Girlfriends, This Is For you!

Over the years, I have spent (wasted) more money on face creams and assorted expensive beauty products that promised to make me look fabulous forever. The promise made in ads had to be true because numerous reviews from satisfied customers (with photos) swore the claims were valid. Where did they find those lucky women? I have made up my mind; I will not pay a penny more for expensive cosmetic miracles that don’t deliver what they promise.

I have discovered the ultimate beauty secret that has been around for ages. I’ve often heard about its miraculous beauty benefits and often thought of trying it, but never got around to it. I was too busy smearing useless $100 cream on my face.

Recently, I heard an “influencer” raving about it, so I decided to give it a try.

After one week of applying straight castor oil to my face, a wrinkle (aarrrrrrgh!) that was beginning to invade my right cheek has almost disappeared. The skin is nice and smooth. The other cheek had a bubbly wrinkle that apparently had something to do with drainage under the eye. After one week of applying castor oil daily, it has diminished considerably. It’s almost flat and on the verge of disappearing.

 My neck is in remarkable condition but shows signs of aging. I have been using Strivectin for quite a while. Does it work? It’s okay, I guess. I decided to mix the Strivectin with castor oil in equal parts. To mix that concoction, you will need a glass mortar and pestle, which is available on Amazon. The result? I love it. The skin looks like young skin. It is soft and dewy but is not greasy.

You can also mix a larger amount of castor oil with your favorite body lotion. A favorite of mine Is Palmer’s coconut oil lotion If you have wrinkly upper underarms, the result is impressive. Kiss Crepe Erase goodbye.

Daily use of castor oil is not likely to show any results unless you stick with it. I’m 96 and since you are likely younger, you will be delighted in no time to see the result of using the castor oil or some castor oil mixture you concoct.

I make no promises here. I can’t guarantee that your body won’t reject it or produce a rash.  If you have allergies, this may not be the best option for you. What works for me may not work for you. But for me it’s better than spending $100 for a product that promises the moon but can’t deliver.  If you try it (give it a month to work) and like or dislike it, please let me know.

If you have a homemade “beauty brew” that works for you that you would like to share with others, let me know what you have that our “sisters” may enjoy it. Or, write an article about it and send it to me at IamBarbara.rph@gmail.com. Here are Amazon links:
