Olive Essentials Facial Oils - Food For Your Face

Hello Friends!  Today, I'm going to introduce you to two amazing skin care products that I've formulated for Healthy Harvest - www.healthyharvests.com (yes, there is an "s" at the end of the website address - it's not a typo).  I'll explain why I formulated OLIVE ESSENTIALS Facial Oils No. 1 & No. 2 and their benefits to your skin.  This blog is rather long, but it's quite educational . . . besides, don't you want an education about the ingredients in a skin care product prior to making the decision to purchase it?

I'm just going to jump right in and start by saying  . . . if you want to have beautiful, healthy skin for life, then you've got to stop slathering it with crap (and stop eating a diet full of crap - that's a given) - plain and simple. Pardon my frankness, but that's the truth. Let me explain why I say this . . . and I deliver this message during every presentation that I make about skin and body care.  Your skin EATS!  What I mean by that is it absorbs up to 60% of what is applied to it (read: "transdermal penetration").  The healing, rejuvenative, restorative constituents in your pure, natural skin care/body care products will penetrate your skin and oftentimes end up in your bloodstream (if the molecules are tiny enough such as those in essential oils) or . . . at least penetrate into or affect the sub-surface of the skin and muscle tissue.  So, if the good-for-you ingredients can affect your skin, so, too, can the potentially irritating synthetic colors, fragrances, and artificial ingredients in standard skin care - which I suggest that you avoid.  REMEMBER . . . your skin is your largest organ - your "living hide" - so to speak, a living, breathing, and excreting organism - not just an inert covering or container that holds the rest of your organs and bones together.  The ingredients in OLIVE ESSENTIALS Facial Oils are totally biocompatible with your body - your body will recognize the natural nutrients/chemical constituents and your cells will literally drink them up . . . thus, aiding in healing, nourishing, rejuvenating, comforting, restoring, and youthifying your skin - for years to come.

Earlier this year, I partnered with Karl Burgart, owner of Healthy Harvest -  www.healthyharvests.com  and importer of the finest raw, unrefined, unfiltered, enzyme-rich, organic, high polyphenol count (read: high in antioxidants), single estate olive oils (and olives) and created OLIVE ESSENTIALS Facial Oils No. 1 & No. 2 using his ultra-fine, low acid Tuscan olive oil as the base for these wonderful products.  Tuscan olive oil is different . . . it's light and velvety upon the skin - unlike many olive oils - which tend to be moderately heavy.  Think of these facial oils as skin food - essential nourishment for the health of your face, neck, chest, and hands (the texture of your hands will greatly benefit each time you apply these - so be sure to massage it in real well).

I fell in love with using oils to nourish and pamper my skin and body way back in the 1990s. Back then, the so-called "holy grail" of new skin care products were launched by the big commercial cosmetic houses - these being - tiny bottles of expensive facial serums.  I did some ingredient sleuthing, and discovered that they were primarily full of synthetics that irritated the skin and only seemingly worked short-term.  So, I decided to create my own.  I've formulated and used oils to care for and condition my skin (and my client's skin) for decades - way before it was trending. In fact, using oil on the skin to cleanse and/or moisturize is not new . . . it's the beauty secret of ages past.  An ancient secret to youthful, supple, near ageless skin.  Just look at the skin of the elder Greek and Italian women - those who have followed the true Mediterranean diet, eating volumes of fresh, REAL olive oil AND slathering their skin with the same oil. Their skin looks near flawless up into their 80s.  You can enjoy the same experience.  Buy pure olive oil from Karl Burgart at Healthy Harvest (to ingest) and use the facial oils that I - a licensed holistic esthetician - have formulated using his Tuscan olive oil. It's a win-win for your face and body!  I both eat AND slather myself with his oils daily.  I'm 53 and friends tell me that I look years younger!

So, if you're looking for a new moisturizer and/or nourishing facial serum, then look no further.  You simply apply 4-8 drops into your palm, rub palms together, then gently massage (using upward and outward strokes) into your clean, damp chest, neck, and face every morning and evening.  That's it!  OLIVE ESSENTIALS Facial Oils No. 1 & No. 2 are ultra-pure and guaranteed to contain no synthetic fragrances, silicones, mineral oils, parabens, GMO ingredients, phthalates, propylene glycol, DEA, EDTA, acrylates, nano technology, BHT, or any other questionable ingredients.  And, positively no cruel animal testing!  Additionally, I've included organic and wildcrafted essential oils into these formulations.  Here's a breakdown of the products and their ingredients:

1.  OLIVE ESSENTIALS Facial Oil No. 1: This rejuvenative, gentle, protective, skin-nourishing treatment oil, when used consistently, will seal in moisture and balance and tone most skin types, including combination, normal, dry, and mature.  An especially soothing herbal remedy for inflamed, chapped, cracked, and environmentally-damaged skin.  Contains antiseptic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, vulnerary (tissue healing), emotionally uplifting, and anti-anxiety properties - a truly multi-purpose oil blend.  Does wonders for skin suffering from acne, too, as it helps rid the skin of nasty, subsurface bacteria.

2.  OLIVE ESSENTIALS Facial Oil No. 2: With consistent use, this highly emollient, luxurious formulation will seal in moisture - deep within the tissues - and is recommended for normal-to-dry and very dry skin, helping to reduce the appearance of visible fine lines and wrinkles, plus it helps to prevent and/or delay the onset of future wrinkles.  Revitalizes, tones, and tightens environmentally damaged, lackluster, and mature skin.  Softens and retexturizes scar tissue.  Gentle and calming, beneficial for reactive, sensitive, and couperose skin conditions, too.
