Olive Oil
Olive oil is made by harvesting fresh olives, washing them, and crushing the entire fruit (flesh, skin, and pit) into a thick paste. This paste is then slowly churned to release the oil, and the oil is separated from the water and solid pulp using mechanical pressing or spinning. The remaining oil is packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins that deeply moisturize, combat premature aging, and soothe inflammation. It is a versatile natural remedy to enhance skin hydration and elasticity.

Olive oil helps seal in moisture, softening dry skin. It can be especially effective on dry skin during winter months. You can also use olive oil to moisturize chapped lips. (https://health.clevelandclinic.org/olive-oil-for-skin)

When you apply olive oil to a wound, it acts as a second skin barrier and aids wound healing. “Wounds tend to heal faster when they stay moist,” notes Dr. Kassouf.
Research suggests that triterpenes and other antioxidants in olive oil ease inflammation and stimulate the skin’s production of collagen. This protein helps make new skin cells that replace damaged, dead ones.
Olive oil also has antimicrobial properties. It helps kill bacteria in wounds that can lead to infection.

Healthy fats and antioxidants in olive oil may plump up aging skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. Studies suggest that polyphenols (plant nutrients) in olive oil help make collagen, which minimizes wrinkles and makes skin more elastic.
Polyphenols also have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help counteract cell damage and minimize oxidative stress from free radicals. “Oxidative stress plays a big role in how skin ages,” says Dr. Kassouf. “It can decrease the amount of collagen and elastin in skin, causing your skin to sag.”
