(drum roll please)
Olive oil.
Olive oil is not some new fancy product. It has been around for thousands of years and is as good for your insides as it is for your outsides. Olive oil has vitamin E and oleic acid in it. Both of those are fabulous for your skin and hair.
Dry Scalp...
Take olive oil and put it into a hair dye bottle or even one of those plastic bottles that you can put ketchup or mustard in. Then section your hair and put it along the hair line. Rub it in with your finger tips. Then brush your hair from root to tip and cover with a shower cap. Sleep with this on overnight. Then in the morning add shampoo to your hair and rub in. Rinse it out. Then shampoo again as normal. You will love how this leaves your scalp and hair looking.
Dry Hair....
You can also heat up the olive oil, apply to your hair from about ear level down, wrap it in a hot towel and cover with a shower cap. Leave it on for about 30 minutes and then wash your hair as normal.
Eye Makeup Remover...
You can use just olive oil or equal parts olive/almond oil. I put it on my clean hands or a cotton pad and swipe it across my lids, then wipe clean with a warm, wet washcloth. It works perfect plus it's great for your eyelashes and the delicate skin around your eyes.
Face and Body....
Add olive oil to sugar, table or sea salt and massage into your skin. The gritty texture will slough off any dry skin and the oil will soften your skin. On your legs, you can scrub with a brush in a circular motion and it stimulates the blood flow and benefits the appearance of your skin. You can also just put a couple of capfuls into your bath water.
Lips...
Slick on straight olive oil to your lips and you'll feel a difference instantly.
You have to love an all in one beauty product that you can buy for $5 or less. Plus, it is never a bad thing to have your beauty products mix in with your grocery shopping.
Stay beautiful!
