I get dressed the night with two drops of ... “Olive oil and Bergamot”

Marilyn Monroe, symbol of beauty and femininity used to say: “The night I dress with two drops of Chanel No. 5”. Well, we're both blondes and female, but I love the night by far dressed with olive oil and Bergamot. That said, far be it from me to compare myself to this timeless icon of cinema. I just wanted to follow on from this his way of saying to tell you the way I greet the day and night to accompany me.

For years, I now use the extra virgin olive oil to keep the skin soft and supple. I learned how to do it thanks to a doctor who advised me during my pregnancy. I was very young and inexperienced. When I asked him what I could use to avoid the formation of fissures decided he told me: “Cynthia, nothing creams, only use a good olive oil smearing on the skin daily."I have no fissures, maybe I was not prepared, or perhaps simply the many beneficial properties of olive oil and the consistency in using it have prevented the.

Lately I have discovered a truly special, Oil EVO with Bergamot that dear friend Alessandra Paolini produces in its Farm Doria, in the province of Cosenza. An oil scents very special.

Did you know that Calabria boasts a growing Bergamot from the mid- 1700? Just so, but not only because the world is also the largest producer of this citrus DOP 2001, whose essential oils are used in the production of perfumes.

A perfect blend for healthy skin used since ancient times. The olive oil in fact, due to its content of Vitamins E, Vitamin-A, beta-carotene and other beneficial substances, fights free radicals slowing the aging of tissues. In addition it is a natural product of our agriculture that makes great Italy in World, better than that! 😉

Nature cure!
