The amount of advertising and marketing that we are exposed to on a daily basis is honestly shocking. 

Just scrolling through Instagram, you will encounter at least 3 ads. Not to mention how our phones are constantly tracking every single step we take.

So, what happens when you start looking for solutions for acne or dry skin? 

You will then be bombarded with ads about health and beauty products nonstop until eventually you spend hundreds on products for your hair, face and body. 

Then, you will set up a routine that you will eventually stop following because of the amount of time it takes and you’re left with a shelf full of half used products and an empty wallet. 

Well, what if we told you that you just have to spend around RM 35 or less for a product that can be used for your hair, face and also your body? 

This miraculous product is castor oil. Click on this link to buy it from Shopee.  

Castor oil is a translucent yellow liquid made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant with many benefits.
