Keeping skin healthy looking is easily within reach. Most of us have heard of the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, especially for the heart and circulatory system. It seems that olive oil also has beauty properties. The ancient Greeks used to bathe in it.
Olive oil can be found in lip balm, shampoo, bath oil, body wash, lotions, hair care products and soaps. It is suitable for dry, dehydrated skin. It is a rich source of vitamin E, which protects the skin against free-radical cell damage. Olive oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin and is excellent for sensitive and allergic skin.
Olive oil is high in oleic acid, making it a good cell regenerator. It attracts external moisture to the skin while at the same time allowing normal skin functions such as sweating and shedding of dead skin to take place.
Olive oil is non-comedogenic, which means that there is very little possibility of the oil clogging pores.
