Olive oil is one of the most mainstream natural products because it is known to have a very high nutritional value since its discovery thousands of years ago. Olive oil benefits are derived from the crop of the olive tree, a native of the Mediterranean Basin.

 The Ancient Olive Oil Applications

 For thousands of years, olive oil has been used as a home remedy for skin care. Here are some ancient uses of olive oil:

* Egyptians used it with beeswax as a cleanser, moisturizer, and an antibacterial.
* In Ancient Greece, olive oil was used for a massage — they used olive oil to prevent sports injuries, relieve muscle strain and fatigue, and eliminate lactic acid buildup.
* Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans didn’t have soap back in the day, so they applied olive oil to their skin and scraped off the dirt afterward.
