Olive oil is not only great for moisturizing the skin but as a lubricant for shaving especially if you have sensitive skin. Pour out a little oil in the hands and apply to the area of the skin that is to be shaved. It will not be necessary to use an after shave because it naturally moisturizes the skin. It will protect against nicks and cuts while shaving. Always use extra virgin olive oil. It is the least processed.

Unlike commercial shaving creams and lotions olive oil does not contain the chemicals that irritate and dry out skin. It is non-toxic when taken internally. So, you know it’s safe.

Instead of using expensive makeup removers try olive oil.  Apply to skin and wipe repeat as needed.

There are many uses for olive oil. Many you may have never thought of; for example, dry cuticles. Frequent trips to the nail salon or home nail treatments can leave cuticles dry because of over exposure to chemicals. Rubbing a little olive oil on cuticles will soften and make them more pliable. Dry and cracked cuticles can be a problem in the winter.

Most of us at one time or the other has experienced dry chapped lips which can be painful. The flaking skin and cracks in your lips are nothing to laugh at. Chapped lips can be caused by biting, winter weather, over exposure to the sun and vitamin deficiencies. If you wear lipstick with a moisturizer this may not be a problem. But if it is take a little olive oil and apply to lips 2 to 3 times a day for relief. This should help prevent further chapping. It will keep lips smooth. Another benefit of using olive oil is that it contains anti-inflammatory antioxidants.

If you are having a problem with dandruff, apply olive oil to the hair and let sit for about 20 minutes and

Everytime I went to my local drugstore, I diligently read all product labels to make sure they did not contain oil. I never used moisturizers of any kind, including those that were oil free.

When I later decided to shop for department store brands, every sales person I encountered told me I needed to use a moisturizer even though my skin was very oily. Was this just a ploy to get me to buy more products or did my oily skin truly need a moisturizer?
