14-Day Castor Oil Challenge: What It Really Does for Your Skin

Wondering if castor oil deserves a place in your skin-care routine? Here’s what two weeks of nightly use can deliver: 1. Hydration Boost – Ricinoleic acid locks in moisture, especially under the eyes, reducing dryness and dark circles. 2. Smoother, Firmer Skin – Naturally occurring retinoic-acid derivatives stimulate collagen and elastin, easing fine lines and wrinkles. 3. Triple Protection – Anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties calm irritated skin and deter breakouts. How to Use • Cleanse face, pat dry. • Warm 2–3 drops between fingertips; gently massage into skin (focus on eye area). • Leave on overnight. Optional: layer a light moisturizer on top if skin is very dry. Caution: Patch-test first; avoid if you’re prone to clogged pores or have an allergy to castor beans. Disclaimer: Results vary.
