Olive Oil Beauty Tips
The ultimate beauty secret

Upon rising and before eating anything, swallow 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Buy your favorite olive oil and start your regimen today. Experiment to find your favourite olive oil.

Beauty is skin deep*
The first uses of olive oil were actually on the body, not in the body. Olive oil is indeed a beauty oil. In addition to its other properties, the oil helps to improve the appearance and texture of one’s skin and hair. Need proof? Two of the great beauties who regularly use olive oil in their beauty regimens are Jane Seymour on her amazingly beautiful long hair and Sophia Loren who takes two tablespoons of olive oil every day. * The Passionate Olive

Did you know that…
Throat: Singers regularly take 2 tablespoons of olive oil for the health of their vocal chords. Known singers who swallow this liquid gold are Celine Dion and Pavarotti. Personally, I swallow the magic elixir prior to every public speaking engagement.

Skin: Massage a small amount of olive oil into skin whenever you need softening and moisturizing. Apply extra oil to rough or cracked areas that need extra attention.

Cuticles and nails: If your cuticles are ragged and your nails brittle and dry, olive oil can help! Soak nails for 30 minutes in a small cup of olive oil.

Feet: Smooth on a generous amount of olive oil before bed, put on cotton socks, and go to sleep. Your feet will be softer and smoother in the morning!

Lips: To soothe and smooth dry chapped lips, dab on a little olive oil.

Hair treatment: This helps repair split ends, helps control dandruff, and makes your hair shiny, silky, and lustrous. Massage a few tablespoons of olive oil into scalp and hair. Cover hair with a shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes or more, then shampoo as usual.

Spas: A visit to my favorite spa always uncovers body and bath products that have the base of olive oil with added herbs and fragrance – I’m never surprised. All our bath and body products contain olive oil and will soften and enrich your hands, feet, body and bath. The liquid soaps are particularly great because we wash our hands so often during the day and the olive oil keeps our hands soft and smooth.
