- Lightens stretch marks
The following remedies are proved helpful in clearing or preventing wrinkles with the help of castor oil.
Castor Oil Massage:

- Apply a small amount of rose water on your face as it acts as a toner.
- Dip your finger in castor oil and slowly apply the oil under the eye, covering the entire area and massage it gently.
Castor oil takes no more than 15 minutes to get absorbed into the skin. After that, you can continue with your normal makeup routine without washing off the castor oil.
