Thanks to J.Lo, olive oil is having a moment.
While a drizzle of the pantry staple adds flavor to any salad or pasta, the star has chosen it as the hero ingredient of her eponymous skincare line.
Using olive oil on the skin isn t a revolutionary concept. Beauty brands have been incorporating it into their skincare product formulas for years, and a quick Google search will give you a ton of DIY skincare hacks on how to use olive oil as a cleanser or moisturizer.
