Caution when using castor oil
You have already come to know the benefits of castor oil and the method of applying it. Some precautions should also be taken while applying it. Although there are no disadvantages of castor oil, but still, sometimes if someone’s skin is sensitive, then there may be problems like itching and burning. In such a situation, if you are thinking of using castor oil or hair mask, then do a patch test before that. You can apply castor oil on your wrist or hand and leave it for a few hours. If during this time you feel any problem like burning and itching, then do not apply it, because it may not suit your skin. Not everyone’s skin is the same, so what suits the skin of others may not suit yours. Like castor oil, do a patch test of the hair mask first and if you feel any problem, wash it off immediately.
