Olive nourishing face cream should contain oil or olive extract. This is a natural skin moisturizer, absolutely devoid of allergenic properties. The oil contains useful fatty acids: 85% oleic, 13% linoleic, one percent linolenic, as well as vitamins A, E, D. Such substances are absolutely necessary for dry skin, which needs not only regular care, but also additional measures: nutrition, moisturizing, protection.

Accordingly, nourishing face cream with olive oil has the most positive effect on problematic, sensitive skin. When applied to the face regularly, the product:

• moisturizes, softens, removes dead cells;
• enriches with nutrients, protects against negative influences and fading;
• soothes chapped and irritated skin;
• renews cells and heals damage.

The cream is also useful for those with combination skin. And even oily skin that does not need additional nutrition will benefit from light olive cream; it is only important that it is non-comedogenic. In such cases, it is useful to mix natural oil with a low-fat fermented milk product such as kefir.

In addition to the above, olive nourishing cream removes scars and marks from acne from the face, resulting in the effect of smooth, clean and soft skin.

Olive oil instead of face cream

Every woman knows that face creams with olive oil are useful for everyone. But some use pure oil for face care. Is it possible to apply olive oil instead of face cream, will it cause harm?

It turns out that it is possible and necessary; after all, according to research, olive oil has a double effect: it nourishes from the outside and from the inside. The product does not clog pores, does not leave an oily shine, but is perfectly absorbed, softens, moisturizes, rejuvenates the face. Thanks to systematic application, after a month and a half, fine wrinkles are eliminated, and deep ones become significantly smaller.

• Masks with olive oil are very useful for dry skin: honey-mint, fruit-berry, cottage cheese-yolk. They are applied for 15-20 minutes to saturate with vitamins, moisturize and soften.

For oily skin, combine various substances: 70% olive oil, 30% castor, eucalyptus, cedar, lavender, bergamot or some other oil; the mixture, heated in a water bath, is applied with fingers or a cotton pad. The procedure is performed in the morning or at night. It is not recommended to use a pure product for oily skin.

Removing makeup with oil is very simple: wipe the skin with a sponge soaked in oily liquid instead of cream. Regular wiping improves tone, eliminates pigmentation and wrinkles. Adding lemon juice enhances the whitening properties.

Fine wrinkles around the eyes are well removed by a mixture of olive oil and wheat bran (take equal parts). It is applied to damp skin, massaged for a minute, and washed off after another minute. The method is simple, but quite effective.

Before applying face cream with olive oil, the skin is pre-cleaned. For this purpose, you can use a sponge wrung out after hot water and moistened with oil. It is also convenient to remove makeup in this way.

• for wiping the face after cleansing;
• for various masks (for example, with cabbage; with chamomile and yolk).

It is only necessary to pay attention to the presence of other ingredients in creams and other cosmetics that can provoke allergies and pose a danger to the mother or child.

Due to its naturalness and usefulness, there are no contraindications to the external use of olive oil. However, facial creams with olive oil may contain other ingredients that can cause allergies or side effects.

People prone to allergies are advised to test the effect of the cream by applying a small amount to a patch of skin and observing the reaction in that area.

When using the oil internally, it is necessary to observe moderation, due to its caloric content, diuretic and choleretic action.
