Castor Oil addiction

Tiger_greeneyes

I've recently become addicted to castor oil as a beauty treatment for just about everything, has anyone else been experimenting with it? I use it at night after cleansing and moisturising my face, I rub it in my belly button, on my husband's bald head (he shaves it twice a week and his skin feels tight), on my nails and toenails, my eyelashes and eyebrows, backs of my hands, on rough moles (Seborrhoeic keratosis) and rough skin, cracked heels, as a lip oil and lip gloss - it does everything. I'd be interested to hear what else everyone is using it for, how you apply it etc.

My skin is glowing and my wrinkles look a lot softer (I'm 57), it's even got the accolade of being called 'nature's botox' by some in the online beauty community.

The best oil to go for is in a glass bottle, is cold pressed, organic and hexane free. I bought a 250ml replacement bottle on Amazon for £7.46 yesterday, free postage as I have Amazon Prime. A 250ml bottle lasts me around four months and I don't hold back with it.

Fushi Castor Oil on Amazon - any brand will be fine so long as the four rules above are followed.

Hiya, yes I am, religiously so. I haven't used it as an oil pack but my husband has a cyst he's using an oil pack for, early days so fingers crossed it will help break it down. I use it on my lips, my naval and pat whatever is left onto my face at night. I'm 58 on Sunday and my skin has transformed from when I first started to use it. Are you using it?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is an oil pack?

It's a piece of cloth you fold a few times, pour oil onto it and keep it pressed onto the body part for a period of time. The warmth created helps the oil to penetrate deeper.
