Olive oil is enriched with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants making it essential for our skin health. It can fight all those skin and hair that have been knocking on your door and you have no idea how to keep them out. Want to know more about its benefits? Scroll down.
Moisturizes skin:
Olive oil is the most natural moisturizer that you are going to find out there. It hydrates your skin and makes your skin smooth and supple eliminating the dryness you’ve been complaining about. Olive oil is one of nature’s best moisturizers, so it’s no surprise that it can treat dryness and flakiness when applied topically. Olive oil has skin-replenishing properties that help eliminate dryness, flakiness and rough patches. It’s high in oleic acid (omega-9 fatty acid), which helps guard against water loss and linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid), which helps restore damaged cells.
As a cleanser:
Layers of makeup and no idea how to remove it? Here’s olive oil for you. Just take a cotton pad immersed in olive oil and rub it onto your face. Again take a fresh cotton pad to remove the extra oil as well as the extra dirt.
Applying olive oil regularly to your face and body can give you a natural glow.
Rich in antioxidants:
Extra-virgin olive oil—that is unrefined olive oil—is rich in antioxidant compounds, including vitamins, polyphenols, and flavonoids. When used topically, antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, also known as reactive oxygen species. These damaging compounds form after exposure to a stressor, like pollution, and accumulate over time. Ultimately, free radicals can damage the skin and result in visible concerns like fine lines and wrinkles. By neutralizing free radicals, olive oil may help to limit some of these early signs of aging.
Benefits for hair:
Olive oil is all you need for your damaged hair. It’s used in one of the oldest recipes.
Olive oil is known for its strengthening properties:
Olive oil can be a useful addition to any hair care routine, but it’s particularly beneficial for those with brittle strands. Studies have shown that hair treated with olive oil is less susceptible to damage than untreated hair. Olive oil also helps improve hair’s resilience, making it stronger and easier to detangle without breakage.
Tackles dandruff:
Dandruff is a result of a dry and irritated scalp that eventually leads to flaking. The elements in olive oil help rehydrate the scalp and take care of any sort of fungal infection on it. Olive oil eliminates dandruff altogether, which also fixes a whole lot of other hair issues.
Treats split ends:
Since olive oil is a natural conditioner, it hydrates your hair too! Regular use can smoothen and soften the hair, and reduce split ends too.
