Castor oil, made from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, has been used for many years because of its healing properties. Using castor oil before going to sleep can provide many health benefits, such as improving skin condition and helping you sleep better. Here is what occurs in your body when you start using castor oil every night.
Health of the skin
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which is a type of fatty acid that helps to keep skin moisturized. This means it helps your skin keep moisture by stopping water from escaping through the outer layer of the skin.
How to apply: Lightly massage a small bit of castor oil on your face and neck before going to bed. The oil goes deep into the skin, keeping it moisturized and helping to make fine lines and wrinkles less visible.
Health of Hair and Scalp
Castor oil is commonly used as a natural remedy for issues with the scalp and hair. It can improve the health of hair roots and help hair grow because it has many nutrients and reduces inflammation.
How to apply: Put a few drops of castor oil on your scalp and gently massage it in. You can also use it on all of your hair, especially if the ends are dry or split.
