Cleanser
Olive oil can be used as cleansing cream if your skin is dry. Apply olive oil straight to skin and wipe off with a wash cloth.

Facial
Wet face thoroughly, then massage olive oil into your skin. Use about a half a teaspoon of sugar and scrub your face with that, then wipe off gently with a warm, wet cloth until the sugar is all gone.>

Freshness mask
Mix together one tablespoon each of mint, honey, and olive oil in a blender. Apply to clean skin, except for around the eyes. Let sit for ten minutes and then wash.

Mask of youth
To keep your face's complexion from losing its glow, use an olive oil mask 1-2 times a week. Dissolve one tea spoon of clay in clean water and then mix with one table spoon of olive oil. After fifteen minutes wash with warm water.

Anti-wrinkle formula
Twice a week smear the face with a blend of equal parts olive oil and lemon juice.

Silken skin
To keep the skin resilient and tender, rub yourself down with olive oil after taking a bath. It is also advisable to mix 400 grams of rose petals with 1 litre of olive oil. Let it infuse for one week, then strain it. Add three tablespoons of the tincture to a bath.

For a greasy face
Mix 50 grams of ground cabbage leaves with two tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mask for 15 minutes and wash with cool water.

On a winter evening
A cream made from olive oil and avocado softens the skin. This recipe is especially important during the winter.

Feet treatment
Use olive oil on your feet with clean white cotton socks. Helps to soften up you feet and it absorbs better than baby oil.

Bath oil
Use olive oil as bath oil. Two to three tablespoons will do the trick.

Rough or wrinkled elbows
Cut a lemon in half;
Pour olive oil on both halves;
Rest your elbows on the lemons and relax for 10 minutes

For fine lines and wrinkles on breasts
If fine lines or wrinkles are showing on your breasts, apply some olive oil compresses and cover with a warm facecloth. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse.

For a deeper treatment
Mix an egg yolk with olive oil and a little lemon juice. Massage in lightly, put on an old T-shirt and leave on overnight.

Scrub cleanser
Mix 1/2 tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tbsp. water and 1 tbsp. clay.
Apply this mixture with a brush, sit back and relax.
Once the masque is dry, rinse it off with warm water.
Wipe with a cotton pad moistened with rose water, then apply your
favourite toner.

For tender skin on the hands and legs
Periodically rub a blend of olive oil and coarse grade salt onto the skin. Wash with water. If you apply heated olive oil to your calluses at least once a week, you will heal yourself of this dryness of the skin. After such a bath, it's easy to perform a manicure.

For added skin elasticity
A very effective method for keeping your skin smooth and elastic is to take a bath, adding a blend of 50 ml of milk and 50 ml olive oil. If you take such baths regularly, the skin will become noticeably softer.

In any case, daily use of a small amount of Extra Virgin olive oil (in salads, for example) will give your skin additional softness and a natural brilliance.

Lips
To soothe and smooth dry, chapped lips, dab on a little olive oil.

Super moisturizing bath fizzy

1 cup citric acid
2 cups baking soda
1 tsp. fragrance oil
1 tsp. olive oil

BLEND the citric acid and baking soda

If you don't blend well, you end up with a grainy bomb. Add fragrance oil.
Put the bombs in molds, wait a few minutes and tap them out. Let them air
dry for 3 or 4 hours.

The harder you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy, and durable
bomb you will get.

If you want to substitute some of the baking soda, you can substitute up to
1 full cup with dehydrated milk (goat's milk or regular milk).

If you want a colored bath, add powdered food coloring or liquid food
coloring.

If you add 1/2 tsp. of liquid food coloring to the basic recipe, this should give you a colored bath.

If you add 1/8 tsp. powdered food coloring to the basic recipe, you will get a wonderfully vibrant tub.

If your tub is dirty, or has excess oil in it, this recipe will leave a ring around your tub.
