Olive oil is very beneficial for the body. Olive oil is beneficial to the skin and hair. It contains antioxidants like phenolic, carotenoid compounds and vitamin E, which eliminate the cells from free radicals and as a result, it prevents aging of our skin and hair. Presence of vitamin E makes hair shiny and lustrous.

During winter and summer season olive oil would be very beneficial for dry skin. It is very useful to eliminate wrinkles, split ends and dandruff in the hairs. The oil can be used in every possible way as we can consume it or we can apply it directly to hair and skin. Olive oil is very good for our heart, mind and blood pressure.

  Skin exfoliation in the removal of dead skin cells. When you get rid of all the dead cells on the surface, you expose the new and radiant skin underneath.

How often should you exfoliate?
If you have delicate or sensitive skin, twice a week might be too much and could cause some irritation. On the other hand, if you live in a warmer climate or your skin is naturally oily, you might have to exfoliate your skin more than twice a week to accommodate a higher build up of dead skin cells.

As long as you are young at heart, you shouldn’t worry about your increasing age and also, you can’t really do anything about the growing old part anyway. So, when we grow old, our skin starts aging and stars getting wrinkly. We start looking ugly and we start losing our self - confidence. Getting old seems to be affecting our mental state a lot and it becomes difficult to handle that. What we need to do is try and come to terms with the fact that our body is supposed to grow old just like everyone else. We cannot help that part but what we can certainly help is our skin from becoming wrinkly.
