Olive It Here! | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Olive It Here!

Stacey Sobelman

 

You have not had a facial until you've had an olive oil facial.

Today, we got a chance to visit an olive oil factory and not only sampled delicious flavored oils, but we also got a chance to try cosmetics made from olive oil.

The oil face mask looked disgusting, but its texture was wonderful against my skin. Some of us held back and only used the scrub on their hands, but many of us were adventurous enough to try it on our faces.

My skin has never felt smoother. Jordan was "deputized" by the cosmetics lady and the two of them gave us plenty to sample.

It was really interesting to see the many many uses for the olives that Israel is so well known for. Well, besides eating them of course!
