FSS Olive Oil Clear
Olive oil is one of the world's most
beneficial oils. Olive oil benefits have been known for centuries and spanning
many cultures. Olive trees have been a prized plant in the Mediterranean Basin
for thousands of years. Early historical documents make mention of using olive
oil, not only in food, but also in beauty and therapeutic treatments as well.
In modern culture, creams and lotions have replaced topical oils to a large
extent, mostly due to the fact that oils leave the skin looking shiny and well
oily. But there's nothing like olive oil applied topically to bring back
moisture and vibrant health to the hair and the skin.
Olive oil has many skin benefits when used as topical
oil. As a humectant, olive oil naturally moisturizes the skin and draws water
to the applied area. Though most moisturizers and creams can boast similar
benefits, olive oil has the added benefit of being all natural, which means
that it doesn't contain a lot of the same filler ingredients like mineral oil
that can make creams and lotions actually harmful to the skin over time. Not
only is that true, but as natural oil, olive oil has great nutritional benefits
as well. Olive oil is rich in healthy Omega fats that penetrate into the skin
and deliver key nutrients to skin cells. This is something that lotions and
creams can't usually boast. Olive oil contains vitamin E, which has powerful
antioxidant properties, and also polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant properties as well.
Olive oil also offers benefits to the hair. More
and more, hair care products like conditioners and scalp lotions are starting
to add olive oil into their formulas. Using olive oil as a topical oil for the
scalp is a great choice because it also benefits the hair. Since the scalp is
skin, olive oil brings great benefits by moisturizing it and delivering key
nutrients to the follicles and skin cells. The scalp is an area of the skin
that's especially susceptible to dryness, more so in people who wash their hair
frequently and dye their hair. Being able to supplement your skin care and hair
care regimen with natural oil like olive oil is like having a great ally in the
fight against dryness and premature aging. With olive oil, you can
simultaneously nourish the scalp and the hair at the same time.
