Most people are closed to using cooking supplies on their skin but honestly the stuff you find in your kitchen is the stuff you find in most hair and skin products lately. Things like Avocado are used in most products and it actually works way better than artificial products. We could go on and on about the moisturising properties of Olive Oil. It’s so great, you can find it in many of your favourite beauty buys, like shampoo, makeup removers, and body lotions. But you don’t need to spend big bucks to reap its benefits.

Here’s a list of Top 10 Reasons Why Olive Is Good For You:

1. Remove makeup

Swipe a bit of olive oil along your face and eyes to remove the cosmetics you applied earlier in the day. Follow with your nightly face wash regimen for clean skin.

2. Shave your legs

Olive oil is a perfect substitute for shaving cream. Simply rub a few drops on your legs before you begin to shave—just be careful you don’t slip in your tub.

3. Soften cuticles

Olive oil over other cuticle creams any day because it instantly moisturises the skin and nails. Stop burning your fingers with that hot water use Olive Oil that will moisturise your cuticles and is healthier for your nails.

4. Clean makeup brushes

Combine olive oil and two parts antibacterial soap on a plate. Swirl your makeup brushes into the solution—you should start to see residue coming off right away. Once your brushes are clean, rinse them in warm water, and let them dry. Regularly cleaning your brushes helps prevent breakouts.

5. Make a DIY scrub

Olive oil is the perfect base for both body and face exfoliators. Add sugar, salt, or coffee to olive oil to create a paste. Massage the scrub onto your face, arms, and legs to slough off dead skin.

6. Tame frizzy hair

Comb olive oil through dry or frizzy tresses in place of an anti-frizz serum or gel. Just be sure to use an extremely small amount, and only add it from mid-length to the ends, or you could be left with oily roots and nobody wants that.

7. Relieve sunburn

Add olive oil to vinegar and rub the solution along your sunburn to soothe the pain and get your skin to it’s normal healthy condition again.

8. Moisturise heels

Before bed each night, use olive oil on cracked or dry heels, or even add some to your regular foot moisturizer. Then, wear socks to avoid an oily mess, and in the morning your feet will feel refreshed.

9. Hydrate hair

Warm olive oil in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s warm, but not too hot. Pour it over your scalp and hair and let it sit for 20 minutes. Shampoo out the remaining oil in the shower. This pre-shampoo treatment can add moisture and life back to dry, damaged hair.

10. Condition lashes and brows

Just like your scalp and hair, your lashes and brows need some love, too. Rub oil onto your lashes and brows to make them darker and shinier instantly, Olive Oil also helps your lashes get some extra length.
