Q: Can I use castor oil on my face every single night?
A: Yes, if you’ve patch-tested and your skin tolerates it. Start with 3–4 nights per week and increase as needed.
Q: Will it clog my pores or cause breakouts?
A: Castor oil is rated 0–1 on the comedogenic scale for most people. If you’re very acne-prone, use sparingly or only on the body.
