Castor oil – a panacea for skin, hair and nail problems

Proven content

Castor oil was an essential cosmetic used by our grandmothers for body care. Today, replaced by hundreds of different specifics, it has been somewhat forgotten. It’s time to come back to it. Why? What are its properties?

Castor oil – application

Castor oil is best known for its cosmetic use. But it is also suitable as an agent used internally to treat constipation. Castor oil reviews commonly have a laxative that should not be taken by mouth as it will cause intestinal problems.

The oil stimulates the enzymes in the pancreas and turns castor oil into sodium and potassium soaps. In turn, these soaps irritate the intestines and increase their peristalsis, which has a laxative effect. Keep in mind that this is a reliever measure and not a long-term treatment for constipation. It is enough to give 1-2 tablespoons of castor oil to induce a laxative effect.

Externally, compresses made of castor oil can also treat headaches, backaches and even stomachaches. You will need heated castor oil and a gauze or thin towel soaked in warm oil. Such a compress should be applied to a sore spot, e.g. sinuses, cross and left until it cools down.

The benefits of castor oil

It is a natural product of plant origin. It is extruded from the seeds castor bean, a plant that is often grown in our gardens (in the wild, it grows in Africa and India). The most important benefits of castor oil are:

1. anti-inflammatory effect,
2. antibacterial effect,
3. moisturizing properties.

For these reasons, it is used in the production of cosmetics, soaps, massage oils and medicines. Pure oil is also used for skin, hair and nail care. It has a thick consistency, so it should be used in very small amounts, especially when applied to the skin, as it can clog pores.

Castor oil for skin

Due to its antibacterial and moisturizing properties, castor oil is an excellent product for skin ailments such as:

1. Sun burns,
2. acne,
3. fungal and yeast infections,
4. warts,
5. boils.

How to use the oil? You should wash the affected areas of the skin with a cotton swab soaked in the oil. Then, after an hour, wash the skin with water. It is worth using the oil in the morning and in the evening to speed up the healing process of the skin. In the case of large changes, e.g. severe acne, it is worth leaving the oil on the skin overnight.

Thanks to the presence of fatty acids, castor oil brings satisfactory results in eliminating scars and stretch marks. The treatment must be long-term. However, acids penetrate deeply into the skin and stimulate the growth of healthy tissue. For this reason, it is also worth using it on scratches and cuts.

Castor oil prolongs the youth of the skin. It softens and moisturizes it, and deeply penetrates it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. As a result, it delays the appearance of wrinkles and reduces the existing expression lines and furrows.

Castor oil for eyelashes

A lot of people use castor oil as a conditioner for eyelash growth instead of the popular, but expensive bimatoprost, because the effects of such treatment are similar, and castor oil has the opinion of a healthier and safer agent than the aforementioned drug.

Castor oil for the face

In addition to caring for hair and bulbs, castor oil is also great for cleansing the face. You can use it to wash the skin in the morning and evening, and even remove makeup because the oil itself removes fats, e.g. sebum, but also silicones that cannot be washed off with water, which are currently contained in many make-up cosmetics. However, it is worth mixing castor oil with another oil, e.g. linseed or grape seed oil, and only use this mixture to wash your face. Washing off the castor oil is simple as well, as all you need to do is place a towel soaked in warm water and the oil will come off with the collected debris.

Castor oil, pressed from the seeds of castor bean, works perfectly against stains and discoloration on the face. For people with such problems, it is recommended to apply oil to darker areas of the skin twice a day. For better results of lightening discoloration, you can add squeezed lemon juice to the oil.

The action of the oil is very gentle, it does not affect the natural lipid layer of the epidermis, so our skin is not exposed to the harmful effects of the sun or wind. Due to the fact that castor oil is very delicate, it can also be used by people with very sensitive skin prone to various types of irritation.

Castor oil for nails

When nails break, split, are damaged by products used in manicure, castor oil comes to the rescue.

Nails moistened in this way will become stronger after a while and take on a healthy color.
