Greek women are blessed with Mediterranean skin, which is bright, but has enough melanin to provide protection from harmful UV rays. Mediterranean diet certainly helps them. This diet is rich in fruits, vegetables and olive oil, and that means with omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins. Instead of sunflower oil, include olive oil on your menu, which can be also used for nurturing the skin from outside. In one tablespoon of olive oil, add three tablespoons of brown sugar and gently rub it on your clean face. This way you will remove the layer of dead skin cells and reveal fresh, bright and sensitive skin that will be nourished with olive oil. Olive oil can also be an alternative to cleansing milk: it will remove and the last bit of impurity from your face.

You can calm acne-covered or sun-damaged face with creams that contain extract of this plant.
