Castor oil is a highly effective moisturiser, especially for dry skin that’s prone to flaky patches. The high concentration of fatty acids means its guaranteed to give you a youthful, healthy glow, while also assisting the production of elastin and collagen, which fights early signs of ageing.
It’s a great moisturiser that visibly reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Additionally, we recommend using it to soothe those nasty razor burns and even as a cleanser. Read on for tips on how and when to apply castor oil for smooth, soft skin.
When to use.
When applying to the face, castor oil can be used everyday . A little goes a long way, so apply a very small amount of the oil to the skin and massage gently. It absorbs quickly, which means you don’t have to worry about feeling greasy and your pores won’t get clogged. When using castor oil as a cleanser, we might suggest diluting it with another oil, such as virgin olive oil, given how thick its consistency is.
How to Remove the Oil When Using as a Cleanser
Once the mix of oils has been massaged onto the skin, simply lay a hot washcloth over your face. Let it cools, and then repeat. The steam should clear any impurities from the pores. Carefully wipe away the excess oil.
