Olive Oil

live oil is one of the world’s most beneficial oils. Olive oil benefits have been known for centuries and spanning many cultures. Olive trees have been a prized plant in the Mediterranean Basin for thousands of years. Early historical documents make mention of using olive oil, not only in food, but also in beauty and therapeutic treatments as well. In modern culture, creams and lotions have replaced topical oils to a large extent, mostly due to the fact that oils leave the skin looking shiny and well oily. But there’s nothing like olive oil applied topically to bring back moisture and vibrant health to the hair and the skin.

Olive oil has many skin benefits when used as topical oil. As a humectant, olive oil naturally moisturizes the skin and draws water to the applied area. Though most moisturizers and creams can boast similar benefits, olive oil has the added benefit of being all natural, which means that it doesn’t contain a lot of the same filler ingredients like mineral oil that can make creams and lotions actually harmful to the skin over time. Not only is that true, but as natural oil, olive oil has great nutritional benefits as well. Olive oil is rich in healthy Omega fats that penetrate into the skin and deliver key nutrients to skin cells. This is something that lotions and creams can’t usually boast. Olive oil contains vitamin E, which has powerful antioxidant properties, and also polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well.

Olive oil also offers benefits to the hair. More and more, hair care products like conditioners and scalp lotions are starting to add olive oil into their formulas. Using olive oil as a topical oil for the scalp is a great choice because it also benefits the hair. Since the scalp is skin, olive oil brings great benefits by moisturizing it and delivering key nutrients to the follicles and skin cells. The scalp is an area of the skin that’s especially susceptible to dryness, more so in people who wash their hair frequently and dye their hair. Being able to supplement your skin care and hair care regimen with natural oil like olive oil is like having a great ally in the fight against dryness and premature aging. With olive oil, you can simultaneously nourish the scalp and the hair at the same time.
