5 Uses For: Olive Oil

Hey everyone,
Here are 5 uses for olive oil:
1. Moisturiser
Before you fake tan, apply olive oil to dry patches (knees, elbows, ankles) to stop fake tan looking patchy and unnatural.
Or, if you have dry hands, coat them in olive oil before bed and wear cotton gloves, then in the morning rinse your hands with water and your hands will be really soft!(or do this to your feet and wear socks)
If you've run out of face moisturiser, or have really sensitive skin and cant find one thats sensitive enough, use olive oil just like a normal moisturiser. Apply as thick as you need at night then wash your face as normal in the morning. Please note: dont apply in the morning as it will make you appear shiny and will make your makeup slide.
2. Makeup remover
Apply over entire face, even eyes, then wipe off with a cotton ball. Removes even waterproof makeup.
3. Hair mask
Apply to hair below the ears, then put up in a bun on top of your head and leave for 30 minutues-3 hours. If you have really dry hair or dont have time to be leaving it in for 3 hours, you can sleep with it on. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner and your hair will be super soft!
4. Shaving cream
Use as you would use a shaving cream. Suitable for legs, underarm, bikini, face, anywhere you want to shave!
5. Nail treatment
Soak your nails in olive oil for 5 minutes to strengthen and moisturise nails and soften cuticles
BONUS USE- Mix with an equal amount of sugar to make an exfoliator suitable for all skin types!

I hope you enjoyed this blog, look out for the next one in the series!
