Olives
First used by ancient Egyptians as cosmetics, olive oil was a crucial ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics and ointments. This is because its lipid structure is like skin, so it’s easily absorbed without irritation.
Aside from its amazing powers to smooth and soften skin, olive oil has regenerating anti-ageing powers on skin tissue and is able to regulate its natural moisturizing system. There’s also a large proportion of polyphenols, and vitamins A, D, E and K, which make it an excellent treatment for skin conditions like acne, psoriasis and eczema.
