olive oil isn't only for cooking ...

never in my life did i ever think that i would be using oils to cleanse and moisturize my skin. if i could only tell my teen self what i know now ...

clients often give me the sideways glance when i say that they can try using simply everyday oils to care for the skin. it's almost like i've pooh-poohed on their noticeable shiny t-zone ... "oil on oily skin, lady?!?! i don't think so ..."

but there are plenty of benefits in using oils in raw form on the skin ... its just a matter of finding the right one.

olive oil,  for example, can help maintains the skin's elasticity and protect the skin from damage thanks to it's anti-oxidant quality; jojoba creates a protective layer and has been said to break up sebum in clogged pores; and almond oil can soothe, condition and soften the skin.

this is just the tip of the iceberg for oils and their cosmetic benefits. there are many more out there that are great for the skin, it's just a matter of thinking outside of the "lunch" box ...
