    Smiley castor oil got rid of my under eye circles!

    so i've been putting cold-pressed hexane-free castor oil on my lashes and brows at night to help grow them out ( its been working beautifully btw) and today i looked in the mirror and noticed something different.. i looked so much healthier and almost younger, and then i realized my dark circles and bags under my eyes were completely gone. i've had them since i was 13 or 14 and had kind of resigned myself and just used a lot of concealer, but now holy crap. i googled it, and sure enough castor oil can be used to get rid of under eye circles. it has ricinoleic acid which is anti-inflammatory and a whole bunch of fatty acids. it can also penetrate your skin better than any other essential vegetable oil. i probably sound like an advertisement right now lol, but just thought i'd share if there are any other girls out there battling the purple bags, and castor oil is so cheap and readily available

    they also say a vitamin K deficiency can lead to dark eye circles, so i'm going to start eating lots of foods rich in that vitamin

    Simone, you just saved me from restarting a barely effective potassium supplement with this information; I could kiss you! I guess it's a good thing that I love vitamin K rich foods (I freaking CRAVE broccoli and spinach) even if I eat no where near as much of them as I'd like right now.

    yay, i'm glad i could help, and hope it works out for you! of course everybody's skin is different, and if you've never used castor oil before be sure to spot test first, to be sure you aren't super sensitive to it

    I love castor oil. I use to use Dr. Haushkas under eye balm with it in it and it was the bomb. they don't sell it anywhere I know of anymore. I also use to use a sunscreen that had it and then they refourmulated and took it out . My skin looked a lot better with the old formulation.

    ^ i hate when they discontinue good products! tonight i started adding vitamin E oil to the castor ( i just get the capsules and drain the liquid out so its nice and pure), hoping that gives me even better results, plus early prevention of eye wrinkles!

    I love castor oil. I use it under my eyes and on my neck and also on my scalp to help thicken, strengthen my hair.

    Thankfully, I know I'm not sensitive because I use it on my scalp! Really looking forward to seeing how this works out.

    Do you get the liquid version and apply it with a cotton ball or something similar? Walmart has a castor oil roll-on stick but I'm skeptical of it.

    Thanks for this. I'm olive skinned and I have dark pigmentation under my eyes. I always look tired and worn out, even after 8+ hours sleep.

    ^ no , it took a few weeks for me to notice lol. if you your under-eye circles are genetic, i don't think the castor oil will get rid of those , i think you may have to get a skin-lightener but i'm not sure

    My SO lost a chuck of his hair in a work accident (luckily his scalp is fine), but I want to get some castor oil for his hair. How much castor oil do you ladies usually put in your hair? Is it better to put a lot, wait some hours and wash it out, or to just leave a tiny bit in there all day?

    ^^^ Castor oil is sooooo good for the hair and scalp! I make an ayurvedic mixture for every time I wash my hair. Castor oil is the base.

    You could try avacado oil too, (it has natural vitamin E). I'd put in a little at a time, let it absorb

    i'd do it overnight. its VERY thick and sticky, but you want to let it soak in a bit. i'd massage the scalp with it, then put a shower cap over it for the night and wash it out in the morning

    ^ a girl in my eyebrows thread also recommended nioxin as a way to stimulate hair growth, she said it really worked so maybe try that too?

    I use USP rated 100% castor oil from the pharmacy.

    For my hair, I use a 4:1 EVOO/castor mix to massage my scalp weekly. I couldn't use straight castor because of how thick and sticky it is. I would much prefer to use jojoba, but it's expensive and hard to find locally.
    For my eyes, I've started applying the pure castor with a Q-tip along my upper lashline. I haven't noticed any difference in lashes or circles yet, but I've been kinda lazy about doing it. Should I be applying it under my eyes too, or applying a bit more, or do I need to just be less lazy?
