Olive oil beauty recipes

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Olive oil beauty recipes are some of the simplest skin care recipes. This is because olive oil is readily available and can be purchased at a reasonable price. Olive oil is bursting with Vitamin E which is great for dry skin but can be also used as a moisturizer for normal skin because it nourishes the skin deeply but does not leave a greasy residue.

Check out some of the most common olive oil beauty recipes.

Dry skin mask

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

This dry skin mask can be used to treat both dry skin and as a mask applied to normal skin type. These ingredients will replenish the skin and its deeper layers. Coconut oil is often used in dry skin products; its fatty acids penetrate the skin and nourish it. Honey cleanses the skin and also add nourishment to it. Egg’s proteins do the same thing. This mask is basically a moisture filled recipe :)

Dry skin mask

Ingredients:

1 egg
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon of honey

You will also need a plastic cup with a lid.

Prepare a clean plastic cup. Place a paper towel over it. Beat the egg until fluffy. Gradually, drop by drop, add coconut oil and honey. Mix it until it becomes as thick as mayonnaise. Pour this mass into the cup while holding the paper towel. This will help filter out this solution. Close the cup and leave in the fridge overnight. Next day, apply this mask to the face and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. What remains of this mask, keep tightly closed in a freezer and use any time you need it.
