Is castor oil good for face overnight?

This is a question that we are often asked and the answer is no. castor oil is not meant to be left on the face overnight. As castor oil is very thick in nature, it can clog the pores if it is left on the face for an extended period of time. This applies more for people who have acne prone or sensitive skin.

However you can use castor oil at night time, only don’t forget to remove it properly before going to bed.

Can I use castor oil on my skin daily?

You can use castor oil on your skin if you are not experiencing any adverse reactions. This is because castor oil is a gentle and nourishing oil that has many skin benefits.

But if you have sensitive or acne prone skin it is good to test the oil on a small area of your skin before using it on your face. This way you will come to know if you are allergic to the oil.
