Know About Olive Usage on Skin


Here are some of the uses of olive oil for skin care:

  • Antioxidant: delays aging of skin
  • Moisturizer: maintains skin elasticity, smoothness and hydration (Try making a mask by mixing olive oil, egg yolk and honey. Apply on your face and leave for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.)
  • Tonic for the hair: keeps hair moisturized and shiny (Try making a hair mask by mixing olive oil with two eggs. Keep it over the hair for 30 minutes before washing.)
  • For the hands: add two spoons of sugar to olive oil, and rub the mixture on your hands before rinsing with warm water.
  • For the nails: soaking your nails in olive oil and lemon juice for 5 minutes, or leave it overnight, but use gloves; this strengthens the nails.
  • Mascara: add one or two drops of olive oil on mascara that has dried up.


  • Body massage add on to any of the usual skin care product.

  • Homemade recipe: to moisturize and rejuvenate skin (Mix a few drops of olive oil one egg yolk and one spoon of honey. Apply over the face and neck, and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Splash a little bit of cold water in your face and apply a moisturizer.)
