It is easy to forget about your eye area when you have other, more pressing skin issues: acne, discoloration, dark spots, et cetera. However, you should always pay attention to your area. The lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet around your eye area may look small, but they can make your overall complexion look a lot more aged than it should be, especially if you have lines and wrinkles around your face. Your eye area should be as stunning and ageless as the rest of your face.
Your eye area is delicate, so you can’t use any natural ingredient or home remedy on your skin and expect a positive result. If you’re not careful, your eye area could be irritated and those lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet may start to look worse. That being said, castor oil is a fantastic natural ingredient to use. It can diminish those lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet around your eye area without irritating it. Here are 3 castor oil-based home remedies you should use so that your eye area looks more stunning and youthful. Castor oil is a beautiful Ayurvedic natural ingredient to use on your skin, your eye area included.
1. Castor Oil Home Remedy to Minimize Fine Lines & Crow’s Feet
Lines and wrinkles may develop around your eye area for any number of reasons. Though skin aging is a common one, those lines and wrinkles around your eye area may also be a result of free radical damage, sun exposure, pollution, et cetera, especially if those signs of aging are premature. Castor oil can be used to fight those fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet because it is anti-inflammatory and rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. This means that castor oil can smoothen the area around your eyes, nourish your skin, minimize free radical damage, and diminish those lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet in the process. Over time, your eye area may start to look softer and your crow’s feet might disappear completely. However, if you plan on using castor oil on your eye area, try not to get it in your eyes in order to avoid any unnecessary irritation.
