Will Olive Oil Baths Make You More Beautiful?

How cool is that!??

Anyway, aside from her “love of life” and “love of spaghetti”, she was quoted as saying that she takes occasional baths in virgin olive oil.

Could this be the beautiful skin/anti-aging secret you’ve been looking for?

Perhaps- if you understand why bathing in olive oil may help your skin.

A little searching turned up the fact that cells of the body degenerate over time, most often due to a build-up of free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by the oxidation of fatty tissue in the body.

Vitamins and compounds such as Vitamin E and phenols are among the antioxidizing substances which protect the human body from the negative effect of free radicals.

Olive oil naturally contains a high percentage of these phenols and vitamin E. In essence, it combats the cell degeneration common in aging.

These factors make olive oil a worthy addition to your skin healthy regimen.
