Have you heard of the viral trend called Botox in a Bottle? If you have, read on; and if not, we will fill you in. Recently, the internet has really caught on to all of the valuable therapies that Castor Oil and Essential Oils have to offer. With that, a recipe has been floating around that people are calling a miracle wrinkle eraser. Now, we can’t guarantee that this blend is equal to Botox, but we can tell you why this recipe is great for the skin and what you need!

Additionally, Castor Oil reduces inflammation and increases collagen production, which makes it ideal for anti-aging products. Studies have even shown that Castor Oil may be effective in treating infraorbital hyperpigmentation aka dark circles under the eyes.

Jojoba Oil

Golden Jojoba Oil is a wonderful carrier oil because it is abundant in vitamins E and B, as well as antioxidants. Jojoba mimics the sebum of your skin, so it balances moisture and oil production. It is also known for improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles. We also love that Jojoba is hypoallergenic and does not clog pores.
