THE NATURAL BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL

          I remember growing up and my parents believed in old remedies or just things that work for them as a child. The things I'm speaking of is like as I mentioned old remedies for certain problems or health issues. I remember olive oil, coconut oil, and sulfur 8 was a few products used for hair dressing. My mom used all three on my hair at times. I can remember that sulfur 8 would drain off the scalp and the menthol I just could not handle. I told my mama," This stuff makes my scalp feel open", she replied, " That's conditioner and it is good for ya Shelia". I complained so much that she finally decided to stop using the sulfur 8 on my hair.

          Olive oil is the product I like to talk about today. I want to list a few things about olive oil that many people may know about and then some people may not know anything about its benefits. Olive oil is fat obtain from an olive and can be used for cooking/food, cosmetics, soaps, and etc. I use olive oil mainly for my hair, skin, and food. When olive oil is used for the hair it has great benefits such as keeping the hair shaft healthy like a  hair conditioner but better because it is a natural organic oil. It is greatly needed if you dye or relax the hair and if you use chemicals in general. The olive oil will  keep your hair healthy, shiny,  and smooth or soft yet protected by coating the shaft and the cuticle or outer layer of the hair under chemical wear and tear. Olive oil is good for hair frizz and dandruff as well. When I was younger I had frizzy curly hair and dry scalp. I know olive oil can help with that as well as softening the hair especially curly hair. READ DIRECTIONS always when you have no idea how to use a product and how often it should be used because you don't want too much product on the hair as well as not enough product to condition the hair for great results.

          I do like to use olive oil on food such as a nice salad or I will use it for a healthy cooking oil. This is a great healthy way of obtaining healthier cholesterol levels. Olive oil can help blood clotting issues and help with blood sugar level. DON'T FORGET that this is an oil it is high in calories so use very little at a time or better yet consult a doctor about olive oil and see if it is good for you and your diet.

          The skin is my favorite thing to focus on more than makeup because of the simple fact that I use makeup daily so I need to take care of my skin. Olive oil for the skin is somewhat of a anti aging product. The olive oil nourishes the skin with vitamins A and E and antioxidant that protects the skin. When I use olive oil it helps my dry skin to be hydrated and it helps remove makeup off of my skin in one step. Olive oil helps the cells to replenish new skin cells. We all know how important it is to exfoliate at times even though I have said it many times that I do think that exfoliation is not good for the skin and should not be exfoliated too much or you cause damage to the skin. All of which is my opinion but olive oil such as a virgin olive oil will not cause damage and is a good alternative product to help with replenishing the skin cells and getting rid of dead skin cells which is basically exfoliation but no harsh rough particles needed just virgin olive oil.

           
All that I have mention you can research for yourself but I have personally used Olive Oil and I know that it is a great natural product that has many great benefits for so many things. I wrote about a few and that is the hair, skin, and food but there is more information about all of that and more if you research then you will see for yourself. I greatly recommend this really affordable natural product which is Olive Oil to everyone if you do not already use it. It is a great essential for the body, hair, and etc.
