I must say that i have heard about [url]jamaican black castor[/url] oil in the past and how it has worked wonders for people but i never really tried it... i finally took the leap 3 months aggo and to cut a long story short the results are just awesome!
this is the first hair care product that actually keeps my hair moist... and grow my edges at the same time.
i can easily see myself buying 3 more bottles of JBCO
I am really learning a lot about its other uses and this thread has surely showed me some additional uses that i can try with each bottle... i just love it!! 🙂
You can use coconut oil or olive oil to hydrate your skin. I found some natural products in Essenzza Health, they sell a natural facial mask that has coconut oil and carrot seed which helps my skin to be hydrated and moisturized. Coconut oil is great for hydrating and repairing some crack and flaky skin.

i second with this 🙂
Castor oil is good for both hair and skin.But I felt good using coconut oil so I usually prefer a mixing of all three or only coconut oil.
Hi,
I have been using castor oil on my face for the past two weeks having read about how good it is as a moisturiser for dry skin (and anti-ageing etc!). I put only a small amount on the face and massage it in gently. I get very dry skin but not usually any flaky or sore areas. However since using the castor oil I have been getting red blotches of very dry skin around my mouth and the upper lip has been really dry. It is also getting very sore and the only thing that seems to soothe it, bizarrely, is applying more castor oil. Everything else makes it sting or more dry. I have noticed today also that my cheeks and forehead are unusually reddish. I wondered if anyone else uses castor oil as a moisturiser and if they had problems initially (as I know it is also a cleansing and anti-bacterial oil). I am also using it on other parts of my body with no problems at all. I was using maracuja oil on my face every night before I tried the castor oil but that seemed to dry out my skin. (I have read on this forum and also elsewhere on the internet of the use of castor oil in the oil cleansing method but when I tried this - with sunflower oil - it made things worse). Any ideas or suggestions gratefully appreciated! Many thanks!
Hi Sapphy,
I had a same problem... having dry skin needs to take more care, especially in winter season. But before using anything on your skin always consult a doctor. My dermatologist suggest me Splurge moisturizer, which is 100% natural, hand made product so you don't have to worry about any side effects. Try once and see the results. You can buy online too from forestica website.
Castor oil is good at treating such problems as skin dryness. I mix castor oil with a little coconut oil (in proportion 1:1) and apply to the affected area of skin, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse off and pat dry. After a couple of times of doing this skin will become softer and dryness will disappear.And mask :mix one teaspoon of castor oil with one egg yolk, apply it to your face for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry. Your skin will love it!
Make your skin healthy and glowing with dermalmd skin lighter serum its very effective. It is on the strong side, so be cautious on lighter more tender skin. However, I think it is very good and use it every other day. The darker sun spots on my cheek are lightening very quickly and I am very happy with dermalmd.
I sure wish I'd found this conversation 2 days ago, lol.
I used castor oil on my face because it's been so dry lately & I'd read how GOOD it was for that!
Well, my skin is even drier today!!!! The worst it's EVER been. I've gone back to my calendula sunflower oil & will try some others as well.
I also read how castor oil will absorb into the skin in 5-20 minutes. This isn't true! For me anyway. I could still see & feel it on my face the next day!
Lesson learned, DO MORE RESEARCH before trying something new 🙂
Almond oil is a good moisturiser. I have used it on my face for decades.

Good to know! Thanks!

Oh I just saw I mentioned almond oil in an earlier post! 
Well, it was almost 3 years ago!

Lol, yeah, I didn't catch that 🙂 Probably too distracted by my dry skin!
I have to get on board with products that are made with jojoba oil or even some types of a eczema cream. I have really dry sensitive skin and my eye used to puff up really badly against any type of simple soap or product that I added to my skin. While I know that jojoba for face works very well, I also know about the best eye makeup remover that is paraben free that I use for my dry, sensitive skin. Albolene has a new product that they came out with that is mainly made to remover my waterproof mascara, but also has a useful side effect of being very gentle on my skin. This eye makeup remover is safe with contact lens and conditions your eyelids and eyelashes. I can't begin to describe how much this changes my life. Any product can be made to work exceptionally well, not being able to see because your eye don't puff up so much that it blocks your sight, to me is serious. This skin moisturizer (original formula) works better than any other product that I have used and to me is better than jojoba oil on its own. Please check this out Albolene online and see for yourself if have very sensitive skin especially around your eyes.Thank care!
If you use castor oil for skin moisturising mix it with light oil like apricot oil, Olive oil or jojoba oil & massage it into your facial skin thoroughly. Fatty acids which was present in oils displace the waxy debris that would otherwise cause blackheads and acne.
