Extra Virgin Olive Oil (& A Quick DIY Makeup Remover)

What is Extra Virgin Olive Oil? 

 Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the highest quality and most expensive olive oil classification. It has no defects and taste like fresh olives.


In order for an oil to qualify as 'Extra Virgin' the oil must also pass both an official chemical test in a laboratory and a sensory evaluation by a trained tasting panel recognized by the International Olive Council. The olive oil must be found to be free from detects while exhibiting some fruitiness.

Aside from cooking or making a salad, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is also known as really effective natural beauty regimen.

A Quick DIY Eye Makeup Remover

 You'll need:

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Water
  • Small bottle container


Step by Step:

  • Fill the container with 75% water and 25% EVOO
  • To use it simply shake it up and pour it onto a cotton ball/pad
Not only it removes your eye makeup, it's also moisturize your delicate eye area!


4 Other Ways To Use EVOO for Your Beauty Regimen:

  • As a lip scrub: Mix 2 Tsp of Sugar with 1 Tsp of Evoo and scrub it all over your lips and rinse with warm water using a wash cloth
  • As an all over body&face scrub: Mix 1 Cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of EVOO and 2 Tbsp of honey. Your skin will feel so soft and glowing.
  • As a deep conditioner: Mix 2 Tbsp of your conditioner and 1 Tsp of EVOO. Do it once a week for a super soft and frizz free hair.
  • As a hair care: Warm up 1/3 cup of EVOO and apply it on your scalp (or all over your hair if you have frizzy hair) and say hi to healthy scalp and soft roots. Doing this frequently will get rid of dandruff and repair damaged hair.

    Thank you so much for this tip. Some times when I run out of make up remover, I use my toner but its not very gentle and definitely not safe for the eye area.

    I will try this soon. I always have extra virgin olive oil at home.

      You're welcome! And don't ever use toner on your eyes, especially if it contains alcohol in it because your eye area is very delicate :)

    I love DIY beauty posts! I usually find make-up remover too harsh on my skin so this sounds perfect for me.

    I wear eye makeup almost every day and go through a lot of eye make up remover. I've gotta try the olive oil instead! Thanks for suggesting it!
