Usually when we think of castor oil, we think of that horrid tasting liquid that some of us were forced to drink when we were young. However not only does it offer benefits to our health it also offers some great benefits to our skin too. As castor oil is a cold pressed oil, it helps to draw moisture to the skin, as it acts as a humectant. This creates a protective barrier against moisture loss and environmental damage. This is quite a special oil and not one to be underestimated as it is easier to absorb into the skin, than any other plant oil. It also works very hard to draw out pore-clogging dirt and impurities from deep within your skin.
