Olive oil is a kitchen essential, but it's also a powerhouse natural alternative to many commercial beauty products. Trusted by skincare experts for its moisturizing properties, extra virgin olive oil delivers gentle, effective results.
Use olive oil as...
1. Exfoliating Scrub
Olive oil forms the perfect base for a homemade scrub. Mix it with sugar or sea salt, then gently massage onto damp skin for smooth, refreshed results.
2. Cuticle Oil
Combat dry cuticles and surrounding skin by massaging in a few drops of olive oil. Let it absorb, then gently push back cuticles with a pusher tool if needed.
3. Hair Treatment
Revive dry, dull hair by applying olive oil, covering with a shower cap, and leaving on for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and shampoo to remove any residue, revealing soft, shiny locks.
4. Shaving Oil
Out of shaving cream? Olive oil works wonders, especially for sensitive skin, minimizing razor burn and irritation for a smoother shave.
5. Makeup Remover
Even waterproof mascara bows to olive oil. Apply sparingly around the eyes, wipe gently, and rinse—ideal for emergencies.
