Castor oil has become increasingly popular in natural skincare.

But how do you actually use it?

Fortunately, this is one skincare routine that doesn’t require seven steps.

For people exploring topical oils alongside supplements for dry skin, castor oil can be added to a routine in seconds.

Start With a Small Amount

Castor oil is considerably thicker than many common carrier oils.

You don’t need much.

Apply a small amount to clean skin and massage gently until distributed across the area.

It’s particularly useful for:

• Dry hands
• Feet and heels
• Elbows
• Knees
• Other areas needing additional moisturisation

If you find pure castor oil too thick, blend it with a lighter carrier oil before application.

Why Use It for Dry Skin?

Castor oil is naturally rich in fatty acids, with ricinoleic acid making up a particularly large proportion of its fatty-acid profile.

Its rich texture makes it well suited to moisturising dry skin and supporting a softer, smoother appearance.

Choose the Right Castor Oil

For something you’re applying directly to your skin, quality matters.

Propel Health Castor Oil is:

Certified Organic

100% pure

Cold-pressed

Hexane-free

Fragrance-free

Preservative-free

It’s also packaged in amber glass to help protect the oil from light.

The clean, single-ingredient formulation is one reason it’s recommended by health practitioners, including dermatologists, and Propel Health products are available through more than 550 pharmacies and health food stores nationally.

People often focus exclusively on supplements for dry skin, but skin hydration also involves what you put directly on the skin.

For a topical routine, it’s difficult to get much simpler than 100% pure organic castor oil.
