Posted by Jentri Quinn on Aug 16th 2023
Hey Beautiful!
For centuries, olive oil has been celebrated as a symbol of health, prosperity, and beauty.
Revered by ancient civilizations and cherished by modern societies, this extraordinary elixir has earned the nickname "liquid gold."
Olive oil's benefits extend far beyond the culinary realm, as it possesses remarkable properties that can revitalize and nourish your skin, especially after the age of 40.
In this blog post, we'll delve into why olive oil is considered a precious gem for skincare and explain the advantages of using extra virgin olive oil sourced exclusively from our family farm in Puglia, Italy.
Why Olive Oil is Liquid Gold for Your Skin
Olive oil is renowned for its powerful moisturizing abilities, making it a vital component in skincare routines, particularly for those with mature, crepey, and dry skin. As we age, our skin tends to lose its natural elasticity and moisture, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
Extra virgin olive oil comes to the rescue with its wealth of antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Extra virgin olive oil contains potent antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which help combat free radicals that contribute to premature aging. These antioxidants shield the skin from environmental damage and promote a youthful, radiant complexion.
- Deep Hydration: The high concentration of healthy fats in olive oil allows it to penetrate deep into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration. This nourishing property is especially beneficial for combating crepey and dry skin, restoring suppleness and reducing flakiness.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Olive oil's anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin and alleviate redness, making it an ideal remedy for sensitive and reactive skin types.
- Cell Regeneration: The abundance of oleic acid in extra virgin olive oil helps promote cell regeneration, aiding in the healing of damaged skin and diminishing the appearance of scars.
Why Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is Superior
Not all olive oils are created equal, and the quality of the oil greatly depends on various factors, such as the region of origin, climate, and cultivation methods. Our family farm in Puglia, Italy, is the source of the superior extra virgin olive oil that we use in our skincare products.
Here's why it stands out from oils sourced from other regions with different values:
- Puglia's Unique Weather and Climate: Puglia, located in the southern region of Italy, enjoys a Mediterranean climate that is particularly conducive to olive cultivation. The combination of mild winters and hot, sunny summers creates the perfect environment for olive trees to flourish, producing olives with exceptional quality and flavor.
- Heritage and Tradition: Our family has been cultivating olives and producing olive oil in Puglia for generations. This deep-rooted experience ensures that every step of the process, from harvesting to extraction, is carried out with utmost care and adherence to traditional methods, preserving the oil's integrity.
- Rich Soil: Puglia's fertile soil is teeming with essential nutrients that nurture olive trees, resulting in olives with a rich nutritional profile. The soil quality directly influences the oil's taste and therapeutic properties.
- Early Harvesting: We carefully harvest olives at the optimal stage of ripeness, which maximizes the oil's nutritional content and enhances its beneficial effects on the skin.
- Cold-Pressed Extraction: Our extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed, ensuring that no heat or chemicals are involved in the extraction process, preserving the oil's natural goodness.
Embracing olive oil as a staple in your skincare routine after 40 is like welcoming an age-old secret into your beauty arsenal.
