Olive Oil has a long history and has been used by humans as far back as 8,000 BC. It is one of those magical substances that is good for almost everything - your diet, your skin, your hands and your nails. As olive oil fat composition is very similar to that of human skin, it's absorbed quickly and helps lock in moisture in the skin. The high percentage of unsaturated fat and vitamins A and E, helpful in preventing sun damage, also work on the outside to soothe and replenish, particularly sensitive skin.
Olive Oil the mainstay of the famed Mediterranean diet as it is a ‘good’ fat and can help lower cholesterol. The oil is also a home remedy for softening ear wax and as a mild laxative. Olive Oil can be used in aromatherapy but other, lighter, oils are usually preferred as carrier oils – olive oil does carry a slight scent. A few drops are often added, particularly in massaging mature or dry skin. Extra virgin is the preferred grade for using cosmetically, either as a deep penetration moisturiser or as a cleanser.
