It is known that regular consumption of olive oil has a beneficial effect on the entire body. In addition, thanks to its rich nutritional values, olive oil is widely used in cosmetics, as Verywell Health writes, especially in hair, skin, and nail care. Thanks to the fact that it contains a powerful natural antioxidant squalene that protects against skin drying out, essential fatty acids (mostly oleic acid) that have moisturizing properties for both hair and skin, and a significant variety of vitamins, this food also helps reduce the visibility of wrinkles and contributes to better skin elasticity.
Olive oil and skin care
In addition to their anti-inflammatory role, the antioxidants in olive oil protect the skin from negative environmental influences, help prevent skin damage from the sun (note that olive oil does not provide protection from UV radiation), contribute to reducing the visibility of skin damage, while vitamin E helps hydrate the skin and makes it soft and smooth. Since it stimulates the formation of collagen, a protein necessary for maintaining skin elasticity, olive oil contributes to the reduction of wrinkles, and antioxidants also help fight free radicals, preventing the destruction of skin cells. In order to achieve the aforementioned beneficial effects of olive oil on the skin, it is important to consume it regularly, and for some effects, extra virgin olive oil should be applied directly to the skin. For example, olive oil will nourish the skin and restore moisture to it, and has also proven to be a good choice for preventing the formation of stretch marks.

Olive oil and hair care
Consuming quality olive oil helps strengthen hair, reducing hair loss, and restores elasticity to frequently treated hair (for example, by coloring), while occasionally massaging the scalp with a drop of olive oil will reduce dandruff and soothe the scalp. Interestingly, olive oil will restore softness and shine to dry hair, but it will also help regulate oil, meaning that hair will be less oily. Regular use of olive oil can also help prevent brittle and split nails and nourish cuticles. It is enough to apply a few drops of olive oil to the nails and cuticles, massage for a few minutes, and remove excess oil with a tissue.
