Ever wonder what natural products you can use to help with beauty? I hate putting chemicals on my hair and skin, so finding out about completely natural ways to cleanse my skin, wash my hair, and add to my daily routine always make my day a little better.
According to Lisa Drayer, RD, author of The Beauty Diet: Looking Great Has Never Been So Delicious, eating a diet
rich in olive oil makes for less
skin damage and wrinkling. Use it instead of vegetable oil when cooking or add
it to bread instead of butter. Yum!
In fact, olive oil is so good for your skin that you can buy
face cleansers made with water squeezed out of olives during processing.
Extremely nourishing and super natural, L'Occitane En Provence Olive Tree Cleansing Milk couldn’t be much more
nature-friendly.
Olive oil
moisturizers can also be used to revive the skin around your eyes, which can
often get puffy or develop bags. If your concern is other parts of your skin,
there are also rich olive oil-based moisturizers packed full of vitamins
available.

You can
even get soaps packed with olive oil and olive leaf extract that make your skin
soft and silky. If you need to exfoliate, try a body scrub in the shower. The
olive oil in such scrubs will keep your skin from drying out and getting
irritated like with so many other body scrubs that make skin feel tight and
uncomfortable.
While I
wouldn’t go around rubbing olive oil all over my body, I love that there are so
many products out there that are composed with a mix of vitamins and oils that
naturally occur in a simple food like olives.
