Sadly, wrinkles are the first sign shown by our skin that we are ageing. At times, you might not notice those fine lines around your eyes, neck, near lips even though you’re young. Well, often these lines become wrinkles as we age. However, prevention is always better than cure and that’s the reason we are here to show you how we can prevent those wrinkles using olive oil.
Olive oil is rich in fatty acids and incredibly beneficial for our skin. The polyphenols and oleic acid in olive oil possess anti ageing properties that helps to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and contribute to smoothening the existing wrinkles.
