Olive oil is one of the most popular ingredients in cooking, but if you鈥檝e never used it for beauty, you鈥檙e in for a treat. Believe it or not, Rachel Ray鈥檚 pet ingredient is not only a necessity in any pasta dish, but also great for your nails, lips, hair, and skin. Why? Olive oil is rich in squalane, a natural emollient that penetrates skin without leaving a greasy film behind. Beyond that, it鈥檚 packed with Vitamins A %26amp; E and a number of polyphenols that already make it a popular inclusion in beauty products. Check out the below list for 15 inventive ways to get gorgeous Italian-style:

2. Bad sunburn? Mix olive oil with white vinegar and apply before a warm bath to soothe and heal the burn.


3. Banish frizzy hair by putting a couple of drops of olive oil in dry hair.


4. Smooth generously onto hands before bed, put on white cotton gloves, and wake up with soft, youthful hands.


5. Dandruff issues? Mix olive oil with almond oil and leave on scalp for five minutes. (If it starts to burn, rinse it out.) Rinse well to clear hair of dandruff.


6. Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to your bath to calm red, irritated skin.


7. Soothe chapped lips by smoothing on some olive oil.


8. Olive oil makes a great anti-aging moisturizer, since it contains polyphenol hydroxytyrosol, an antioxidant that helps to hold cell walls intact and thus reduce the signs of aging.


9. Apply a little olive oil to a Q-tip and use it as a makeup remover. (Yes, that鈥檚 why the store-bought kind is often so oily!)


10. Soak thin, brittle nails and ragged cuticles in a small cup of olive oil to soften, smooth and strengthen them.


11. Massage olive oil into your hair, then leave hair covered with a shower cap for 30 minutes. Shampoo and discover softer, more lustrous hair with fewer split ends.

13. Slather on olive oil before braving the sun 鈥?it鈥檚 rich in Vitamins A and E, keeping skin from drying out in the heat while protecting you from UV rays.


14. Rub on elbows and knees for intense moisturizing. (My elbows are actually soft now 鈥?I鈥檓 not kidding.)


15. For stained nails and fingers, simply add a few drops of lemon juice to olive oil and soak your fingers in it.Different uses for olive oil?
