Mad For Oil (So Private, Planet) on 04/30/2011
This is an update regarding my post of 27 April. The pigmented and raised spots are continuing to fade. I just put the castor oil on about 3 times a day. The moles on my face are shrinking and my warts look ready to fall off. In addition, the membrane growing on my eye IS slowly shrinking - from the edges to the middle, so it is much narrower than before.
My arms are more evenly pigmented, and what looked like a brown tan is now clearly showing up as a series of sun spots and freckles which are shrinking.
I am amazed at so much progress in just a few deays. I will continue to post.
P.S. My sheets are rather oil stained, but its a small price to pay

I am 43 years old and I have begun to develop strange brown raised bumps on my hands and arms. I began applying pure castor oil on the most obvious spots. They were much lighter by the next morning. When I repeated the application this evening, I had to struggle to find the spots.
I am now going to do the same to all spots on my chest and legs.
I have read that castor oil (hexane free) is a great cure for many things. I used it in my hair for the first time this evening, and started using it as eyedrops for my dry eye as well. The eye is not clearing up as fast as the skin, but the irritation in my eye has stopped.

UPDATE: So its been just about 7 months since I last posted about castor oil and wanted to give you an update. My age spots were gone, my worry crease between my eyebrows practically non-existant, and my skin where I had been using the castor oil firmer. I got cocky and stopped using the oil for about two months. I noticed the spots coming back and skin getting an almost rough texture on my cheekbones. I started using the castor oil again and in a week (two applications a day, left on clean skin for 10-15 minutes) and the spots are dramatically improved. Better than any anti-aging or age spot remover Ive found!

I'm in my late 30s and a few years ago, after my first pregnancy, I started get a number of small sun/age spots/freckles on my face. About a year ago, I got two on the top of my checkbones under my eyes, where my glasses rest. They are big in comparison and made me look much older than I am (at least to me!) Ive been very hesitant to use any medical or chemical procedures - prescriptions, laser treatments, etc. I read here and on one other site about caster oil and thought Id give it a shot before spending way too much money on natural beauty products on the market (one was for over $40, vs the $5 castor oil!). Its been a little over a week now, dipping a cotton swab into the oil and applying twice daily after washing my face. I rub it in a little and wait about 10 minutes before applying daily or nighttime lotion. The spots have lightened DRAMATICALLY! I barely have to use any coverup on them when before I had to cake it on. I cant wait to see what they look like in a month! My skin where i have used it is looking much better, too, although I cant quite pinpoint why - smaller pores, tighter, fewer lines...not sure yet. Ive started using it on my "worry crease" between my eyebrows and have also noticed a difference! Thanks, Alyson
