Natural, cheap, moisture-rich and filled with antioxidants, olive oil is a simple but effective product to use on skin and hair. These 5 celebrities believe applying the basic oil leaves their hair shiny and body feeling soft. Noticing a big difference, they believe it isn’t necessary to buy expensive products when they’ve already found that budget-friendly olive oil does the job even better and has even been known to clear up skin problems such as acne.
- Emmy Rossum
Emmy applies olive oil directly to skin and hair to add shine: “My moisturizing secret weapon. After a bath, I slather it on my skin and put a little bit in my hair for a subtle sheen.”
- Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth often uses oils on her skin and has experimented with olive oil: ”When I’m flying a lot, I have to make extra effort with my skin, even if it’s just using a quick hot cloth wash and applying organic oils. Anything will do – one time, I even applied olive oil.”
- Jerry Hall
Jerry uses olive oil on her hair and body to boost moisture and softness: ”At work my hair takes a lot of punishment from hot rollers and curling tongs but olive oil keeps it beautifully shiny. And slathering olive oil on my skin once a week, just like I do to my hair, makes sure it stays soft.”
- Liv Tyler
Liv smears olive oil on dry lips to repair them overnight: “If your lips are really dry, you can just literally put olive oil on them at night.”
- Miranda Kerr
Miranda creates her own natural hair mask from olive oil and lemon juice: ”Olive oil and lemon juice! At least once a week, I mix the two together and leave the mixture on my hair for as long as possible. It’s a home recipe my mother taught me and I have yet to find a better way to repair my split ends after a catwalk show.”
