive oil is loaded with antioxidants like Vitamins A and E. If your skin is damaged by UV rays, reddening, inflammation, the polluted air, second hand smoke, eating unhealthy and fattening foods, stress and lack of sleep, the essential vitamins found in olive oil will repair and rejuvenate your skin.

My skin type is dry and rough; it gets worse with sun exposure, polluted air especially during the cold weather. After many tries of using different pharmaceutical skin care products, I have came to a conclusion that using olive oil as my only skin care treatment helped my skin heal and repair itself quickly, organically, and efficiently leaving my skin feeling naturally beautiful. It works as an amazing, inexpensive moisturizer and its efficacy is incomparable to the drug store skin care products. Adding olive oil to your daily skin care routine is greatly beneficial to your skin and your wallet, not to mention easy to apply and it could be used for more than just skin care!

It is unbelievable how many ingredients you have in your kitchen that can be used for both skin care and health remedies. It is inexpensive, natural, organic and most importantly, the benefits promote longevity and harmony to your body and mind constitution.

Here are the many benefits and uses of olive oil: 

• Skin care (Locks in moisture and repairs skin): I use a cotton ball and a pea size amount of olive oil to apply on the dry parts of my skin.
• Hair care (Olive oil strengthens hair and makes it more flexible.): Simply add a pea size amount to your palms to melt and apply to damp hair.
• Lip balm (Exfoliate and moisten your lips): Combine olive oil with equal parts beeswax and apply it with your fingertip.
• Soothe itchy throats: Sip a little bit of olive oil to quiet that annoying tickle!
• Cooking (Use moderately!): The main type of fat found in all kinds of olive oil is monounsaturated fatty acids which is actually considered as a healthy dietary fat that may lead to many health benefits (such as lowering your cholesterol and blood sugar control).
• Pet care: If you have a cat that needs a healthier coat of fur, just add a small amount of olive oil to the cat food. This will improve healthy skin and a shinier coat.
• Excellent make up remover (Not to mention the excellent benefits of using olive oil on your skin, leaving it soft while repairing damaged cells)
• Promotes longevity: Olive oil is the one of the many healthiest diet on earth. (Jeanne Calment lived to be a very youthful 122 year old woman and gave the credit to her daily consumption of olive oil.)
• Shaving: Drug store shaving gels actually harms your skin more than it treats it. Along with the many skin benefits as mentioned, using olive oil to shave your hair leaves it remarkably smooth. It is quick, easy to shave with, fast to absorb and your skin stays feeling remarkably smooth.
• And many, many more!
