OLIVE oil - Resources available at Home for Mom

[Handmadesoap]

A friend suggested to use OLIVE oil for a healthy skin - great idea, considering that this is a highly nourishing oil.

Have you tried yourself? I got my own OPINION but I'm curious to hear yours. Let me know WHERE you used it and overall FEEL.

In my experience, it was great to know the properties of the olive oil. it contains antioxidants and important substances, such as Vit. E-- aside of it, the smell is not pleasant and the feel is rather too oily. It makes more sense if it's in cosmetics.

OLIVE oil label - the better oil has the grade "VIRGIN" - Extra-Virgin is the absolute best oil - it contains LOW acidity (< 0.8%) and it comes from cold pressing the olives. In cooking or Cosmetics, the better oil is the less processed, virgin oil.

Tips: 1. to help remove make-up, use pure olive oil -- let it soak the area for a minute, take it out with cotton and warm water. It's better than soap/detergents ;^D
2. use pure olive oil on the cuticles after doing your manicure. The healing properties and the nourishing oil help to strenghten the nails.
