Black olives are rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish, hydrate and protect, than do so much more than just taste good!

Fat-soluble vitamin E is among the vitamins in olives. This vitamin is an antioxidant, helping protect cells from damage. It's also vital for the creation of red blood cells.

Vitamin E whether applied topically or ingested, has been shown to protect skin from ultraviolet radiation, thus guarding against skin cancer and premature aging.

You can gain a healthy, glowing complexion by washing your face in warm water, applying a few drops of olive oil to vulnerable spots, and letting it work its magic for 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

In fact, you can moisturize with olive oil before any bath, and even condition your hair with it by mixing it with an egg yolk and leaving it before rinsing and washing.
