Castor oil is recognised for its benefits for hair growth, dry skin, and eyebrow and scalp care. However, remember that pure castor oil cannot be made from castor beans at home in five minutes. The process of making the oil is much more complicated and includes pressing or processing seeds, which contain ricin, a dangerous substance that makes the extraction process unsafe. However, what you can prepare in five minutes is a DIY recipe with castor oil using the oil that has already been extracted, that is, cold-pressed castor oil.

You will need 1 teaspoon of cold-pressed castor oil, 1 teaspoon of almond, coconut, or jojoba oil, a clean mixing bowl, and a clean applicator or cotton pad. If you want to make a DIY beauty treatment quickly, use commercially available castor oil as your starting point. You need to put the castor oil into a clean bowl, add a matching amount of the carrier oil you will use, mix the two oils in the bowl, and apply a little to the area you want to treat. Now, leave for the time required for effect before rinsing off. You will need about five minutes to make this quick DIY beauty treatment with castor oil.
