I Tested Castor Oil, Vaseline & Camellia Oil on Skin Over 60 — A Clear Winner!

🔗Every step from my Seoul salon chair, shown in a picture, in one book: https://soojinparkbooks.com I tested castor oil, Vaseline and camellia oil on skin over 60, with three of my salon regulars, for thirty nights. I'm Soojin, a makeup artist and esthetician from Seoul, and I've spent thirty years with my hands on faces. In this video, I share what these three oils really do on dry skin, which one has a real Korean history, my own castor oil mistake, how the thirty-night test was set up, what happened to dryness, fine lines, the crepey neck and the pillow, three claims you'll read online and what the research says, the clear winner, and the Korean way to use it, step by step. Most importantly, patch test anything new for seven to ten days, change one product at a time, and remember that dry skin after sixty is very common. This was a small salon test, not a clinical study.
