Have you ever wondered why Italian women and men have such wonderful looking skin? No, it is not because they are using olive oil facial cleansers- it is because they use olive oil in their diet, each and every day. Whether it is a salad, or preparing vegetables and meat, the olive oil is always there, and in abundance. I know this as I have lived in Italy for over forty years.
Now this is just one ingredient in the Mediterranean diet which is also another reason why they look so great. Add to that the fact that they have a plentiful supply of Vitamin D from the sun in both winter and summer and you begin to get the idea that Italyis a great place to be.
But let us go back to olive oil because this is a rich source of omga-3 fatty acids. In fact it has 0.2 gr per ounce. This is just what we need to keep skin looking at its best. There will be less redness, soreness and there will be an overall improvement in the moisture levels . The only thing to watch out for is NOT to fry olive oil as this can deplete the omega -3 supply.
Now, this is one great ingredient to consume and it is even better if we can include this and other organic ingredients in our olive oil facial cleanser. So what are these magic ingredients and how can they work to really deeply cleanse, nourish and rejuvenate our skin. That is the whole idea given that we are absorbing a whole lot of nasty chemicals, toxins and other nasties in every thing we touch, breathe, eat or drink!
We also have to make sure that we are using those natural and organic ingredients which are actually compatible with our skin. Olive oil comes high on the list here and the others are :-
1. Manuka honey – even better than olive oil in that it is a natural antioxidant and moisturizer but also has antibacterial properties
2. Proteol APL which is extracted form the amino acids in apple juice.
3. Oxi-fend Kiwi fruit extract which is just great at keeping the correct skin pH 5.5 level while being cleansed
So, now we see what should really be in our olive oil facial cleansers and how the above ingredients can do even more. Why get left behind when all the others are jumping on the bandwagon? You will never need to worry about toxins or nasty chemicals again.
