Hi guys! Today we want to talk to you about one of the most useful natural products our planet has to offer. Yes, we are talking of Castor Oil. It's well known that this product has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It's always been used for its health benefits, such as treating gastrointestinal problems and not only, but maybe not everyone knows that castor oil can be our best allay in our beauty routine.
In fact, you can use it in your everyday life for its skin and hair benefits too. Are you ready?
Let's find out together its properties and beauty uses
important: make sure that your castor oil is 100% organic, cold-pressed/processed when you buy it!
skin benefits
- heals inflamed skin
For its healing properties, Castor Oil can be used to heal skin inflammation. You just need to apply a cotton ball soaked in castor oil to the skin area that is affected and wash it off after one hour.
- reduces acne
As we've said, Castor oil is known for its antibacterial properties. In particular, it contains Ricinoleic acid that fights off the acne-causing bacteria. If you suffer from acne, you might want to try this natural remedy. Try massaging your face with the oil before going to bed, then wash it off the next morning with cold water.
- moisturizes skin
You can use it to make your skin smoother, too. In fact, Castor Oil is one of the best natural skin moisturizer: it penetrates the skin layers leaving it hydrated, smoother and revitalized. You just need a few drops of it to massage your skin using circular motions.
hair benefits
- conditions hair
If you have dry or damaged hair, you might want to use Castor Oil next time you wash your hair. You just need to add a teaspoon of it to your favorite conditioner and use it after shampoo as always.
- promotes hair grow
It's common knowledge that massaging your scalp with castor oil leads to faster hair growth. And not only that: it's used also for natural eyelashes and eyebrows grow. Next week we'll write an article to tell you how we achieved thicker and healthier eyebrows and we'll start a new challenge too: we'll try to use castor oil to achieve fuller and longer eyelashes! We can't wait! Stay tuned!
