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.
