The benefits of olive oil for face and eyes
Olive oil is one of the oldest products of the Mediterranean diet, the main countries where it is used are Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain and Portugal. Olives and their derivatives have been used mainly as an essential element for nutrition since the beginning of the Greco-Roman empire and its fruits and oil represented an essential food. Here are our opinions on the benefits of olive oil on the face.
In fact, in ancient times no other tree was as useful, valuable and important as the olive tree, as well as venerated by the Mediterranean people. Olive oil on the face was then introduced into cosmetics as a source of antioxidants and vitamin E, and brought benefits to the skin and its ability to rebalance sebum naturally. Natural cosmetics made with extra virgin olive oil contain active ingredients with a hydrating, protective and sebum-replenishing action, ensuring nourishment, brightness and health for the skin, to keep it vital, elastic and young. Olive oil in the form of aromatic oil and anointing oil was in ancient times the main product for body and face care and for this reason highly appreciated as a traditional component of very popular recipes in folk medicine against burns, itching and dermatoses.
