BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL
Olive oil is not only great for cooking, it also does wonders for the skin, hair and nails. For thousands of years, Mediterranean cultures have used this "liquid gold" to enhance and maintain their natural beauty.
For the Skin
Skin Cleanser
Olive oil is a good oil which pushes out all the bad oil from deep within skin pores. It also dissolves dead cells and drives out dirt, grime, germs and pollution stuck deep within skin pores. These contaminants clog pores and cause acne, whiteheads and black heads, if they aren't removed. Olive oil is recommended for those with dry, normal, mature and combination skin.
Skin Moisturizer
Since the days of ancient Rome, olive oil has been used as a dry skin moisturizer that keeps skin soft, supple and smooth. It contains healthy fatty acids that lubricates and softens rough, dry, itchy skin.
Sunburn Relief
The phenophel compounds in olive oil offer protection and repair action against skin damage through sun exposure. Antioxidants such as tocopherol exist naturally in olive oil and help repair sun damaged skin.
Reduces Wrinkles
Olive oil is rich in anti-oxidants that protects the skin from oxygen stealing free radicals. Wrinkles and fine lines are caused by free radicals depriving the skin of oxygen molecules resulting in dull and lifeless skin cells. Free radicals also damage collagen and elastin which maintain the elasticity of the skin.
For the Hair
