A 45-YEAR-OLD woman has shared the secret to her youthful appearance, and it doesn’t break the bank.
She said she barely has any fine lines under her eyes – thanks to a cheap beauty buy that has been her go-to for ten years.
Reddit user Witty-Impact2893 praised a budget-friendly item for its multi-purpose skincare benefits.
She shared how she uses it for hair growth and anti-aging in a post.
The affordable item in question is castor oil, which many beauty lovers swear by as a powerful natural agent.
There has been tons of hype around castor oil for years.
It’s been used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, boost elasticity, and is an anti-inflammatory serum.
The Reddit user said she has been using the product for ten years and does not plan to stop anytime soon.
“I’ve been putting castor oil on my lids, lashes, and eyebrows daily,” she said.
Her castor oil routine also came with an added benefit after a decade of use.
“I have hardly any lines under my eyes, and [my] lashes and brows still look full,” the 45-year-old explained.
However, some people couldn’t believe that such a cheap beauty buy could have that much of an effect.
“It’s so basic and inexpensive. I don’t know if I trust it,” one commenter admitted.
Castor oil can be purchased on Amazon for less than $10.
A four-ounce bottle jar the GreenIVe – 100% Pure Castor Oil is retailing for $6.75.
TikTok user Katie shared how the oil was a useful part of her daily skincare regimen.
She first used a clay mask and then followed up with castor oil as both a cleanser and a moisturizer.
Katie also credited the ingredient with helping combat wrinkles and puffiness, soothing sunburns, and healing her acne.
The oil also has been used to combat hair thinning and promote growth.

Another beauty guru took to Reddit and revealed her DIY oil hack for growing her eyelashes when she was a broke college student.
She said castor oil, coconut oil, and olive oil have properties that support follicles and promote circulation.
Cosmetologist Ghanima Abdullah previously spoke to The U.S. Sun and shared her advice for treating hair shedding.
She recommended Plantur Hair Tonic because it contains castor oil and caffeine, which increases hair growth.
“Castor oil helps with hair loss because there’s a component in it that mimics the hair growth compound PGE2,” she said.
