I love olive oil. I make salads dressing with it, and drizzle it over almost every meal. But, there are even more uses for olive oil than just at meal time.<\/p>\n

Olive oil is a inexpensive all natural way to improve your beauty routine and your health.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 ways I use it for a “home spa” experience.<\/p>\n

1) Cuticle and nail moisturizer.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Massage olive oil into your\u00a0cuticles and nail bed. You can also soak your hands in a bowl with warm water and olive oil for extra softness.<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Control hair frizz.<\/strong> Depending on your hair texture, a little olive oil applied to the ends can leave hair sleek and shiny.<\/p>\n

3) As hair conditioner treatment. <\/strong>Use olive oil to restore your hair’s health and vibrancy. Heat 1\/2 cup of olive oil ( be careful the oil can get really hot ) and apply to your hair. Cover your hair with a plastic grocery bag and then a warm towel from the dryer. Let the mixture sit for 30-60 minutes. Then shampoo and rinse your hair.<\/p>\n

4) Exfoliate your face and hands.<\/strong> Gently without pulling, rub your skin with olive oil,then scrub with a mixture of equal parts cane sugar and honey. You can also make a exfoliant by combining the olive oil, honey and cane sugar together. Work the mixture over your face in gentle circles, avoiding the eye area.<\/p>\n

5)<\/strong> Soften your skin.<\/strong> At night\u00a0apply olive oil on dry areas, such as your feet or elbows. You can also do this during the day.<\/p>\n
