As I was surfin the web I read that applying castor oil to your face is a great way to reduce facial wrinkles. Really??? So I typed in castor oil and went to the wikipedia. Elsewhere, I typed in castor oil for wrinkles. I got educated!!!
Castor oil is used in a number of ways that I didn't know about. Always thought it was just used as a laxative. It can be, but that's not all it's used for. Castor Oil penetrates deep into the skin thanks to its molecular weight. Which is low enough to penetrate into the stratum corneum. Ricinokic Acid is the main component of castor oil and exerts anti-inflammatory effects.
Interesting to say the least.
Have any of you used castor oil on your face? If you have would you mind sharing your opinion about it and if you liked the results?
Hope to hear from you. I'm interested in natural remedies.
Spring cleaning will begin just any day now. This past week-end, I saw colorful festive yellow flowers popping up in Saint Louis. This was refreshing and much needed. My winter has been along one.
Needing Spring. Truly.

Hi Deanna,
I have never used castor oil, but I guess it would probably work well.
Glad that you have some yellow flowers coming up and I hope that Spring will be there soon.

Interesting, never knew that. We do use castor oil for sunburn; it soothes and helps the skin heal. Love blogshire, it is so educational. Darling Deanna, hope life is treating you marvellously and how is your precious grandchild doing? Growing beautifully and fast, I bet. I cannot wait to be a grandma myself, must be magical. Thanks for visiting me darling and for all the kind comments my friend. Take care and have a week full of blessings.
Love & Hugs

I use castor oil on my face and have for 15 years. I love it. I have great skin which I truly believe is partially genetic and partially because of the oil.
Thank you for stopping by D. I so hope when my website is back up and running you will come visit and leave your name.
Thank you for blessing me today.
Love, Rebecca
I have never heard this but I would be willing to try it!

I so enjoy hearing from you!
I think I just might give castor oil a try. Will have to pick some up when I go shopping next.

Very interesting about the castor oil. I will have to check it out. I bet it's cheaper than most of the stuff we buy. That's a big incentive to me.
I haven't tried castor oil, but it sounds interesting.
FYI: I just posted a blog post of a list of other home remedies on my blog!
Happy Spring Cleaning!
Hello D....
About the Castor Oil...
I only use a tiny bit...less than a dime size in my hand...maybe half of that. I put it on my face and neck at nite and sometimes I mix in a little vitamin E oil with it. I taught myself to sleep on my back ONLY several years ago because I didn't like the creases my pillow made on my face or my chest. :( Plus, it keeps the oil off my pillowcase. I use witch hazel in the AM after cleansing my skin because if you don't the oil residue will cause your makeup to slide right off your skin!
I hope this helps! I LOVE IT!
