Can Olive Or Canola Oil Improve Skin Complexion?

will olive oil and/or canola oil change the color of my skin and eyebrow hair? I'm trying to grow them back after getting them waxed for the first time because the lady waxed my brows way too thin and lopsided. how long should it take to grow them back? I am 16 and before the wax my eyebrows were thick and dark

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Olive oil is seen helpful in improving hair growth and thickness in hair as it has high nutritional value but as you already had thick and dark eyebrows you need not to worry as your eyebrows will grow back gradually as human body hairs have tendency to grow back after shaving, threading/waxing etc..
Although you can gently massage your eyebrows with olive oil as it will help in growing them back..
It can take 2 to 3 months for then to grow back completely as well they can grow back even earlier..
I would suggest you to relax as the hairs will grow back..
For improving skin complexion you should wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
You can apply creams conatining Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
You can also apply Vitamin E gel at night..
Exfoliate your face twice a week with a scrub..
In case of no improvement in 2 months consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated..



Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
