My go-to skincare product is a must for stopping premature aging – it’s great for fixing under-eye bags and dark circles
AGING is inevitable but that doesn’t mean you can’t look your best while it happens.
A woman, who describes herself as “aging gracefully,” has shared one of her top tips.
In her video, Cindy Currie (@mommycurrie) revealed the skincare product she swears by for tackling under-eye bags and dark circles.
“Let’s talk about all the benefits of using castor oil on your eyes,” she said.
“The castor oil has so many amazing properties for your skin, especially the skin around your eyes,” Cindy explained, massaging it in.
The TikToker explained that the oil “improves circulation, helps reduce the inflammation around your eyes, and improves the eyebags and dark circles.”
She recommended applying the beauty product directly to your eyelids as well as the skin surrounding your eye.
“Can’t forget the eyelashes, it helps with eyelash growth as well,” she said.
Cindy explained that castor oil contains Vitamin E, which “helps to protect your skin from all the free radicals and oxidative stress, which leads to premature aging.”
It also is made up of ricinoleic acid, which she described as “a unique fatty acid that helps with moisturization.”
The acid’s anti-inflammatory properties help to penetrate deeper into the dermis layers of the skin.
“It also has a unique ability to pull any nutrients in even deeper than any other oil can,” Cindy said.
She pointed out that castor oil is helpful for anyone who grew up in the ’90s and overtweezed their eyebrows.
Cindy added that castor oil also helps tackle both cataracts and acne as well as improving the skin barrier.
As well as its anti-aging effects, it also improves the skin’s absorption of other skincare products.
“I’ve been applying it every night on and around my eyes, well all over my face and neck really and the benefits are so great already,” she said.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the advice.
“I’ve been using this [for a] month and my aunt noticed a difference in my face, she ordered it on Amazon today,” wrote one viewer.
“I use the blue Nivea cream and castor oil at night on my face, amazing,” said another follower.
“Not only am I loving the benefits but I’m also enjoying the application time, I find it very calming,” commented a third person.
