Olive oil & its uses!

Olive oil is one of the most nourishing oils, it can be used in so many different ways for different purposes.
I use it on my hair, body and eyes. Keep reading on to find out how.

Olive oil for the hair:

Get an empty spritzer bottle and fill 3/4 of the way with olive oil. Then add a quite a few drops of avocado oil and almond oil until the bottle is full and shake well before use. How do I use it? I pump a few drops of the mixture to the ends of my hair each night and comb through, if i'm feeling upto it I will also give myself a scalp massage.

Olive oil for the body:

I use the same mixture that I use for my hair and rub it into any dry areas such as, elbows & knees.

Olive oil for the Eyes: (As eye make up remover & lash growth product)

Get an empty bottle and fill it up 1/4 of the way with olive oil and 3/4 filtered mineral water, shake before use. This removes all of my eye make up very effectively, I have tried so many different branded products and some are way too harsh on my eyes. I actually like the MAC one but it can get a little expensive as I go through them very very quickly.

I then wash my face with a nice cleanser which removes all the oily residue, however the residue is actually beneficial as it helps eyelash growth. Dabbing a little olive oil to the eyelashes each night can really help.

You could even add a little to your facial moisturiser for the nightime as this will really penetrate the skin, however, I use rosehip seed oil by Neals Yard which is gorgeous. Finally, I only ever use olive oil for cooking :) A quick tip: Add some finely chopped dried red peppers, lemon juice, dried thyme, black pepper corns and a tiny pinch of salt to a bowl of olive oil and enjoy a scrumptious dipping sauce for your bread.

I hope that you girls try this out and make use of the wonderful olive oil.. let me know if you have any other ways of using it.
