Olive oil: application in the battle for beauty and health.

Olive oil - a truly unique product, not without reason according to legend, the Greeks preferred olive to the source of Poseidon. This is food, and wood, and medicine, and cosmetic. As soon as he was not praised - and "liquid gold" was called, and science was created for the sake of studying its useful properties.

What is it about this oil that makes people sing to him enthusiastic odes?

This, in the first place, a large content of vitamin E. Vitamin E already, in turn, helps the body absorb vitamins A and K, due to which the body is better cleared.

Also, the monounsaturated fatty acids contained in the oil are of great benefit to the body. They keep the level of cholesterol in the norm. If, of course, regularly use it.

So, get acquainted, olive oil. Application number one.

The most, perhaps, common and familiar: olive oil is an application in cooking. Especially often it is used in the Mediterranean countries, they serve salads, adding also a little balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, frying meat, add it while quenching food ...

Olive oil: application number two - cosmetology.

In salons, of course, it's nice to spend time, but at home you can arrange yourself an equivalent replacement for some procedures. For example, olive oil produces excellent hair masks. They soften the scalp, they can overcome dandruff and hair after such masks are silky and not at all confused.

What you need:

- a little olive oil;

- one egg;

2-3 tablespoons of honey;

- A couple of drops of essential oil (your beloved) to drown out the smell of the egg. Optional.

Apply to the entire length of the hair and scalp, wrap the head with food film or use a shower cap, and on top of the towel. Half an hour or so to wait and wash off. You can rinse with water and lemon (for half a liter of water, 0.5 lemon juice). And you can apply a little oil on the tips of your hair half an hour before washing your head, the effect of "liquid crystals" will be evident. That is, on the hair.

Many women say that there is no better mask for dry skin than olive oil applied to clean skin. You can add a few drops of oil in your usual moisturizing cream, this application will make it even nutritious.

Olive oil: application in medicine. Number three.

More and more people are practicing a procedure called "liver cleansing with olive oil." It's very simple, but the liver needs to be cleaned anyway. Cleaning this is that every day on an empty stomach you will need to drink one tablespoon of olive oil. This is rather a preventive measure, its duration is not limited. You can strengthen the effect and add juice to half a lemon - just we have half of what we used to rinse hair. Lemon also helps the bile to leave the body.

And they say that you can use olive oil against cellulite. Number four.

Exposed to cellulite, unfortunately, almost all women: both thin, and fat, and young, and aged ... First, the oil itself removes toxins from the body, therefore, makes it work better. This is a blow to cellulite number one - from within.

And the second blow is from the outside. These are wraps, massages and baths with oil.

It is possible to do one thing in some days, and in another - another. For example, today we take a bath - dissolved half a glass of olive oil with a few drops of orange oil, added to the bath, enjoy 15-20 minutes. If a little pinch - do not be afraid, this orange oil. The use of olive oil in these procedures moisturizes the skin, especially if you do not wipe it immediately after the bath, and slightly soak with a towel.

Tomorrow we will make wrappings - before the shower we will put oil on the problem zones and wrap all the food film (the one that was wrapped around our head when we made the mask). You can lie under a warm blanket to enhance the effect. 15-20 minutes are enough, after all, the day after tomorrow we have a massage with oil.

You can do it in any of the known ways - as you like. We put oil on and do it. There are special anti-cellulite massagers, brushes with stiff bristles, you can just hands, circular motions.

For all these purposes it is better to buy oil marked Extra Virgin (the same as the first cold pressed), it tastes better and has more useful properties.
