How to use Jamaican Black Castor Oil?
Since the period of Egyptian queens who were obsessed with the power of beauty and the period of African slaves who sought for natural healing products as they couldn’t access the medicines, Jamaican Black Castor Oil worked wonders for these people. It is believed that the unique tradition of preparing the black castor oil was brought to the Caribbean by Africans.
Other than the colour of Jamaican Black Castor Oil, the process of extracting this oil is different than the cold-pressed castor oil. The castor seeds are first roasted and then crushed into powder. The powder is later boiled in the hot pot for hours together till the oil starts to resurface. It is a dark coloured oil with a nutty smell.
High in ricinoleic acid, Vitamin E, omega 6 and 9 fatty acids, this oil is used for both therapeutic and beauty purposes. Its ideal pH level forms the protective layer on the skin, and the scalp easily absorbs the anti-oxidants present in this oil. No doubt, this oil is miraculous for both skin and hair.
Let’s look at how to use Jamaican Black castor oil that reaps best results:

Throw out all those chemically loaded makeup remover creams. Apply this oil on your palms, rub them to warm up the oil and then gently massage it on your face. Either use a cotton ball to remove the make-up or you can just rinse your face with lukewarm water and a natural face wash. This process will make sure that your skin pores are not clogged and your skin can breathe properly at night.
You can also use the oil as the replacement of your night cream and for treating acne. If you have dry and cracked heels, massage this oil gently on your heels for 30 minutes before going to sleep, and within a few weeks, your heels will turn soft.
