Of course, the most important fact about good olive oil is that it is incredibly delicious. At Gkazas, we can tell you a lot about our product in addition to that. For example, did you know that olive oil contains anti-inflammatory substances (antioxidants) that are good for your skin? Besides being great in the kitchen, you can also use olive oil on your body!
Olive Oil as a Supplement to Sunscreen
Everyone knows that staying in the sun for too long is very dangerous for the skin, even when you apply sunscreen. An interesting fact is that if you don’t stay in the sun too long and you apply sunscreen properly, olive oil can be a great addition. Disclaimer: you don’t apply them at the same time, that would be a mess. No, you apply olive oil after spending the day outside. The antioxidants in the oil help repair any damaged skin cells. Your skin becomes softer and smoother immediately.
Olive Oil as Hydration for the Skin
Following up on the previous point, it’s a great combo to mention that olive oil helps with skin hydration. Applying a thin layer of olive oil keeps the skin soft and supple. It also prevents dryness.
Olive Oil as a Remedy for Skin Aging
Olive oil is very rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E, phytosterols, and polyphenols. These antioxidants are very effective in combating skin aging. Applying olive oil not only helps repair damaged skin cells but also gives your skin a healthier and more youthful appearance for a longer time.
Olive Oil as a Lip Balm Alternative
Our lips are very sensitive and can dry out or even crack when exposed to cold temperatures and wind. A good lip balm will protect the lips during the cold winter months against these inconveniences. However, when you don’t have lip balm immediately available, olive oil is the perfect alternative as it has the same protective effect. Just like balm, it prevents the lips from becoming dry or cracked in harsh weather conditions.
Olive Oil Prevents Irritation from Shaving
Shaving is something many men have to do. It’s not always something they look forward to. It doesn’t help that when you shave your skin can easily become irritated or red. Sometimes, people even get a rash. You guessed it: try using olive oil. Just apply a small amount on your fingers and smooth it on. It often has an immediate effect!
Olive Oil for Acne Scars
We’ve all had acne at some point. Some people more than others. Sometimes even in later years, you might get a stray pimple on your face. Olive oil can help prevent small scars. It’s important to massage the oil onto the area in time so that it can fully perform its healing function. After about 20 minutes, wipe it off. Don’t leave it on to soak in completely.
