I Put CASTOR OIL on Just One Side of My Face - Every Day for a Week

I put a constant layer of castor oil over one side of my face and body for 7 days. Did castor oil improve my skin complexion?, improve the appearance of moles?, reduce wrinkles and lines? Grow back hair? Did I experience any side effects of castor oil? What interesting things did I also learn about castor oil?

Dude! Put the oil in your hand then rub both hands together and THEN apply it to your face. And rub it in. Like lotion. It will be absorbed within about thirty minutes to an hour. I do this every night after I take a shower and by the time I go to bed, my face feels soft, but not oily at all. I’ve been doing this for about six weeks, and my sunspots have almost completely disappeared, and my face looks much more even toned. I’ve had several people ask me what I’m doing and why I look so rejuvenated. I had a seborrheic keratosis on my cheek that was getting larger and more pronounced. I started soaking a cotton ball in castor oil and then applying it to the spot with a Band-Aid, and leaving it overnight. This thing had been on my face for years, and I swear within four days it was completely gone. Now there is no scar and you can’t tell anything was ever there.

My aunt did a similar experiment by putting castor oil on sunspots on one of her hands and a lightening cream marketed for sunspots on the other for a few months. The castor oil side had significantly improved sunspots more than the cream.

as a 49M, using castor oil nightly for a year, the results have been nothing short of miraculous. in particular, eyelashes and brows are much fuller, eye bags are gone. of particular interest- dry eyes are gone (castor oil is n ingredient in many eye drops). from what i’ve read, it helps open tear ducts and as a result, i can wear contacts two hours longer than i used to. i experienced pretty noticeable eye boogers when i woke up for about a month and then they stopped.

keep in mind that since it takes your body two months to produce new skin, the real substantive changes from using it will take some time, but ill tell you- the compliments just started rolling in. i’ve been asked if i botoxed on more than one occasion. it’s cheap, effective, and will simply be part of my regular skin care routine for the remainder of my days.

pro tip: if you use it after the shower and then do a five minute red light therapy session, it absorbs into your skin much quicker.

60+ yr old female. I read that caster oil might help my post surgical scar on my knee. I began applying it and the pain actually disappeared. I wasn't expecting that but I kept using it and the pain never came back. It has only been a year and I can see significant fading in the scar. I tore a ligament in my shoulder and couldn't lift my arm above my head so, I tried using the oil there. I no longer have as much pain and I have more rotation. I began using the oil on my face and after a year, I look more youthful. I also had redness around my nose for the first few weeks and some dryness. I recommended it to a friend who has severe arthritis in her hands and there has been an improvement in her pain level and movement. The stuff is amazing!

Hi. I apply castor oil to my face pretty much everyday as my morning routine and before bed. I’ve read that by applying castor oil on ur face as the base it will absorbs your face moisturizer cream. You are not suppose to drench your face with castor oil lol.. it’s a small layer that is needed to applied to your face. I lightly tap around the sentive part of my face around the eyes and gently massage using an up and outer strokes never down. This is a really good beauty treatment I follow. It works for me cannot live without it. I am not allergic to it and if anyone isn’t sure test on before use. I also apply to my finger tips and massage onto my scalp so it doesn’t get my hair to greasy. I especially apply on areas I’ve seen that is thinning you can actually feel new growth of hair, it’s awesome 👏😃I hope it works for everyone 👍🏻😃 Have a blessing day everyone! ❤

unlike pharmaceuticals, natural remedies like this really need some time to do their work. A week is not enough. For stuff like this I think a month minimum is needed.

I have been using castor oil for about 10 months. I started putting it on my knees. My knees are bone on bone, and I've had my knees taped for 7 years. I haven't had my knees taped for over 7 months now that they don't pop out of place near as much now. I put it on my face every night. It has improved my tier production in my eyes to the point that I can wear contacts now. I haven't been able to wear contacts for 28 years. If I have a stomach ache, I put it in my belly button, and it will be gone in 10 min.
All my fingers got slammed in the garage door and the pain was so unbelievable I could hardly breathe and they throbbed so badly kept putting castor oil on them within 30 min the pain had subsided enough I could go to bed. The next day, I put it on them several times, no pain and no soreness!! I know it wouldn't have been that way without the castor oil!
Castor oil is an amazing healer!!

