Olive oil can be used as a facial cleanser, makeup remover and deep conditioner. Just like with cooking, using high-quality extra virgin olive oil increases the benefits of use.
Olive oil can be used as a verÂsaÂtile beauty prodÂuct, servÂing as a facial cleanser, makeup remover, deep conÂdiÂtioner, and overÂall skin moisÂturÂizer. Its antioxÂiÂdant propÂerÂties can help reduce scarÂring, comÂbat free radÂiÂcals, and calm redÂness or breakÂouts, makÂing it a benÂeÂfiÂcial addiÂtion to any skinÂcare rouÂtine.
Olive oil is a staÂple in kitchens around the world, but it’s also a mainÂstay in many medÂiÂcine cabÂiÂnets. Olive oil can be used as a facial cleanser, eye makeup remover and deep conÂdiÂtioner. And like any culiÂnary recipe, just make sure to use the right type and amount to get the true benÂeÂfits of olive oil in your beauty regÂiÂmen.

The comÂpounds found in olive oil that can reduce the risk of heart disÂease can also benÂeÂfit the skin. Vitamin E reduces scarÂring, antioxÂiÂdants comÂbat free radÂiÂcals and the anti-inflamÂmaÂtory nature can calm redÂness or breakÂouts. Just like with cookÂing, using high-qualÂity extra virÂgin olive oil increases the benÂeÂfits of use.
Using the oil cleansÂing method, olive oil becomes a subÂstiÂtute for cleanser. Pour a small amount into the palm of your hand and genÂtly masÂsage the oil all over your face, includÂing eyes and lips if makeup needs to be removed. A hot towel placed on the skin helps open the pores and loosen any trapped dirt.
If using straight olive oil seems a litÂtle strange, there are plenty of oil based cleansers to try. Olive oil is a fanÂtasÂtic remover for waterÂproof masÂcara, stubÂborn matte lipÂstick or face paints. Either rub the oil straight onto the skin or use some on a cotÂton ball like a traÂdiÂtional makeup remover.
Olive oil isn’t just for the face — it can be used all over the body. It’s a great option for dry winÂter skin. Massage small amounts onto the knees and elbows or use in place of a body lotion, espeÂcially areas like heels that crack. Before bed, rub oil onto the feet, elbows and knees. Letting the oil sit on your skin overnight can help soften cracked, dry skin. The same method can be used to comÂbat dry hands and cracked cutiÂcles. However, be careÂful applyÂing; the oil can posÂsiÂbly stain fabÂrics or make feet slipÂpery on bathÂroom floors.
An alterÂnaÂtive to store-bought deep conÂdiÂtionÂers is olive oil. When I was growÂing up after swim lessons, my grandÂmother would warm olive oil and masÂsage it into my hair. To really conÂdiÂtion, wrap a warmed towel around the hair and let the oil sit for twenty minÂutes before styling as usual.
If time is an issue, a small amount of olive oil can help tame flyÂaways and conÂdiÂtion dry ends. There are two ways to easÂily treat split ends: coat the ends hair with olive oil before showÂerÂing or smooth a small amount on wet hair before styling. The oil can also help soothe an itchy, winÂter scalp.
Instead of keepÂing olive oil in the kitchen, give it a shot as part of a beauty rouÂtine.
