I will try and do another before too terribly long.. <br /><br />Meantime. you asked about castor oil and lashes. You are correct in that castor oil is good for hair and lashes. It is actually one of the ingredients in my lash conditioner (see the blog post here http://www.lisaliseblog.com/2013/08/lash-conditioning-tester-giveaway.html <br /><br />Castor oil is quite conditioning for hair. It is a very slow absorbing oil that provides a protective layer helping to seal in moisture – which is its main advantage over other oils. <br /><br />You can also use castor oil to cleanse the skin and it is an effective cleanser for this very reason. :) LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-34337188108807084472013-09-15T19:09:44.770+02:002013-09-15T19:09:44.770+02:00Hi Lise,
Thanks for a very inspiring blog.
I have ...Hi Lise,<br />Thanks for a very inspiring blog.<br />I have a question about Castor oil.<br />I know it's not the day's topic but I hope it's ok anyway.<br />I have heard it should be great on lashes and eye brows. Is it just because it's a thick oil so it's easy to use on lashes and eye brows or has Castor oil some properties other oils don't have for lashes and eye brows ?<br />I would use Castor oil or an alternative oil on lashes and eye brows to keep them healty and if possible give them growth.<br /><br />Can Castor oil give growth or is it just because the lashes and brows get healty and then grow?<br /><br />Thank you very much.<br />Kirsten V<br /><br />I was unfortunately a little to late to participate in the giveaway, due to the time difference. I'm 8 hours behind DK. :-(<br /><br /><br /><br />Eternityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665092001977171600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-57763440664337867612013-09-15T18:59:23.989+02:002013-09-15T18:59:23.989+02:00Hi Olympia - this is great info!

I agree that using more than 2% tincture in a skin tonic can be drying for the skin-- but keeping it at a low percentage gives the maximum benefit of the concentrate without drying. I have a lavender tincture on my to do list! Have you used any of your tinctures for internal use? In teas or such?LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-80416525083739147112013-09-14T12:03:34.352+02:002013-09-14T12:03:34.352+02:00great tips!

They work very well in toners, since mostof them have astrigent function, due to the alkohol used. My favorite one is lavender, and I use it even in perfumes along with essential oils!ByOly Cosmeticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156922861959491780noreply@blogger.com
