Taking castor oil internally cured my lack luster, dry, dehydrated, dull skin.
I began taking 1 tsp internally per day for hair-related results and to my surprise by skin became softer than I can ever remember! I now take 1 tsp daily with each meal followed by a swig of water to wash it down. I don't take it religiously, but anytime I remember and have access. You could always just take one big dose at your convenience. Be careful: at higher doses (somewhere around 1 to 2 tbspn in a 24 hour period) castor oil will act as a laxative.
I'm not sure why castor oil hydrated my skin, but probably related to a health issue that the oil helped cleared up. Give it a try! You'll never have to buy body lotion again!

I had badly calloused feet....especially in summer as I always wore sandals. I mixed 50/50 solution of unscented vaseline lotion and castor oil and rubbed it into my feet right before bed. I bought a couple of pairs of cheap terry cloth house slippers and wore those until I was in bed (we have hard wood floors & didn't want to fall on my duff .) I was just doing it to soften my feet a little, but after a month, I stepped out of the shower one day and my entire foot peeled a very thick callous practically all in one huge piece, and my feet were so soft. I 've been doing it ever since as a preventative measure. Patience is the key, but it was certainly a surprise plus for me, as I thought the skin was way too thick to make any headway as far as alleviating the callous. I was just hoping to make my feet a little softer. Hope this helps.
