Skin Care Tip: Castor oil for dry skin

submitted by Chitra Iyengar, Divya, India

I have an extremely dry skin. I have tried all types of lotions and creams with not much result. Slowly I changed to oils from lotion. I formed the habit of applying olive or almond oil overnight. In the morning, at least the face would not feel dry. But the moment I wash my face, the skin would feel very tight and lifeless.

One day I happened to apply castor oil. Not on any one's recommendation. The oil just happened to be at home. I kept it for a few hours. When I washed my face, it felt great. Skin was not tight or pulled also the forehead looked smooth.

I think castor oil being really viscous deep moisturized the face. A good idea may be to splash water first. Just dab with a towel and put castor oil for a few hours. The effect is really good. Even when u wash your face with a face wash the skin does not look dry.

I happened to know the benefits of castor oil by chance. Since then I religiously use only castor oil.
