Did you know that olive oil is not only good for your health, but it’s also essential to maintain healthy skin? There is a reason why olive oil appears in many skin care, hair care and cosmetic products.

Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil plays an important role in your skincare and beauty routine. It is rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants and compounds such as squalene and oleocanthal which may prevent aging and repair skin damage. It’s also rich in polyphenols and has amazing moisturizing characteristics. Those qualities make it perfect for your dry skin. According to dermatologist Dr. Bowe, olive oil also is better for your skin than coconut oil as it does not clog pores. Here are some ways you can use Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil on your skin:

Shaving cream:

Just like the good old days, Filippo Berio Olive Oil is perfect for shaving for both men and women. You can easily substitute foam and gel shaving cream with olive oil. It will also help ward off razor burn.

Oil cleansing:

Filippo Berio Olive Oil can be used to dissolve oil-based cosmetics and sebum at a fraction of the price of the cleansing oils found at drugstores! Simply place a hot, damp washcloth on your face for 20 seconds to open your pores. Then massage Filippo Berio Olive Oil into your skin and let it sit for 30 seconds. Finally, use a hot washcloth to wipe the oil away.

Strengthen your lashes and brows:

Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil helps you strengthen your lashes and brows. Before going to bed, use a q-tip and carefully work a light coating of the oil into your eyelashes and eyebrows. Then, in the morning remove the coating with a warm cloth.

As with everything you use on your skin, it is recommended to do a test patch first. Should you experience any adverse reaction, stop using immediately. We recommend keeping only small plastic bottles of olive oil in your bathroom as hot and steamy bathrooms and exposure to light can cause the olive oil to spoil.
