Olive oil: benefits for the skin

Skin
Face
The cosmetic properties of oil have never gone unnoticed. The Egyptians already discovered it 5,000 years ago for massages and to care for and hydrate skin and hair.
It is also said that it was the first calming agent used to soothe certain skin disorders. The Greeks and Romans made special ointments with olive leaves and their oil for athletes and wrestlers. And the list of its cosmetic benefits is very extensive:
• It is a rich source of essential acids that help restore the skin’s natural moisture levels.
• It contains vitamins A, D and K and more vitamin E than any other type of oil. This makes it a powerful antioxidant to combat the formation of free radicals, the main culprits of aging.
• In addition to protecting the skin from external environmental factors, it also hydrates it and maintains the structure of the dermis, achieving better regeneration and greater firmness.
• It has nourishing, regenerating, softening, relaxing, toning and healing properties.
Everything Is Used
But not only its juice is beneficial for your care. The olive pit, crushed, is a perfect exfoliant. In addition, its fruit is a very important nutritional source and an effective antioxidant, as is the tree leaf, which has a power against free radicals and reparative capacity even greater than the olive itself. In this way, many products, thanks to the extraction of the pure concentrate of the leaf, provide a dual anti-aging function: they protect and repair against external aggressions and aging.
An Ingredient for Very Diverse Uses
Now modern cosmetics rescue it to incorporate it into moisturizing creams, exfoliants, cleansers, soaps, shampoos, conditioners and masks, and even in makeup products. All of them to give softness, elasticity, hydration, protection and shine to both your skin and hair.
Precisely a good idea for caring for your mane, if you don’t have the right cosmetics, is to apply a few drops of oil to the scalp with a gentle massage to increase circulation. This will help you relax and strengthen the hair follicles. You can also nourish and add shine to your hair if every 15 days you massage it with oil from root to tips and then cover your head with a hot towel. After 5 minutes you can wash it with your usual shampoo.
