Handy hint for olive oil

23 Sep 2007 00:00 AM | Posted by Editor

My best beauty tip is to rub olive oil into my cuticles and hands as hands are one of the first places to show your age. Now, at 51, my hands do not give away my age at all!

Olive oil is also good for ur eyelashes. It helps them thicken for volume and lengthens also

Olive oil has vitamins A and E that help repair and renew skin. I use olive oil as skin moisturizer and makeup remover, also olive oil makes the simple solution for dry nails and damaged hairs.

I use olice oil on my nails instead of cuticle oil, its less expensive and works wonders. You can also add some sea salt and rub into your hands it is a great dead skin cure.
