#VALUE!
Is olive oil the natural alternative to Botox? A woman who applied olive oil on her face for a month claims it is. "After trying almost every possible cream, I decided to follow a tip I saw from a 60-year-old French model, who said this is her secret to maintaining healthy, young, and wrinkle-free skin," says the 34-year-old woman named Sophie.
According to Sophie, the model looked great for her age, and "it's hard to believe it's thanks to an ingredient we all have in our kitchen. So I decided if she can do it, so can I—at least give it a try."
Starting out—it was hard to bear. "I hated the greasy feeling on my face and didn't believe anything good could come out of it," Sophie recalls. "Luckily, I applied the oil before bed and washed my face in the morning, so the greasy feeling was gone pretty quickly."
And the result after just a month? "I won't lie, the greasiness didn't fully disappear. However, my skin became incredibly soft and tight, so even washing my face with soap like before felt unnecessary. The small wrinkles didn't completely vanish, but I see a huge improvement from before. My skin looks more radiant than ever," she concluded.
Sophie used only olive oil, but another mask known for its effectiveness in tightening the face, which also includes olive oil, is this:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary oil
Juice from a squeezed lemon
Egg yolk
Mix all the ingredients together, apply on makeup-free face, and wait about half an hour. Then wash with warm water and repeat the process long-term, or until improvement is seen.
