The Benefits of Olive Oil
Olive Oil has known benefits not only when consumed but also when applied to the skin....
- Discovered over 5000 years ago, olive oil quickly became an essential component of skin care. The Egyptians (imagine the legendary Cleopatra), Greeks, Phoenicians, and Romans all took full advantage of this prized oil.
- Olive oil is high in antioxidants, including vitamin E. Antioxidants are nutritional powerhouses that protect against age-accelerating free radicals. The oil of this miraculous fruit will guard your body and your skin... from the inside out.
- When applied to the skin olive oil will:
- Promote a smooth, radiant complexion
- Help maintain elasticity of skin
- Heal dry, brittle nails and soften cuticles
- Condition and add shine to hair
- Studies on mice showed that application of olive oil immediately following exposure to UVB rays has a preventive effect on the formation of tumors and skin cancer.
- Jeanne Calment, who holds the record for the longest confirmed lifespan, reportedly attributed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food and rubbed into her skin.
