Olive oil was already used thousands of years ago as a beauty product by inhabitants of the Mediterranean region. It was one of the favorite products of the beautiful Cleopatra. The ancient Greeks also called olive oil liquid gold, because it could be used for anything and was very valuable. There was even a penalty for cutting down olive trees!
It is not surprising that olive oil is so good for your skin, because it is full of antioxidants, including vitamins A and E, which are known to provide supple skin and prevent premature skin aging. A special type of antioxidant, hydroxytyrosol, is particularly present in large quantities in good quality olive oil. This substance protects very effectively and purifies the skin.
Usage:
Apply olive oil to clean skin immediately after showering or cleansing when your skin is still slightly damp. For example, the olive oil can ensure that your skin retains moisture well and stays hydrated. Apply where needed; on your body or a little bit on your face, possibly after applying a moisturizer.
Olive oil can also be used as a hair mask for a wonderfully soft head of hair. Apply a tablespoon of olive oil to damp hair and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Then wash your hair with shampoo.
