18 Surprising Benefits of Olive oil for Skin Care - 2
10. Removes makeup
Olive oil is mild and does not sting
when used around the eye area, unlike harsh cosmetic makeup removers.
It is a good option for people with
sensitive skin. To deal with the oily residue after applying olive oil, you can
wash your face with a suitable face wash after removing makeup. This process
will make sure that no residues of makeup remain on the skin.
11. home-made makeup cleanser
You can make a home-made makeup remover
or makeup cleanser using olive oil and castor oil. Depending on the type of
skin you have, you can decide the quantity of olive oil and castor oil
required. If your skin is dry, take more olive oil than castor oil. However, if
your skin is oily, take more castor oil and less olive oil.
12. Prevents premature ageing
Certain antioxidants present in olive
oil, namely hydroxytyrosol and vitamin E forestall premature ageing since they
prevent cell degeneration in the skin. Squalene, a substance present in olive
oil, maintains the elasticity of the skin. Thus, the skin does not sag and
develops a youthful glow, along with firmness.
13. Treat dry and scaly skin
A remedy that can be easily made at home
in order to treat dry and scaly skin involves the use of olive oil. Make a
mixture of olive oil and sea salt. Use this granular mixture on the affected
area to remove dead skin cells and expose the healthy skin underneath. In your
bath, add a few drops of lavender essential oil and a few tablespoons of olive
oil. This home remedy is simple but luxurious and helps you relax while
moisturizing and soothing your entire body.
14. Ideal sunscreen
Did you know that olive oil is a very
good sunscreen as well? Make a mixture of olive oil and tea decoction, taken in
equal proportions, and apply this mixture to your body and face. The tea
decoction can be obtained by boiling tea in water and straining the liquid.
Leave the mixture on your skin for 1 hour. After that, rinse the mixture off
your skin but do not wash because it leaves a residue. This residue will act as
a natural sunscreen.
