Olive oil is an amazing natural moisturizer with vitamins and antioxidants that hydrate and nourish our skin. Extra virgin olive oil contains more nutrients, so its benefits to our skin are better than olive oil.

Here are a few tips on using EVOO as a moisturizer:
|
|
|
|
Apply EVOO to slightly damp skin to help lock in the moisture.
|
|
|
|
Only use a few drops! Skin will feel greasy if too much EVOO is applied.
|
|
|
|
Massage into your skin using circular motions.
|
|
|
|
For deep hydration, apply before bed and wake up to soft, glowing skin!
|
|
|
|
EVOO gently dissolves makeup too – rinse with warm water after removing make up. Your skin will feel so soft!

Check out the secret garden of mystery and beauty!
|
Giardino di Ninfa (Garden of the Nymphs) is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, located in Cisterna di Latina, about 70 km south of Rome. It stands on the ruins of the medieval town of Ninfa, founded in the 8th century and abandoned in the 14th century. Remnants of towers, churches, and bridges still rise among the greenery.
In the early 20th century, the Caetani family transformed the site into a romantic botanical garden, featuring streams, waterfalls, and over 1,300 species of rare plants from around the world.
To protect its delicate ecosystem, the garden is open to visitors only on select days — weekends from March 22 to November 9, as well as on April 25, May 1, and August 15.
