Pleasures to cultivate
Cleopatra used to prepare with a drizzle of oil a creamy mask to cover her hair. Hippocrates recommended to use a compress of macerated olives to cure the skin ulcers. The ancient Romans used to bring along to the baths a cruet of oil to clean their body as a youth bath. From the old ages to now, the olive oil properties are not changed since they have been rediscovered by the natural cosmetics and exploited in the wealth centres. Also the very beautiful actress Sofia Loren has confessed that sometimes she doesn’t disdain a bath in the so called “liquid gold”. Olive oil used as a youth elixir in many Spa and beauty farms located in lands, particularly right for the olive culture, Puglia in the lead (but also Umbria and Toscana), where several treatments and massages extra virgin olive oil-based take off. An example is the Relais La Fontanina in CeglieMessapica (Brindisi, ph.+39.0831.380932; www.lafontanina.it), its strong point is the ”olive oil wrapping up with flakes of natural sea salt” a body treatment strongly nourishing and moisturizing, suitable to all kind of skin and in particular for the ones basically dry or spoiled. It is well known that the olive oil, like all the vegetal oils, is rich of essential fatty acids, useful for the health and the beauty of our skin. The cell membranes, in fact, are basically made of “essential fatty acids” that the organism is not able to produce them by itself: they can be found only in the vegetal oils squeezed coldly and thy are fundamental for the cell regeneration and to prevent wrinkles and skin ageing. Apart from oil, this treatment has another important element for the beauty and the health; the sea salt. The body is peeled with flakes of natural marine salt. It smoothes the skin eliminating the flaking superficial cells, draining and eliminating the toxins, since one of the main characteristics of the salt is to attract liquids and dampness in excess, all this, is a kind of panacea for the organism. In this way the skin is “freed” by impurities, the liquids in excess are eliminated thanks to the salt and the steam bath and, in the same time thanks to an osmotic effect, the fatty acids contained in the oil feed and regenerate the cell membranes. The result is a bright look thanks to the essential oils mixed in the olive oil, in particular the lemon essential oil, having a disinfecting, deodorant and an astringent action, is really important to re-balance the wrinkled skin and it is a great allied to prevent the signs of the time.
