The causes of facial wrinkles
As you get older, your skin loses elasticity. The skin is less resilient and collagen and elastin are produced less easily. In addition to these internal factors, external factors also influence the skin condition. UV rays, smoking, alcohol consumption and an overall poor diet all contribute to the formation of fine lines on the face.Castor oil for eye wrinkles
Wrinkles under the eyes or on the forehead often make you look older. Although age plays a major role in the formation of aging skin, external factors can also have an influence. For this reason, fine lines and wrinkles are not only seen in mature skin. Young people can also see such signs of aging on their faces. These signs of aging can be counteracted by massaging castor oil well into the skin.Some of the benefits of castor oil are:
- The moisturizing properties in castor oil help retain moisture in the skin. Hydrated skin makes the skin less sensitive to external influences.
- Castor oil easily penetrates the skin to enhance collagen production, which improves skin elasticity. Stretch marks and other scars fade or are prevented when using the oil.
- When used regularly, the fatty acids in the oil lighten the appearance of dark spots and scars.
- Castor oil reduces inflammation and protects the skin against harmful UV rays and impurities.
- Nutrients in castor oil reduce forehead wrinkles and fine lines under the eyes.
- Cicric acid in castor oil helps limit acne infections.
- Omega-3 fatty acids in castor oil stimulate the formation of healthy cells and make the skin supple and fresh.
How do you use castor oil against wrinkles?
Castor oil has a smoky smell. The oil can be applied directly to the skin, or mix a few drops of the oil with your day cream. Below we list different methods to use this oil. Choose the one that suits your skin best.1. Castor oil as a cleansing oil
The skin is exposed daily to external influences and harmful substances. For this reason, the skin can become contaminated. The skin also renews itself daily and sheds dead skin cells. Properly exfoliating the skin can make these dead skin cells and contaminants disappear. To cleanse the skin with castor oil, apply a few drops of oil to the face. Rub the skin with a (reusable) cotton pad until all oil has been wiped away. Then rinse the face with water.
