Handmade All-Natural Skin Care

Someone was asking me recently what the benefits of castor oil are. There are health benefits to castor oil, but here are some surprising beauty benefits as well.

     1) Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, which acts as a humectant and helps moisturize skin. It not only helps moisturize, it helps lock in moisture.

     2) Castor oil has antimicrobial properties that can help reduce the symptoms of acne.

     3) Castor oil helps fight and fade blemishes because of its fatty acid properties.

     4) Castor oil contains a natural SPF of 5.687 which can help protect skin from the damaging effects of the sun.

     5) Castor oil helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin which helps fight wrinkles and fine lines.
