Castor oil cleansing for glowing face

 (A guest article by Rajitha)

Everybody wants a beautiful, blemish-free, acne-free, blackhead-free, glowing face. After some years I came to the US, due to climate change and also hormonal changes, I started getting pimples and dark spots on my face. I tried this oil massaging with natural and inexpensive ingredients available at home which I would like to share with you.
All you need are:

Castor oil and little olive oil\sunflower oil

Hot running water

Clean washcloth

You may be surprised by the fact that how come I am using oil to remove oil. Well, the fact is that oil dissolves oil. Castor oil dissolves and removes oily dirt from your clogged micropores in the skin. Thus, leaves your skin smooth & clear.

Why I choose Castor oil over so many other oils because it is anti-inflammatory, and has healing properties, & cleansing properties. As castor oil is thick and it will not easily penetrate into the pores, we need a secondary oil to dilute castor oil.

Steps:

1. Take 2 teaspoons of castor + 2 teaspoons of the secondary oil mixture in your palm. You can straight away start this cleansing over your make-up, no need to wash your face prior to this. Rub the oil mixture on your face and neck with slow and firm motions.
2. Soak the washcloth in the hot water, wring it, and lay it over your face. This will open the pores on your face.
3. Once the washcloth is dry, wipe off the face.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 a couple of times.
5. If your skin feels tight, take a little amount of oil mixture and pat it onto your damp skin. Make sure to massage the leftover oil into your skin so that there is no film of oil left.

Precautions:
You could be allergic to castor oil so it is better to test it 24 hours before you apply it to the face. Test on your arm first.
Too much castor oil may make your skin dry and tight. So, you have to find the right combination of castor oil and secondary oil that suits you.
I would suggest you apply this weekly or as your skin demands.

Have happy glowing skin!
