Peeling with castor oil

Peeling for the face and body can be done using oils. Take castor oil for the base, add some extra virgin olive oil and skin care oil with the properties you need (about 3:1:1). You can also add 1-2 drops of essential oil to scent your skin.

Wash your face with hot water to open your pores. Apply the oil mixture generously and massage your face in a circular motion along the massage lines for 10-15 minutes. Add oil as it is absorbed. Rinse your face with hot water, dry thoroughly with a towel and rinse well with cold water to close the pores. Dry off with a towel. Do not use soap to wash off the mask! This negates the effect of the procedure.

Peeling at home with castor oil is an excellent means of natural cosmetology: it thoroughly cleanses any skin from dead cells, including irritated and dry, which is contraindicated in mechanical peeling. The sticky oil draws out the contents of the pores and rolls up the keratinized layer of the skin, making it surprisingly soft, clean and tender. Massage activates blood circulation and relaxes muscles, which leads to a reduction in expression lines.

You can use castor oil in home cosmetology and for the whole body after a bath. Peeling helps to cope with inflammation, skin defects, earthy complexion and black spots. Procedures can be carried out 1-2 times a week.
