DIY EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL SKINCARE TREATMENTS
The outer layer of our skin is technically a lipophilic barrier that has a double role- it controls moisture loss from the deeper layers and at the same time it protects us against external factors that may influence our health. Appropriate skin care is necessary and vital.
But, is it really possible to achieve that without exposing our skin to all those chemicals found in beauty products?
The answer is yes!
Olive oil relieves, rejuvenates, hydrates and makes your skin silky smooth. Additionally, it prevents the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
