Olive oil is an excellent source of Vitamin E which is key for beautiful, healthy skin. Weekly use of olive oil will keep skin from becoming dry and help maintain its elasticity.
There’s more to avocados then just yummy guacamole. Avocado is a very beneficial oily food. The healthy fat found in avocados lowers cholesterol when eaten and keeps the skin moisturized when applied during a facial.
When olive oil and avocados are combined they make the perfect facial for those with dry skin. If you suffer from dry skin, try this facial a few times a week.
