Move over, coconut oil!

You have to love a product that does everything.

As well as being one of our favourite actors, Drew Barrymore is a self-confessed beauty obsessive.

The makeup mogul (she runs her own cosmetics brand Flower Beauty, don’t ya know) often shares her must-have products with her followers.

Among the items she has recommended was something that costs less than a fiver and that you probably have sitting next to your cooker at home right now.

She lauded olive oil as “a true beauty phenomenon from nature.”

“(It) helps nails and cuticles, soothes dry skin, removes make up, acts as a moisturizer, helps scrapes and cuts, nourishes hair, lip scrub with sugar, can shave with it, and it’s delicious. So go for it!,” she raved.

Given how popular (and brilliant) coconut oil has been over the past few years, could olive oil be the next kitchen cupboard staple to become a beauty hit?

We wouldn’t be surprised!
