Olive oil has demonstrated a regenerative power over skin tissue and can regulate your skin’s natural moisturizing system. It softens and smooths the skin and it tones the skin and firms it up, making it excellent for stimulating and healing. It is commonly used to soothe an heal skin irritations and sunburn by applying it directly to the skin. What’s more, is that consumption of olive oil as a dietary ingredient also demonstrates beneficial effects to the skin. One of the reasons why olive oil is so beneficial to the skin is that it is rich in healthy fats and antioxidant vitamin E. Besides this it is also very good for the heart.
Extra virgin olive oil is extremely rich in phenolic antioxidants and squalene and oleic acidas well. In addition to the direct antioxidant capacity of olive oil its extracts are also regarded as having the capacity to inhibit xanthine oxidase activity.
