Beauty tips - Olive oil

Hey guys,

I just read few important beauty tips about using olive oil. I was stunned about its properties.
I am applying the oil every night in my face and then the next morning I wash.

After applying for two days itself, I could see my face glittering literally. So here are the other uses of olive oil. I am also using this for my daughter to remove the cradle caps.

1. A mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup vinegar, & 1/4 cup water used as a night cream will make your skin glow. The olive oil softens and moisturizes and the vinegar lightens discolorations, kills bacteria and loosens dead skin cells. Splash water on your face before applying.

2. Use it as a cleansing cream if your skin is dry.

3. For a facial, wet face thoroughly, then massage olive oil into your skin. Use about a half teaspoon of sugar and scrub your face with that, then wipe off gently with a warm, wet cloth until the sugar is all gone.

4. Use olive oil on your feet with clean white cotton socks. Helps to soften up you feet and it absorbs better than baby oil.

5. It seems when you pour olive oil out there is always a drip, so wipe it uap with your hand and rub it in to your elbows. Wonderful softening properties.

6. Use olive oil as bath oil. Two to three tablespoons will do the trick.

7. Use olive oil for your hair. Not only does it condition, but it also gets rid of the frizz. Put a small drop into your palm & then rub both hands together & apply it to dry hair.

Also you can apply johnson's baby milk cream at nights in your face. This really softens the skin and I am actually loving it. I apply it for my baby followed by mine. Howzzat.. :)

Yes i will inform her and show ur blog..I also admit that these natural things shud be used for our skin and medicinal purpose instead of the chemicals we apply all over and get nothing in return..We have complicated our lives by so much wide variety of products..simple living and high thinking will make our life really fruitful and worthwhile..
