What Is Castor Oil?<\/h5>\n

Castor oil is a light yellow oil that comes from the castor bean in Africa, South America, and India (1). It\u2019s thicker than most oils and it doesn\u2019t have much of a scent, but it does have lots of properties that make it a great choice for your beauty and wellness rituals.<\/p>\n

Castor oil is antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory, which means it can keep acne-causing microbes and bacteria at bay while soothing inflammation (2). It\u2019s rich in ricinoleic acid, which may sound scary but it\u2019s really helpful in reducing acne-causing bacteria (2).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also got lots of healthy fatty acids that promote healthy tissue growth, and it has humectant properties that draw moisture into the skin (2). No matter your skin type, both the fatty acids and increased moisture are key for maintaining healthy, happy skin!<\/p>\n

Finally – and this is my favourite reason for using castor oil – it has a comedogenic score of one, which means it\u2019s very unlikely to clog your pores and cause blackheads (3).<\/p>\n

As you can see, castor oil is kind of a skin care powerhouse. It\u2019s great for all skin types, but especially for those with acne prone and irritated skin. Let\u2019s talk about how you can use it in your beauty and wellness rituals.<\/p>\n

Castor Oil for Skin<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Cleansing Oil<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The oil cleansing method<\/a> is a way of cleansing and moisturizing your skin in one step with just plant oils. This is why I started using castor oil, as it\u2019s often the foundational oil in do-it-yourself recipes.<\/p>\n

    Castor oil is great for this skin care ritual because it\u2019s inexpensive, it\u2019s got so many amazing properties, and it\u2019s going to help draw out impurities in the skin (mostly those pesky blackheads).<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Facial Oil<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you\u2019re not into using oils to cleanse your skin, you can still use castor oil as a facial oil! While I don\u2019t recommend using just castor oil as it\u2019s a bit thick and heavy, when mixed with rosehip<\/a> or argan oil it offers lots of benefits for all skin types. It will help to moisturize dry skin and reduce inflammation in sensitive skin, and the antibacterial benefits are amazing for acne prone skin.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Face Mask Ingredient<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In the oil cleansing method, you massage the oils into your skin to cleanse and remove impurities. But you can get the same effect by mixing castor oil with your clarifying clay masks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        I usually mix just a couple drops with some water and clay, as too much oil could create a weirdly textured mask!<\/p>\n

        \"how

        Castor oil is kind of a powerhouse with lots of properties that make it a great choice for your beauty and wellness rituals.<\/p><\/div>\n

        Castor Oil for Hair<\/h5>\n
          \n
        1. \n

          Scalp Oil<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Castor oil is well known for improving circulation, which makes it a great scalp oil. Increased blood flow and nutrients can speed up hair growth and improve your overall hair health while the antifungal and antibacterial properties are great for irritated, itchy scalps.<\/p>\n

          Simply massage a couple of teaspoons into damp hair. It\u2019s best to leave overnight (use a shower cap or towel to prevent the oil from staining your pillows) and remove with shampoo in the morning.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Hair Mask Ingredient<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you\u2019re nervous about using pure oil on your scalp (trust me, as someone with oily hair a scalp oil can be a little intimidating), you can add castor oil to your clay based hair mask.<\/p>\n

            I mix \u00bd cup bentonite clay<\/a>, \u00bd cup green tea, \u00bc cup apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon castor oil and apply to wet hair for thirty minutes. After rinsing the mask, I follow with shampoo and conditioner. The clay clarifies your scalp, the green tea provides antioxidants, the apple cider vinegar balances your scalp\u2019s pH, and the castor oil moisturizes and reduces inflammation.<\/p>\n

            Overall, you\u2019ll have softer, more manageable hair. I use this mask maybe twice a year when my hair just becomes too unruly and needs a little reset!<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              Moisturize Dry Ends<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              If your hair is on the drier side, you\u2019re probably familiar with using hair oils to moisturize your ends. This is new to me, but I find castor oil to be a great option as it\u2019s thicker than most oils, so it\u2019s not as messy.<\/p>\n

              Castor Oil for the Body<\/h5>\n
                \n
              1. \n

                Body Oil<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Bring all of the healing benefits of castor oil to your whole body with a do-it-yourself body oil. I love using olive and argan oils, but castor oil adds a bit of a thicker texture, it offers more emollient and humectant properties, and it\u2019s great for reducing the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

                I have dry, sensitive skin, so I mix about \u00be cup of olive oil with about \u00bc cup argan oil, around 3 tablespoons of castor oil, and about fifty drops of essential oil<\/a> (which is totally optional). If you prefer different oils, like coconut or rosehip, you can totally substitute those!<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. \n

                  Cuticle Oil<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  I love cuticle oils. They\u2019re such a simple way to make your nails look healthy. At night, after my skin care routine, I like to add just a tiny drop of castor oil to each nail to moisturize, reduce irritation, and keep them healthy.<\/p>\n

                  Castor Oil for Health & Wellness<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. \n

                    Massage Oil<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Massaging your muscles is a great way to reduce soreness, aches, and pains, but you can take it to the next level with castor oil. Since it improves circulation, the increased blood flow will help reduce sore muscles, allowing you to get back to the gym (or wherever you work out<\/a>) faster and with less pain!<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. \n

                      Heal Minor Cuts<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties make castor oil a great natural remedy to reduce pain and irritation while encouraging healing. I\u2019ll even use it on blisters to speed up recovery.<\/p>\n

                      Tip: My go-to for any kind of cut or wound is to cover with fresh aloe and follow with a little bit of castor oil.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. \n

                        Reduce Joint Pain<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        I haven\u2019t tried this, but I\u2019ve heard so many good things about castor oil packs<\/a>. They\u2019re easy and affordable to make and they can help reduce joint and muscle pain.<\/p>\n

                        \"castor

                        Castor Oil great for all skin types, but especially for those with acne prone, sensitive, and irritated skin.<\/p><\/div>\n

                        What Kind of Castor Oil is Best?<\/h5>\n

                        As with most oils, quality is everything. When it comes to finding quality castor oil<\/a>, look for oil that is cold pressed, cold processed, and hexane free. There should be no other ingredients aside from castor oil – anything else is just a filler.<\/p>\n

                        To improve the shelf life of your oil, store in a dark, cool place. Even a small bottle lasts a long time (usually at least a year) so when I open a new one, I write the date on the bottle so I know how long I\u2019ve had it and when it\u2019s time to toss.<\/p>\n

                        A Note on Taking Castor Oil Internally<\/h5>\n

                        There is a lot of information out there recommending castor oil to induce labour, as a laxative, to treat parasites, headaches and insomnia, and more. While the research is interesting, I\u2019m not comfortable recommending these methods. I\u2019m not a doctor and everyone\u2019s health is incredibly unique, so when it comes to using natural remedies, especially internally, I always recommend talking to your doctor about what\u2019s right for you!<\/p>\n

                        How do you use castor oil? I\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n
