Genuine Aristeon olive oil and our health

Real olive oil is rich in healthy nutrients. Regular consumption can prevent many diseases.

Real olive oil protects the heart. Olive oil contains fats, but these are good fats (monounsaturated fatty acids) that help restore the balance between saturated and unsaturated fats and allow for optimal heart function. It is also rich in antioxidants that play a protective role for the heart.

Real olive oil helps fight acne. Contrary to popular belief, applying olive oil to oily and acne-prone skin does not "grease" the skin or make it shinier. On the contrary, olive oil has a cleansing power. You can combine it with 1 drop of lavender essential oil before applying it with a cotton pad to the pimple.

Real olive oil soothes dry hands. The essential fatty acids in olive oil are excellent for dry hands, as they maintain the lipid balance of the skin. For dry, red, or cracked hands, it can be applied directly by massaging it in to penetrate more easily.

Real olive oil hydrates the body. Thanks to its nourishing properties, olive oil deeply moisturizes the skin. It can be applied directly to the body on dry or rough areas (knees, elbows). It will also serve as a base for a homemade exfoliant when mixed with coarse salt.

Real olive oil soothes irritations. Olive oil helps restore the skin's barrier, making it particularly effective for mild irritations, such as after hair removal. It can even be used as a shaving base and will not dry the skin, unlike soap.

Real olive oil nourishes dry hair. Olive oil deeply moisturizes the hair. It is especially indicated when you have dry or curly hair. It should be applied as a pre-shampoo mask with an ideal resting time of 20 minutes.

Real olive oil stimulates eyelash growth. Olive oil encourages hair growth and stimulates growth. To use it on your eyelashes, pour a few drops into the palm of your hand and dip your finger or a cotton swab before carefully applying it to the base of the eyelashes, avoiding the inside of the eye. Leave it for a few minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water using a cotton pad.

Real olive oil is also used against wrinkles. Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, which are beneficial for the skin and have anti-aging properties. You can replace your night care with olive oil mixed with rose floral water, which is excellent for the skin and has anti-wrinkle properties.

Real olive oil removes makeup. Fatty substances (makeup) dissolve... in fat! Therefore, all cleansing oils are beneficial for removing makeup. To make your own makeup remover, simply mix 50% olive oil and 50% lime water (available at pharmacies) in a bottle and shake well to mix the two phases.

Real olive oil prevents cancer. A recent study showed that regular consumption of olive oil could reduce the risk of breast cancer by 38% and protect against colorectal cancer, respiratory cancer, and cancers of the upper digestive system. Don’t forget to add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to your salads.
