External Beauty - Olive Oil ~

Recommended by my friend (pt) i've started to use Olive Oil as my night time moisturiser and eye gel ! Trust me.. it's good & it works!! It nourishes the skin & makes it really nice & soft !

Olive oil is very rich in Vitamin K (which is known to build collagen), Vitamin E (high in anti-oxidant), Vitamin A, and other vitamins. It also contains both types of polyunsaturated fat - Omega 3 and Omega 6 which is the right source of fatty acid for our body and skin. Since olive oil is close to our body natural oil, applying it on our skin won't clog pores, but letting it breath. Below are some expecting results from using olive oil on skin:

It is close to human body oil so it helps balance the oil produced on the skin (face). Dry skin will be moisturised. This is the same and will happen to oily skin. Dehydrating skin (i.e. not enough water, not oil) sends message to the brain to naturally produce more oil to the skin to make it 'moist', this is why some people have oily skin yet still dry. By applying olive oil the skin senses that it's needless to produce more oil which leads to a balance.

It doesn't clog pores as it is close to our body oil. In fact, it helps soften the pores and loosen out the dirt in the pores such as blackheads, whiteheads and milia under the eyes, which then leads to small pores.

Helps maintain skin flexibility (with collegen building), prevent/ reduce wrinkles and fades stretch marks (with anti-oxidant), and prolong aging of skin.

You can apply a thin layer every day and night evenly on the whole face, around eyes, lips and neck. In day time apply sunscreen on top. You can even add a couple of drops when you take a bath or apply it to your skin after a shower. It is the best to use extra virgin olive oil as it is non-processed and non-refined.

Compared with the prices of "cosmetic" products out there, a bottle of olive oil cost between $5 - $10 and can last a very long time !!

~~ thanks pt, i really like it ~ its good !!
