Dry Itchy Skin? Relieve it with a Castor Oil Home Remedy

Here's an anti-aging and anti-itching home remedy that makes your skin

healthy and relieves the itchies in cold, dry weather. It's part of a program

for growing younger and it won't cost an arm and a leg.

We've been experiencing Himalayan-type cold here in Taos, New Mexico, that

makes you want to just curl up in bed with the covers over your head until

spring.

But then it's hard to sleep when the itching all over your body caused by

dryness in cold weather feels like microscopic crawly things chomping on you.

Cold, dry weather can cause itching, increase wrinkles and damage your skin.

The good news is, you can protect your skin with a low-cost home remedy I've

been using for seven years that works wonders! It's part of my program for

growing younger and it's amazing what it does for your skin in any

season!

Ellen Wood's Castor Oil Home Remedy for Healthy, Young Skin

1. Go to your local health food or herb store and buy an 8 oz. bottle of

castor oil and a tiny bottle each of Frankincense and Lavender Essential Oil

all excellent for your skin. Make sure the castor oil bottle has a

screw-on cap with a spout that lifts up to pour.

2. Pour about 2 ounces of the castor oil into an extra bottle or jar to save

for adding as needed.

3. Add 2 ounces of water to the 6 ounces of castor oil. Add 2 to 4 drops each

of Frankincense and Lavender.

4. Shake, lift the spout and pour some into your hands and spread all over

your face.

5. Close the spout and shake again. Then begin spreading it all over your

body. Shake frequently between pours. Add more water if it gets too thick or

more castor oil if it's too watery.

6. As you rub this yummy oil all over, say thank you to each part of

your body for carrying you around, allowing you to touch and hold things,

for keepin on even when you dont give it enough attention or rest.

7. Can't reach your back? Go to the hardware store and get a paint sponge on

a stick. Gently pour the oil mixture on the sponge and spread it on your

back. Then insert the sponge end into a plastic baggie for use the next day.

Actually, I find it quicker to use the sponge to apply the oil everywhere

except my face and feet, where I just use my hands.

Kids' Faces Need Protection Too

When I was a little kid growing up in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, I remember

being so excited about going outside to play in the snow.

There we were, my sister and brother and I, dressed in layers of long johns,

leggings, sweaters, scarves two pair of socks inside boots we called

goulashes then a hat covering our head, forehead and ears; hooded jacket;

mittens and another scarf wrapped around our neck and chin.

"Stand still," my mother would tell her three little mummies, who were

wondering if they'd be able to bend over to make a snowball, while she

anointed the only visible part of each of us with Vaseline slathering it

over little cheeks, noses and lips.

Vaseline seemed to work in those days and I slathered it on my kids too

but today we've re-discovered the healthy benefits of castor oil for the

skin, so go ahead and anoint your kids, too, with my castor oil home remedy.

Do you have a home remedy thats good for your skin? Comment below and

Joy and Blessings!
