As a topical treatment, castor oil is also widely used for skin health and beauty. Rubbing castor oil on hands and feet at night will help maintain healthy and soft skin, as well as reduce callous and dry skin. Massaging the body with castor oil prior to a bath once a week will help the skin retain its natural healing properties as well as stimulate the body’s muscles and internal organs.

To treat skin with tough callouses:

Soak affected area in warm water, to which 1/3 c. unpasteurized apple cider has been added, for 15-20 minutes.

Dry well and massage area with Palma Christi castor oil. If treating feet, cover with cotton socks; for hands, cover with thin cotton gloves.

Best results are achieved if left overnight.
