Bellucci Premium lists seven uses of extra virgin oil for beauty

The company says extra virgin olive oil is a better moisturizer, as EVOO penetrates deep into cells, aids in cell regeneration and softens tissue. It can also reduce the appearance of acne scars.

EVOO, when used as a shaving lubricant, can leave your skin soft.

Olive oil can be applied to the skin and scrubbed with sugar or a coarse salt.

EVOO can be mixed with a little water and can be used to remove wax from your ears.

Applying heated EVOO to dry scalp and hair can help moisturise skin and hair follicles.

EVOO, apart from moisturizing one’s scalp, can also moisturise cuticles.

To remove makeup, adding few drops of EVOO on a cotton ball is an effective way.

Bellucci Premium marketing manager Natalie Sexenian said some people are not aware of the beauty benefits that olive oil can provide.

"These tips are a great way to use olive oil for its moisturizing benefits, and can also be a lot cheaper than buying beauty products that do the same thing," said Sexenian.
