It’s a new year and the winter is in full effect. As winter sets in, the days get longer and you are buried in thick sweaters, hats and gloves to ward off the cold. Naturally, most of us go into hibernation mode, we often ignore certain obvious health concerns such as regular exercise or keeping up with our skincare routine.
Above all, we forget that our body needs special care and attention during the long and dry winter months. It is extremely necessary to take precautions to protect our skin and hair to effectively combat the winter season and its harmful effects. No worries, keep your skin glowing this winter with our Castor Oil!
Extracted from the Ricinus Communis plant, castor seed oil primarily contains oils of fatty acids. Most of the fatty acids that are found in castor oil are that of ricinoleic acid, responsible for most of castor oil’s nourishing and healing properties. It helps maintain moisture levels in the skin, along with plump, softened, and lubricated skin cells.
Infused with natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, castor oil is also rich in Vitamin E, minerals, proteins and Omega 6 and 9 beneficial fatty acids.
Castor oil contains triglycerides, as well as fatty acids, which help maintain moisture in the skin. It naturally has humectant properties, which means it can draw moisture from the air and lock it into your skin.
During the winter season, castor oil protects and shields your skin and hair, keeping it hydrated and nourished. Because of its velvety thickness, it can provide long-lasting moisture for your skin and nails.
If you suffer from severely dry skin or dry hair, castor oil can be used once a week, but remember that no treatment should be done excessively.
As we know, during the winter months, dry air can devastate our skin, causing it to crack. The moisture provided from castor oil penetrates deep into your skin and heals cracks quickly.
Rubbing castor oil on your lips and letting it soak in before applying a lip balm can give the added benefit of soothing and conditioning chapped lips.
You can also rub castor oil on your feet, concentrating on your heels, before applying socks at bedtime to wake up to smooth, soft and healed feet!
If you have stretch marks, applying castor oil may be your perfect home remedy. The Omega-3 fatty acids that are found in castor oil can help reduce pigmentation left from stretch marks by stimulating the growth of healthy tissue in the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids also help minimize inflammation that is associated with damage from stretch marks. You can apply castor oil straight onto the problematic area, or you can mix it in with your favorite body moisturizer!
If you're looking for an all-around carrier oil to use this winter, castor oil is the best bet. Castor oil is essential for keeping skin moisturized and hair healthy.
