While it`s tempting to pay big bucks for department store skincare products, the world`s most natural skincare ingredient is sitting right in your medicine cabinet: castor oil. Oil cleansing is nature`s way of deeply cleaning and restoring the skin without the use of a single chemical ingredient.

I agree that the oil cleansing method is a terrific deep cleanse for the skin. The snag with it is that it is a too time consuming for every day, and I need to cleanse on a daily basis. So I use products made from other kinds of organic oils.
For removing makeup, for instance, and moisturizing while maintaining the healthy pH mantle of the skin, it's hard to beat organic coconut oil. It absorbs a whole lot easier than castor oil,too.
I haven't tried using castor oil on my skin, or by that, any other natural oils, but this sounds really interesting, especially the reasoning behind this. This somehow encouraged me to try remedies other than my usual commercial skin care products.
I might try this, but perhaps I'll go check with my dermatologist and see if this is suitable for my skin first.
