4. Use olive oil on your feet with clean white cotton socks. Helps to soften up you feet and it absorbs better than baby oil.

5. It seems when you pour olive oil out there is always a drip, so wipe it up with your hand and rub it in to your elbows. Wonderful softening properties.

6. Use olive oil as bath oil. Two to three tablespoons will do trick.

7. Use olive oil for your hair. Not only does it condition, but it also gets rid of frizz. Put a small drop into your palm & then rub both hands together & apply it to dry hair.

Just a few of many creative uses for olive oil in your skin care routine. Not only is it cheap, but it will go alot further than most products you can buy. Have fun and be creative.

There is one area that I have to say that salon products are better and that is COLOR. The reason I say that is, professional products are formulated under strict guidelines in industry to insure that salon professionals will achieve same color results every time. The colors you can buy over counter are not as regulated and can truly vary from bottle to bottle. How many times have you bought same home color and gotten a different result almost every time?

If you have your hair colored professionally and would like to do it at home, you might consider talking to your stylist about it. They might be willing to send you home with your color and specific instructions on how to use it. I've done this for many of my clients and truly don't mind doing it. I would rather my clients have what they are used to and be satisfied with their result than have them buy a product off shelf and call me next day saying they have pink or bright orange hair.

Use your best judgement regarding your hair products and use what you like and what works best for you.
