Olive oil 

Can we apply olive oil on face?

Olive oil can be used as part of a daily skincare regimen or as needed when your skin feels dry. Apply a thin layer to moisturize your face after cleansing. Olive oil helps to lock moisture in, so use it after putting on lotion and before makeup.

If you apply a daily sunscreen every morning, gently apply a thin layer of olive oil right before the sunscreen and dab away any excess. 

Olive oil can also be used to help wash off stubborn makeup at the end of the day. If you’ve ever had to chisel off waterproof mascara, you know how harsh makeup removers can be on your skin. Olive oil naturally lifts the makeup off of your skin, making your regular cleanser much more effective.

Is olive oil good for your hair?

Olive oil is great for hair because it contains moisturizing ingredients like squalene and oleic acid. It may also help prevent split ends because it can increase hair elasticity. Apply cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to the ends of the hair, but be sure to avoid the scalp.
