1. Castor Oil to Nourish Aged Skin

Although your skin can do a good job of taking care of itself, sometimes it will need a little help from you. This is true when it comes to nourishment. When your skin is nourished, it is less prone to skin issues such as dryness, lines, wrinkles, age spots, et cetera. On that note, castor oil can be a fantastic natural ingredient to nourish your skin because it is composed of a lot of fatty acids, such as ricinoleic acid and linoleic acid. Castor oil is also capable of deeply penetrating your skin so you don’t have to worry about using a lot of it for it to be effective. If you have dry skin, castor oil may be just what you need to keep your skin soft and supple.

3. Castor Oil Paste to Promote Collagen & Elastin Production

Because of castor oil’s deeply penetrative nature and its fatty acids, it is also thought to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. These two proteins are responsible for keeping your skin youthful, taut, and elastic. Your collagen and elastin will naturally degrade over time so you should use castor oil if you want to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and delay the aging process.

4. Castor Oil Paste to Reduce Lines & Wrinkles Caused by Inflammation

Premature aging and inflammation have long been linked. Inflammation can cause the collagen in your skin to break down, which can lead to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Even though there are many causes of inflammation - for example, free radicals, poor diet, and stress - you can easily reduce the effects of inflammation in your skin by using castor oil. Castor oil is rich in compounds such as fatty acids and antioxidants that can soothe your skin and rejuvenate it.

Do not apply this paste close to the eye area. Also, if your skin is sensitive, wash the paste off if you feel a tingling sensation.

6. Lemon Juice & Castor Oil Remedy to Brighten Up & Rejuvenate Your Skin

If you have wrinkles and you have dull skin, castor oil and lemon juice may be the perfect remedy for you. Lemon juice contains both Vitamin C and citric acid, two compounds that can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and brighten up your skin too. Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant while citric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates your skin. You should be warned, though, that undiluted, pure lemon juice may irritate your skin and make the quality of your skin worse. Thus, before you use lemon juice, you can dilute it with water, a castor oil remedy, et cetera.

Ingredients

8 drops of lemon juice

8 drops of castor oil

1 tbsp. of banana
