Makeup Remover. Out of eye makeup remover? Not a problem. Dab a little olive oil on a cotton swab or tissue and smear away. It even removes waterproof mascara just as efficiently as the store-bought variety. You may find you love it enough to buy a cute storage bottle so you can keep it in the bathroom rather than dragging the big container out of the kitchen every night.

Skin Moisturizer. In a pinch, olive oil makes an acceptable moisturizer. In fact, there’s an entire line of skin care based on olive oil, so don’t be embarrassed to make your own homemade moisturizer from it. Use it straight from the bottle before bedtime on clean skin for an overnight treat, or blend it with a bit of face lotion for a diluted version.

Hair Conditioner. Olive oil shines at this, and so will your hair. Heat up a half cup in the microwave with a bit of rosemary (which stimulates the scalp). Comb it through freshly brushed hair and either let sit or, for a deep condition, wrap hair in a warm towel for 15 minutes. Then wash as usual. Beautifully soft, shiny hair.

Cuticle Treatment. Warm a bit of olive oil and rub into your cuticles. Let sit a few minutes till skin softens, then push back with an orange wood stick. Presto quick nail beauty.

Skin softener. Add a few drops in the tub along with your bath bubbles and a little baking soda for a great soak that your skin will readily absorb. Soft legs in a relaxing flash.

There are many more tricks for olive oil, but this should get you cooking. Don’t forget to pour a cup of tea or glass of wine for yourself which transforms any home beauty remedy into a special occasion. Enjoy your self-care.

I found myself a bottle of olive oil in my mom's kitchen. I just started to use it as a moisturizer. I heard that the greeks used olive oil as their moisturizer, thats why their skin is so beautiful ...
Anyone else here use olive oil as a beauty remedy ?
