Olive Oil is that one versatile winter quick fix for almost anything from dry skin to dry lips or even just dull, lifeless skin! This oil is so awesome that even your grandma would agree!
Olive oil is that one ingredient that never goes wrong no matter what concern you have. Let’s check out a few best ways in which you can use olive oil.
Olive Oil for your skin
Olive oil contains Vitamin E, which is an excellent ingredient for your skin. You can use it like a moisturizer for dry and dehydrated skin. Regular moisturization with olive oil reduces dryness, signs of ageing and prevents wrinkles. Give yourself a good massage and say hi to youthful-looking bouncy skin!
For your nails
If you have dry and brittle nails then olive oil shall be your saviour. Take a cotton ball and dip it in olive oil and place on your nail, allowing the oil to penetrate the nail bed, cuticles and surface. You may take one piece for each nail and let it sit and soak into your nails. The Vitamin E in olive oil heals and enriches your nails from within. Such a quick fix to happy nails!
For your hair
Olive oil has magical benefits to treat dandruff and dry scalp and hair. Here’s how you can work the magic: warm the oil to lukewarm temperature and massage into your scalp and hair. Leave it overnight or at least an hour before you wash off. If you have severe dandruff, then repeat at least twice a week and for regular dry hair, once a week is good enough.
Hair removal substitute
Sometimes hair removal foams or creams tend to irritate the skin and so, here’s a better and safer solution! First you need a good wash to get rid of dirt & dust from your skin. Once you’re done, pat dry and take some olive oil and massage well. Make sure you don’t massage in too deep or the oil will dry up, your skin needs to look shiny and glossy for a perfect shave. This hair removal alternative isn’t just great for a perfect shave, but it also moisturizes your skin deeply and leaves it feeling super soft and smooth.
For cracked heels
Cracked heels are super turn offs when you want to flaunt your pretty, strappy sandals but sadly you can’t! So here’s your cracked heel quick fix, take 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon sugar. Use this scrub and exfoliate for 10 minutes. Wash off when you’re done and then massage with olive oil.
It’s officially time to stock up on your olive oil bottles this winter!
