13. Remove Ear Wax
This works for adults, kids, even your pets! If you tend to get excess ear wax buildup, simply put a drop or two of olive oil in your ear each night before bed, and then flush with warm water the next morning. Do this for two or three consecutive nights for best results.
14. Super Eye Cream
If you have ever paid $40, $50, or more for eye cream and thought that you had no alternative, now you do. Olive oil will nourish that tender skin around the eyes and soften fine lines. Since this oil is loaded with antioxidants, it will also prevent wrinkles from forming. All you need to do is to gently dab a few drops of olive oil around the eye area before bedtime. To help stop puffy bags under the eyes, keep some olive oil in your frig and apply a few drops in the morning.
15. Beautifying Face Masks
If you want a face mask that will help to brighten up your complexion, mix one egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Apply this mixture to your clean face and allow it to work for 5 or 10 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. This mask will nourish dry skin, soften fine lines, and brighten the complexion.
Alternatively, if you have normal skin and want a deep cleansing mask mix one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of white cosmetic clay. Apply this mixture to your face and allow it to work for 10 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.
There are so many wonderful things you can do with olive oil. You will not be disappointed with results. After all, Cleopatra, considered to be one of the most beautiful women in history, used olive oil in her beauty routine, so why shouldn’t you?
