I have dry skin so in the
beginning I used these suggested proportions
10% castor oil
90% other oil
I found that my skin was still
dry after using these proportions so I further reduced the amount of castor oil
to:
5% castor oil
95% other oil
Here is my cleanser recipe:
½ tsp cold pressed and cold
processed Castor Oil
5 tsp olive oil
4 ½ tsp melted unrefined shea
butter
Mix well and let cool.
My mixture solidified to a
very soft consistency.
Notes:
➢ I chose unrefined shea butter because I saw how well
it conditioned my son's skin when he had eczema.
➢ I chose olive oil because I didn't have any sunflower
oil(which is highly recommended for the skin/face) and in my research I found
that olive oil(as well as shea butter) is a non-comedogenic(does not clog
pores) oil.
➢ Most times after cleansing my face I do not need
additional moisturization. Sometimes I
do. In those instances when I need to
apply an additional facial moisturizer I use a hand mixer to soften and whip
together unrefined shea butter and 10 drops or so of lavendar oil. I apply a
very little at a time with finger tips.
