Olive oil — often hailed as liquid gold or gods’ nectar — is a fat obtained from ovoid fruit of the olive tree.

The oil is used for different purposes including manufacturing of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and soaps, while it is commonly used in cooking for having the least fats.

Olive oil can be used in different other ways as well to extract health benefits from it. Some of the benefits of this rich-in-health-benefits oil are as follows.

Although it sounds counterintuitive to use oil to fight skin ageing, pimples and blackheads, however regular massaging of the oil on your skin, specially on your face, will reveal afresh a healthy and glowing skin.

The three major antioxidants: vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols, particularly help restore smoothness of skin.

 

Better than moisturizer
