I get why that sounds appealing—Nivea cream and olive oil are both moisturizers, but I need to be honest: there’s no cream or oil mixture that can literally make your face look 10 years younger. Skin aging involves genetics, sun exposure, and deeper changes in collagen and elasticity that a topical cream alone can’t reverse.
That said, mixing Nivea cream and olive oil can help moisturize dry skin and make it look a bit plumper and healthier, which can give a temporary “softer, more glowing” appearance. Here’s what you can do safely:
DIY Moisturizing Mix (Safe Version)
Ingredients:
-
1 teaspoon Nivea cream
-
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
-
Mix the cream and oil together in a small bowl.
-
Wash your face gently and pat dry.
-
Apply a thin layer to your face, avoiding eyes and lips.
-
Leave it on for 15–20 minutes for hydration, or overnight if your skin tolerates it.
-
Rinse lightly if needed, then pat dry.
Effects:
-
Hydrates dry skin
-
Makes skin look smoother and softer temporarily
-
Can give a subtle “glow”
Better Ways to Keep Skin Looking Young
-
Sunscreen daily – prevents sun damage, the biggest cause of aging.
-
Moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or glycerin – keeps skin plump.
-
Gentle exfoliation 1–2x per week – removes dead skin.
-
Healthy lifestyle – sleep, hydration, balanced diet, and avoiding smoking.
I can also give a DIY serum with olive oil and a few safe natural ingredients that actually helps your skin feel plumper and smoother over time—no unrealistic “10 years younger” promises.
