A. Castor oil is a great remedy for dry skin in babies. It acts as a great moisturizer and can help keep your baby’s skin smooth and supple.Castor oil can be used to treat warts or blemishes that may occur on your infant’s skin. You can apply warm castor oil on the affected area. However, make it a point to check the temperature of the oil before applying it on to your baby’s skin.Castor oil can be used to massage your baby. It can be used on their tender areas as well.Another great advantage of castor oil is that it promotes hair growth in children. Applying castor oil on to your baby’s scalp will eliminate dry spots on the baby’s scalp and give his hair a nice sheen. Castor oil can also help strengthen the roots of his hair.Castor oil can also provide relief from colic. Ensure that you heat a pot of water before you place the bottle of castor oil inside it. Apply the oil in a clockwise direction and ensure that it isn’t too hot.
