I've been doing it and it leaves my skin really soft.

OKAY so I finally made it to the store this weekend and bought the castor oil. I have been doing this for two nights now and I have to say I am surprised at how tight and clean it leaves my face feeling. I have yet to do it in the morning as I sort of have a weird feeling about slathering oil on my face before makeup and work. I have just been using a mild Neutrogena in the shower in the morning.

I can feel a difference in my skin for sure but I was wondering for those of you who have been doing it for a while now have you noticed a difference in less acne yet?

lilstar63100 · 01-23-2008, 01:04 PM

i went and bought the stuff today... i think ill give it a try.... i have sensetive skin and any time i use acne products for more than two days in a row my skin gets irritated and red... so hopefully this will work a little better

do any of the original users have updates on how its working?

I haven't really noticed a diff. in less acne, but they seemed to have gotten smaller i guess.

I really have not noticed a diifference actually. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if my ratios are wrong.

gutu28 · 01-24-2008, 09:20 AM

I'm on my 3rd or 4th week right now..I can't remember! hahha My skin was doing great for a while..this week has sucked. I think it's a combination of it being the week before my period and sleeping in makeup a couple of nights (oops!) ..they said it would take 3-4 weeks to notice any difference, so those of yall that have just started..stick with it for a while and you might notice some more improvements.

I'm still sticking with it as my breakouts are starting to go down now. I have been putting tea tree oil on them which has helped A LOT! Burts Bees has this blemish stick which is made mostly of tea tree oil..I highly recommend it!

girlybella · 01-24-2008, 09:40 AM

what an interesting concept..never heard of using oil to combat oil....I know someone who has a small bottle of EVVO next to her bed and she massage it into her hands every night before bed and she has beautiful hands and her nails look fabulous. Would love to hear about the results in a month or 2 of using. Thanks for posting!

LunasMomma · 01-24-2008, 01:07 PM

I finally bought the castor oil today, I kept forgetting

I always have EVOO in the house. Tonight will be my first time

I have weird skin. Large pores AND wrinkles

I don't break out regularly, but i do have a black/whitehead problem on my nose and chin, and like I said wrinkles too

A few weeks ago, I got a huge zit right INSIDE one of the frown lines between my eyebrows

NO FAIR!

So anyway, hopefully this will help with my skin. I hope.

LunasMomma · 02-05-2008, 06:38 AM

Just an update. My skin has NEVER looked better (okay maybe when I was a kid

!) My pores appear smaller, the fine lines less noticeable and I have a GLOW! It's not oily at all, and usually by the end of the day I'm a greasepit

but now it's an actual glow instead of the oil shine. My hubby even noticed and he doesn't notice when I change my hair style or color

My daughter is using it too (she's 12) and her breakouts are much much less already. I hope and pray that this will help her skin clear up totally, as it really messes with her self-esteem

There is improvement after only about a week or so, so there IS hope

BLESS you for posting this, gutu

YAY! I am so glad it's working for you! I switched from EVOO to Jojoba oil and Im hoping to see some better results. I read on the website I posted that not everyone's skin can handle EVOO and I broke out real bad a couple of weeks ago. For those that are not seeing too many results, trying adding MORE castor oil, as long as your skin isn't drying out with the ratio you have right now. or maybe switch to jojoba oil. Ive just switched about 4 days ago, so it's still a little early to tell how it's going to work.

SladesMommy · 02-05-2008, 10:35 AM

I finally have the stuff. I think I may try it, but I'm so scared it may make me break out more. I have a concert to go to next week and I don't want to be more broken out then usual for it. So maybe i'll wait til after that to try it. I'm going to see my bf in late march and it would be awesome if my skin was clear by then.

For My Coby · 02-05-2008, 11:04 AM

I had never heard of this until this thread. So I've been trying it too!

I am using coconut oil instead of EVOO. We use coconut oil for everything. (Our groomer even uses it in Reggie's ears - it has antibacterial properties). I thought about trying the EVOO tho too. What is it that some people "can't handle"?

It has definitely made my skin softer (to combat the other products that I use!) but does NOT make it greasy or oily at all. I use about 65-75% castor oil and the rest coconut oil. And it does seem to be helping with any breakouts too, but it could be too early to tell that.

This is another of the things I love about YT - the off topic ideas!!

Jenn218 · 02-05-2008, 11:08 AM

I am going to look into this...because right now my daughter and I are both on antibiotics for acne...and I just don't like the idea of being on them for a long period of time.........
