The Health Benefits Of Oliveology!

This natural, anti-inflammatory (& edible) ingredient will give you glowing skin in 2019

While your skin prepares for the return of the Beast from the East, prep it with one key ingredient: olive oil.

A tablespoon or two of olive oil in your diet, a natural anti-inflammatory product, brings many benefits; it moisturises your skin from the inside-out, and contains lots of vitamins and antioxidants, such as vitamin E, chlorophyll and oleic acid.

The oil also encourages skin cell renewal – making your skin glow and look younger.

But, don’t just slather your face in Sainsbury’s finest. There are lots of brands that specialise in all-natural products made from olive oil, such as Oliveology – a family-run brand that has a range of products to choose from, all made from ingredients from Greece, such as pure olea europaea oil.There’s also a special beauty range including olive oil and walnut soap, raw propolis (chewable bee products) and anti-biotic, anti-fungal oregano oil.

Marianna, owner of Oliveology, said: “The traditional Greek diet (based on olive oil and olives, fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, and herbs) is considered one of the healthiest in the world. We use Koroneiki olives in our oil – when they’re beautifully green and un-ripe – because these have been proved to have the highest levels of antioxidants and polyphenols, essential in boosting the immune system, and in turn, giving you gorgeous silky-smooth and glowing skin.

“Take it from a Greek woman, add a bit of olive oil to your daily diet in the new year – you’ll never regret it.”
