Beauty Benefits from using Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
The beauty of the Mediterranean lifestyle goes beyond what you eat! The ingredients that we use to create our mouth watering recipes are the ones we rely on to help maintain good health, a fresh, dewy complexion, lustrous hair, and more.

Now you can learn our secrets of olive oil that have made it such a favorite beauty aid for us.

Using Olive Oil (cold press) for your daily and weekly skin treatments:
The ancient Greeks used to bathe with oil, using a special scraper to take off the excess.  Barring allergies, most vegetable oils are compatible with the skin.  To moisturize dry skin, apply it daily directly to dry spots and stretch marks.  You're not going to be using that much so use the best olive oil - extra virgin.  Pure and Light olive oils have been chemically processed; avoid them.

Make a facial mask with olive oil and a good quality of clay mud or avocado.  Leave for 5-10 minutes, then rinse.

Where else is olive oil used?
Lip balm, shampoo, bath oils, hand lotions, soap, soak for nails, massage oil, dandruff treatment, etc.  Soaking fingernails in warm olive oil will soften cuticles and help brittle nails become more resilient.

You can also thicken olive oil and use on dry skin:
You could make an emulsion of water and oil "like mayonnaise" which would thicken and hydrate. Waxes such as beeswax can be added to make more of a liniment or ointment. Heat one pint of olive oil with 1 1/2 ounces of beeswax until melted; cool. Add more wax if necessary and repeat.

Here are Helpful hints from us to you:

Always use the purest olive oil available. Usually, this means organic extra-virgin expeller-pressed olive oil.

Most people think that by purchasing "extra virgin" olive oil they are getting high quality oil. Unfortunately, in most cases, this is not true. It's more complex than that. A label reading extra virgin is no guarantee of quality. For one thing, nowhere does it say that extra virgin olive oil has to be made 100% from olives. A major criterion for grading olive oil is its level of acidity. Extra virgin oil should have a free oleic acid acidity of no more than one percent, whereas ordinary virgin olive oil can have an acidity of up to 3.3 percent.

Find an extra virgin olive oil that is cold pressed, unfiltered, and looks cloudy. The oil should be packaged in dark glass bottles to protect it from the damaging effects of light.
