Olive-oil

Olive oil: Pure olive oil can be used both for the skin and hair and hence can be used to massage a baby's tender skin. If you have dry skin or have a flaky and sensitive skin, olive oil can have a healing effect. However, it should not be used on oily, acne-prone skin. As it helps to restore the normal acid-alkaline balance of the scalp, it can be useful for oily hair with dandruff. Also Read - 7 daily foot care habits people with diabetes should follow to prevent infections
