Used as a biological warfare agent!

It says that the Ricin is purified out of Castor Oil.

Does anyone have results? I stopped after about 10 days because I thought it might have caused a mild breakout. Other than that, the results were great. It perfected the skin consistency so I'll be trying it again.

Believe it or don't, Trader Joe's sells a Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleanser for around $6 that's reported to be great. Sure sounds easier than mixing up your own concoction.

That tea tree oil they sell is only like 5% though and is mixed with alcohol which dries out your skin.
I've used olive oil in my hair before, and I sometimes use coconut oil to moisturize both hair and skin. Emu oil works great in extreme cases when warmed before application (windburn, chapping, peeling), I just recently learned some people use it to condition their leather.

I've heard good things about this. I'm going to try it (using a mixture of castor and sunflower seed oil), and I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I would try it at night at first. Sometimes it's difficult to wipe off the excess castor oil so your face might look oily right after, but over night it absorbs and dries. Don't forget this method is supposed to balance skin. Some people are hesitant because they already have oily skin but in my experience the method dried the usual excess oil but at the same time kept balanced and moisturized. The next morning the skin was not oily at all.
