Tutorial: DIY Castor Oil and Turmeric Mask to Lighten Skin and Pigmentation

Good evening fellas....

I haven't post anything in a while since my internet connection is still sucks. Even though I still have a lot of pending post... #uugghhh #sob So... Today's post is about another DIY mask that I've been using for a while although not often because I'm a bit lazy on doing DIY mask lately aside from Chizu Saeki Method which is easier.

Anyway why turmeric and castor oil? Turmeric has been use since many years ago in India for Indian brides to prepare before marriage. It has been found to cut the skin’s melanin production. It also helps suntanned skin return to its normal shade faster and regular use of Castor oil on the scars and pigmentation helps to fade marks, pimple spots and pigmentation. Castor oil mixed with Turmeric gives long lasting results.

Here are the ingredients:
- turmeric powder
- castor oil

I bought turmeric powder at local grocery store (forgot how much it is though) and castor oil online (also forgot the name). If I have some acne I add cinnamon powder to the mask mix and also honey if I have any. Here's how I made the mask.

What is Castor Oil?

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the castor bean (technically castor seed as the castor plant, Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae), is not a member of the bean family). Castor oil is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 961 kg/m3. It is a triglyceride in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid. Oleic and linoleic acids are the other significant components.

Castor oil, extracted from castor beans, is widely used across the world. The castor plant, which initially originated in the warm regions of India, can be found in most of the Mediterranean and tropical zones. Though raw castor beans are not fit for human consumption, even causing illness at times, castor oil has been infused with a large number of health benefits, apart from uses as a beauty product. For instance, it is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant oil which has been used for centuries for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Then, the oil can also be used for treating various skin ailments. Although it has a strong and rather unpleasant taste, castor oil is used in cosmetics, soaps, textiles, medicines, massage oils and many other everyday products.
