Natural Skin Care Recipes Using Olive Oil

Olive oil is commonly used today on everything from treating stretch marks, to acne treatments and in anti-aging therapy.  Olive oil production dates back almost 6,000 years, and  in ancient Egyptian civilization it was used as a natural remedy for skin care.

Olive oil is a very important natural skin care ingredient and a great ingredient to use to fight the signs of aging because:

Olive Oil contains antioxidants including vitamin A, B, D, E and K.

Olive Oil contains hydroxytyrosol - a rare and effective antioxidant found in the oil that prevents free radical damage.

Olive Oil contains very potent anti-inflammatory properties.

Olive Oil contains chlorophyll, which helps to repair and feed skin cells.

Olive oil also contains polyphenols, which can REVERSE the process of aging , which will reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Note:  It is recommended that you choose 100% extra virgin olive oil to use on the skin because it is cold pressed. Avoid heat pressed oils, as they are usually void of the vitamins and healthy elements you are looking for in the oil.

Ways to use Olive Oil on the skin:

Olive oil as a moisturizer -

Olive oil can be use on any part of your body, not just your face.  It can be applied directly to the skin as a moisturizer. You can apply it to the feet, hands, elbows - where ever you have dry skin that needs moisturizing. You can apply it and wait several minutes and rinse off, or you can leave on your skin . Olive oil works great on the face as a night cream,  and as a daytime moisturizer as well, and when applied to aging and damaged skin will help to maintain a youthful appearance and reduce the toll that free radicals takes on your skin.

Olive Oil for Dry, Irritated Skin  Conditions -

Adding a few drops of olive oil to your bathwater will keep your skin moisturized and radiant.  Adding olive oil to your bathwater will also help with the discomfort of dry irritated skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.

Olive oil makes a great makeup remover. Dab a few drops on a cotton ball and hold it to the eye area for about 15-20 seconds and wipe makeup away. It even removes water proof mascara .

Olive Oil can also be used for shaving. You can avoid razor bumps, nicks and rashes by applying enough oil to coat the area you want to shave and draw your razor over the areas that are doused in olive oil.

Olive oil as an exfoliant -

Using olive oil as an exfoliant will help remove clogged pores and dead skin cells. Olive Oil will not clog pores.

Try this simple exfoliant:

4 tablespoons granulated sugar + 3 tablespoons olive oil make a great exfoliant for the skin. Use this on the entire body in the shower.  You can use on the face as well, but some sources suggest using SEA SALT mixed with Olive oil works more effectively on the face.

Exfoliating on a regular basis (at least once a week) will get you on your way to healthier and younger looking skin.

Olive Oil as a mask -

Use this Lemon Olive Oil mask on a regular basis to see positive results. It can be used on any skin type.

1 teaspoon olive oil

few drops lemon juice

1/2 cup cooked (and cooled) instant oatmeal

1 egg white

Mix ingredients together. Apply to face and neck area for approximately 15-20 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

This mask is a very effective mask because the olive oil moisturizes, the lemon juice will work to fight blackheads and impurities in the skin, the egg helps to firm and tighten the skin, and the oatmeal nourishes the skin.

Natural Skin Care Recipes Using Avocado To Stimulate Collagen

Our skin is mainly made up of collagen –mainly 80% of the dry weight of the skin is made of collagen. It is the main structural protein found throughout our body. Collagen provides the strength our tissues and organs need while elastin provides the ability to stretch and recoil.

Collagen works hand in hand with elastin in supporting the body’s tissues. It gives the body tissues form and provides firmness and strength. Elastin gives the same body tissues much needed flexibility.  Some people refer to collagen as the “glue that holds the body together”.

The goal in skin rejuvenation is to have a treatment that stimulates new collagen development. Any collagen cream claiming to give immediate results will not be long lasting.  Increasing collagen does not happen overnight as it takes time for a substance to bond with your skin naturally.

It has been scientifically proven that avocado oil stimulates an increase in  the amount of  soluble collagen in the dermis layer of the skin. 

Although avocado oil is officially a vegetable oil, it is really a fruit because it has a stone.

Avocado oil penetrates into deep skin tissue. It enriches, nourishes and revitalizes the skin. The oil is rich in vitamin A, D and E.  The oil contains proteins, lecithin and amino acids.

It is highly therapeutic and is said to have regenerating properties. This oil is ideal for mature and dry skin, or for sensitive and problem skin.

 It also relieves the dryness and itching of psoriasis, eczema and other skin ailments. It is very useful when treating sun, climate or chemical damaged skin that is dehydrated or undernourished.  Avocado oil is very high in nutritional value and will help keep your skin healthy.

 And it stimulates collagen production.

 Here are three simple natural skin care recipes for you to try using  avocado. All these recipes work well for dry winter skin.

Mask #1

mash 1/2 avocado and apply to face. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

Mask # 2

take 1/2 ripe avocado and mix with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Apply to a clean face, leaving it on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Mask #3

1/3 cup peeled and mashed avocado

1/3 cup milk

1 egg yolk

Beat the egg yolk first in a bowl until fluffy.  Add the avocado and milk to the beaten egg. Mix well. Apply to face and leave on for approximately 15-20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.

As you can see, Avocado is an important natural skin care ingredient that has shown positive results in fighting the signs of aging.  There are many more simple and effective natural skin care recipes and ingredients available for you to use that will improve the look of your skin, reduce the signs of aging,  and improve the overall condition of your skin.

Here are two dry skin facial SCRUB recipes you’ll like:

Moisturizing body and facial scrub – you can either use salt or sugar.  Sugar tends to be more gentle than salt, so it’s up to you. If you have super sensitive skin, you may want to use brown sugar.

Use either olive oil, organic extra virgin coconut oil, almond oil, safflower oil or vegetable oil – your going to add one part of oil to 2 parts of the sugar or salt and mix together in a small container. (don’t be alarmed if the salt seperates and falls to the bottom – it will do that).

Use this scrub mixture during showering or bathing. Apply mixture to wet skin in a circular motion and lightly scrub the face, or any other areas of dry skin (elbows, knees, feet). Finish by rinsing well with warm water.

Brown Sugar Scrub for Dry Skin

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon (or less) olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil

Put sugar in the palm of your hand and mix together with oil to create paste. Massage into skin in a circular motion.  Rinse with warm water.
