It is a healthy fat and it also has a flavor that makes us want to dip bread in it until we are full. But it is also that it is a basic in the beauty routine of southern European women since time immemorial.

Beauty products with olive oil

Multipurpose oil. It is one of the easiest ways to use olive oil for skin and hair care. Brands like The Body Shop or La Chinata have dry oils that we can apply all over the body in different ways. For example, you can add a few drops to the bath water, use it as a pre-wash mask from medium to ends, as a simple moisturizer or add a few drops to your face cream or makeup to have that glow touch that we all seek.
In soap. In the shower, the skin suffers a lot from the action of hot water and from some overly aggressive gels. That is why we have loved the idea of cleaning it with gels or tablets that are respectful and give it a touch of extra hydration thanks to the olive oil as happens with the Olive Tree gourmet soap from Lush or with the shower gel from Sebamed.
As an exfoliator. You can use an olive scrub on both your face and body, keeping in mind that the first will have to be softer than the second. That is why we have fallen in love with the Deep Exfoliation Cream with Olive from Apivita or the Olive Body Scrub from The Body Shop.
For the hair. We already know that multipurpose oils are useful for hair, but there are a little more specific products such as the La Chinata Repairing Mask which is a real wonder or the Oil in Cream from Garnier's Oliva Mítica range.