Your "experiments" are too short to ascertain any effectiveness.

I'm a holistic healing practitioner. You should apply a light coating to your feet - tops and bottoms and between toes, nightly before bed. many things will heal from that including your whole skin. By the way, some of those freckles are actually pre-cancerous spots. The castor oil will help that very well. You might try some frankincense essential oil directly on the spots as well just for the cherry on top! No charge! Have a great day.

Unfortunately, doing anything for your skin for just 1 week is like nothing! The skin renews itself every 28 days, so you need AT LEAST 1 month to see a difference. And the best thing is to do a skin treatment for 3 months, especially for the stretch marks. Also, you should massage the oil into the skin for a few seconds/minutes, not just slap it on. That's when you see the greatest effects. Of any treatment. Maybe you could try this again using these guidelines? I'm pretty sure you will be astonished at the results!

caster oil will purge impurities which could be why your nose got dry. I'm 62. I use it nightly with a drop or two of frankencense and my skin loves it. I do not put the frankencense on my eyelashes I use pure castor oil for that. I take time to rub it in . I give it 5 or 10 and then blot with a tissue and go to bed. Keep using it. You will see a wonderful change in your skin.

I use the same brand of castor oil that you are using for your experiment. It smells like sesame oil to me. I’ve used it for a couple of months now at night only. When I’ve put castor oil on blemishes, scrapes, or even burns, they seem to heal much faster. Also, the lines on my face have lessened . I’m going to continue using it.

I love using castor oil and it has been used for many, many years. My grandmother used to give it to my mother by mouth every day 70 years ago. The recent internet craze is not a 'new' trend... it was merely re-discovered. I use it daily EVERYWHERE. I start with Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream because it has so many qualities to help my skin. Then I follow it with Organic Heritage Store Castor Oil... MIXED WITH CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. I found that emulsifying these two together in my hand and then applying it absorbs into my skin more and is less "sticky" and this locks in the moisture from the Hydro Boost. I'm 51 and am told all the time I look like I'm in my 30's. It works! Keep using it every day and I'd love to see your results after 3 months!

Castor Oil is known to have "drawing" qualities. One of the reasons it is recommend to only buy CO that is packaged in a glass jar is because if it's in a plastic jar, it's drawing properties can leach chemicals from the plastic. This 'MAY' be what happened to your nose. If you had a small cyst or something like that, just under the skin the CO could have drawn it out. Any time I get a blemish on my face I get CO on my finger tip and rub it into the blemish. It is most usually gone or going away by the next day.

Most people put it on overnight and not having it on all the time.
Also 1 week is too short, like retinol it doesn’t work that quickly. If you use it warmed up some, like held in your palm for a minute it thins out and actually doesn’t feel so thick and spreads a thin layer
I put castor oil on my under eyes with aquaphor on top and it really helps my dark circles and fine lines. I am 50 for context

hi 60 year old black woman here...this new obsession with this oil is so funny to me..castor oil has been a staple in black households FOREVER...most of us only use castor oil or shea butter....tretinoin and sunscreen is basically a youtube thing and most everyday black people dont use these products..FYI we use castor oil at night and shea butter as a daytime moisturizer

I just turned 58 and trust me castor oil has made my Face years younger

[elron]

I hope this guy reads the comments and makes us an update. I liked the thoroughness of the research, but the chosen time span was indeed (way) too short. Do this for one month (and apply it as the stuff itself SHOULD make one feel l it wants to be applied...), and you'll come up with a truly amazing result - and video.

[willowsoul]

Actually, castor oil can change some things in a week. I’ve used it at 70 and it does truly work..!!
