About Olive Oil

Olive Oil and Your Skin




The beautiful Italian actress Sophia Loren has been touting the benefits of olive oil as a skin treatment for decades. We're beginning to listen.  Olive oil softens and smooths skin and has the ability to lock in moisture.  It stimulates collagen and elastin.  It is the perfect skin care for reducing wrinkles around eyes, or as a night-time moisture treatment.  Use to keep cuticles moist or as a treatment to soften dry-chapped hands.  It is also a wonderful lip softener.  Try rubbing a little sea salt mixed with extra virgin olive oil to exfoliate and moisten dry lips.  Ah love carries wonderful skin care products produced using high quantities of olive oil. You can also make your own moisturizers and skin treatments.
