For many of us, winter is a season of dry, tight, and itchy skin. Spending time inside in overheated and dry interior spaces interspersed with time outside in the freezing cold and wind is a recipe for thirsty skin. We often think of applying lotions, oils, and creams topically to our skin, but did you know what you eat can also help provide relief? Adding olive oil to your diet has a number of potential skin benefits, including moisturizing and protecting your skin from the ravages of winter. The monounsaturated fats and antioxidants found in olive oil can help strengthen the skin's barrier function, keeping the skin hydrated and preventing dryness. The best type of olive oil for the skin is extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). EVOO is the highest quality and purest form of olive oil, made from the first cold-pressing of the olives. It contains the highest levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and monounsaturated fats. Be sure to check the expiration dates on your EVOOs and store them in a cool and dark place to maintain freshness and nutritional value. The amount of olive oil that one should ingest per day to help with dry skin will vary depending on the individual's dietary needs and overall health. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to consume up to two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day. It's important to note that, even though olive oil is beneficial for the skin, it's not a replacement for using a good moisturizer. Instead, try combining the use of olive oil with a good moisturizer to lock in the moisture and keep the skin hydrated during the winter months.
