Olive oil as a beauty product

Olive oil as a beauty product

We are familiar with the versatility of olive oil in the kitchen, but did you know that olive oil is also a perfect replacement for various beauty products?

Use olive oil as…

1. Scrub
Olive oil is a perfect base for scrub. Mix it with sugar or sea salt and gently scrub your skin.

2. Cuticle oil
Do you suffer from dry cuticles and sheets around your nails? Massage them with a little olive oil and let it soak in for a while. If necessary, you can then carefully push your cuticles back with a cuticle pusher.

3. Hair treatment To get your dry hair soft and shiny, you can leave olive oil on for ten minutes. After you put it in your hair, put on a shower cap. Then rinse the olive oil and wash your hair to rinse away the last greasy residue.

4. Shaving oil
If you run out of shaving cream, olive oil is an ideal replacement. Especially for people with sensitive skin, olive oil can reduce razor burn.

5. Make-up remover
With olive oil you can even remove waterproof mascara. Be careful around your eyes and don't use too much olive oil. Handy in case of emergency.
