Labor Day weekend fun with Gourmé Mist Olive Oil!

We all know that olive oil has many health benefits and has been known to keep your immune system in top shape but did you know there are many other clever ways to make use of this wonderful ingredient? There are tons of nutritious recipes using olive oil as their healthy compliment, but here at Gourmé Mist, we have discovered several unique ways to add olive oil to your beauty regime.

Olive oil skin care is a natural way to pursue healthy, radiant skin.

Keep your skin hydrated and moisturized by mixing 2 parts Gourmé Mist olive oil, 1 part lavender oil. It is great for your skin, fights wrinkles, and the fragrance is calming. Store your mixture in the refrigerator to keep from getting rancid between uses.

Olive Oil Bath Treatment

Take a relaxing bath, add a couple tablespoons of Gourmé Mist olive oil, and indulge! Afterwards, dry off and take a step further by rubbing a drop of olive oil into trouble areas like knees, elbows, feet, and cuticles. The skin will regain its natural oil balance.

Soft Silky Leave-in Hair Conditioner

We have found that pricey hair moisturizing masks can’t compete with the benefits of olive oil. Spray a generous amount Gourmé Mist olive oil into a small bowl. Microwave the bowl of olive oil for 10 to 15 seconds. Next, spread olive oil evenly through through the hair from root to end. Let hair condition for approximately 20 minutes. Hop in the shower, shampoo, rinse and enjoy softer, healthier hair!

Home Made Night Cream

Mix 2 spritz of Gourmé Mist olive oil with one part vinegar to make a homemade night cream. The olive oil will soften and moisturize while the vinegar will lighten skin discoloration and exfoliate.

Hand Exfoliant

A great way to exfoliate hands and feet is to mix sugar and Gourmé Mist olive oil. Rub the mixture in a circular motion for several minutes and wash off.

Stubble free with Olive Oil

Find yourself out of shaving cream? Olive oil makes a great substitute! Because it is a natural lubricant, the razor will simply glide over the skin. Over time you may even notice your hair growing at a slower pace and often much less irritating razor burn.

These tips should give your skin a natural healthy glow, and now here are a recipe to use any Gourmé Mist olive oil you have to spare!

1-cup fresh orange juice

1-teaspoon fine salt

1/2-teaspoon baking soda

1/2-teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil 2 (10-inch) round cake pans.

In a nonreactive saucepan, reduce the orange juice over medium heat to 1/4 cup. Add salt, stir, and let cool.

Lightly beat eggs with paddle attachment in standing mixer on high for 1 minute until frothy. Add milk, sugar, liqueur, Gourmé Mist olive oil, reduced orange juice, lemon zest, anise and 1 teaspoon rosemary. Mix for 1 minute until well blended. Mix in the flour, baking soda and baking powder until well blended and smooth.

Pour half of the mixture into each oiled cake pan. Bake for 1 hour. Place on a rack to cool. Run a knife around the edges and place it on a plate.
