In this podcast, we will explore how incorporating Castor Oil into your slugging routine can help transform your skincare regimen, providing the natural, lasting hydration and luminous skin you’ve been searching for. 

Slugging might sound a bit strange, but it's actually a game-changer for your skincare routine. Traditionally, skin slugging involves applying a thick layer of a petroleum-based product, like vaseline, to your skin before bed to help keep moisture locked in.

Where did it get its unique name? It is thought that ‘slugging’ came from the glossy, slug-like finish the oil creates on your skin. Pretty interesting, agreed? 

The aim of skin slugging, particularly for your face, is to help create that dewy, youthful-looking glow that has inspired the growing TikTok trend.

The primary benefit of slugging is its ability to provide long lasting hydration to the skin. By applying a thick layer of an occlusive agent like petroleum jelly, Castor Oil, or a rich moisturizer, you’re helping to create a barrier that locks in moisture.

This in turn helps to prevent the natural oils and water from evaporating, potentially helping your skin to stay plump-looking and hydrated for longer periods.

When it comes to selecting the perfect product for slugging, Castor Oil is a game-changer. Known for its rich, emollient properties, Castor Oil does more than just lock in moisture—it nourishes your skin from within

Also, Castor Oil helps to  to draw moisture to the skin and lock it in place. This can create a hydrating layer that may leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed, especially when used overnight.

Some other benefits of using Castor Oil for your slugging skincare routine are:

Castor Oil promotes firmer-looking skin:

Castor Oil, rich in nourishing fatty acids5, can help enhance your skin’s appearance, giving it a firmer and more refreshed look. With regular use, your skin may take on a revitalized, youthful glow.

Castor Oil reduces the appearance of fine lines:

The moisturizing qualities of Castor Oil offer deep hydration, which may help your skin appear smoother and more refined. By supporting your skin’s natural beauty, Castor Oil can contribute to a graceful aging process, possibly helping fine lines and wrinkles look softer and less pronounced over time.

Castor Oil cleanses dirt, oil and impurities:

In addition to providing nourishing hydration, Castor Oil serves as a gentle yet supportive cleanser. Its pure, clean beauty benefits help to lift away dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin, making it a wonderful all-in-one addition to your skincare routine.

In this podcast, we will explore the real deal about ‘organic’ bamboo fabric and why other options such as organic cotton may be a better choice for the fabrics of your life, including clothing and Castor Oil Packs. 

Bamboo is an incredibly versatile plant that’s making waves for its many uses. From sturdy furniture and beautiful flooring to bedding and more, it’s clear that bamboo is a powerhouse of a plant. Its fast growth makes it a sustainable choice for various products. 

However, when it comes to clothing, bamboo might not be the best option. While it’s marketed as eco-friendly, turning bamboo into soft fabric often requires harsh chemicals, which can be problematic. In fact, ‘organic bamboo’ can’t actually be certified organic because of the heavy use of toxic chemicals when it’s being processed.

When choosing materials for Castor Oil Packs, bamboo fabric might seem like an eco-friendly and soft option at first glance, however, there are some reasons why it may not be the ideal choice for this particular use:

1. Absorbency: Bamboo fabric is known for its moisture-wicking properties, but when it comes to Castor Oil Packs, a less absorbent fabric is best. This is because the Castor Oil is meant to absorb into your skin, so Castor Oil Packs work best with a material that isn’t super absorbent when held snug against the skin for an extended period of time.

2. Durability & longevity: Castor Oil Packs are intended for repeated use over time. Bamboo fabric, though sustainable and biodegradable, may not hold up as well to frequent wear and tear associated with regular Castor Oil Pack usage.

3. Natural properties vs. synthetic blends: While some bamboo fabric is close-to-natural, most varieties are blended with synthetic fibers for added softness and durability. Castor Oil should only ever be used with organic materials touching the skin for Castor Oil Packs.

At Queen of the Thrones®, we’re all about supporting your wellness journey with products that you can truly trust. That’s why when it comes to our Castor Oil Packs, we opt for the best: organic cotton.

1. Premium quality for your skin: Your skin deserves the best, and organic cotton delivers just that. It’s soft and gentle, making it perfect for something as nurturing as a Castor Oil Pack for your self-care.

2. Materials you can trust: Trust is everything, agreed? This is especially true when selecting the products you use to care for your body. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, it’s a pure, natural choice that aligns with your commitment to natural, consumer-conscious living.

3. Supports your skin’s natural balance: Unlike synthetic fabrics, organic cotton is breathable and hypoallergenic. It helps maintain your skin’s natural balance, supporting those with sensitive skin, and ensuring comfort during your Castor Oil Pack self-care time.

4. Environmental & ethical considerations: Choosing organic cotton isn’t just good for you; it’s good for the planet too! It supports sustainable farming practices that protect our environment.9 Sounds wonderful, right?

In this podcast, we will speak about how Queen of the Thrones Castor oil is your best wellness tool for your oil pull routine and to have a clearer-looking skin.

When most people think of oil pulling, they imagine swishing oil around in their mouth to support oral wellness. However, this ancient practice can be adapted for skincare, offering a fresh twist on its traditional use.

The concept is surprisingly simple: oil pulling for your face involves using oil- such as Castor Oil as a cleansing agent to help remove impurities from your skin.

In essence, both oil pulling for oral care and oil pulling for the face have the same process. By applying oil to your face and gently massaging it, you help to dissolve dirt, excess oil, and other pollutants that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. This can lead to a clearer-looking complexion, support breakout-prone skin, and give you that healthy-looking glow.

The benefits of oil pulling are:

• Moisturization
• Cleansing of skin & clogged pores
• Improved appearance of fine lines & wrinkles

Incorporating oil pulling into your skincare routine can offer numerous benefits. Using non-comedogenic oils like Castor Oil, provides a gentle, yet supportive cleanse, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while keeping skin hydrated, soft and glowing.

Its nourishing properties and ability to help cleanse pores, make it a valuable addition to your skincare regime

Oil pulling is a centuries-old tradition that’s making a modern comeback. This ancient Ayurvedic technique is believed to help detoxify the body and support overall well-being.

When you engage in oil pulling, it may activate enzymes in your saliva that are thought to absorb various toxins, including chemical, bacterial, and environmental toxins from the bloodstream. These toxins are then thought to be expelled from the body through the tongue.

Castor Oil is a powerhouse of nutrients and has been used for centuries in traditional home remedies, including oil pulling.

According to Ayurveda, there's a theory that the tongue is linked to different organs like the kidneys, heart, lungs, small intestine, spine, and more. And the practice of oil pulling is thought to aid in the elimination of toxic heavy metals through saliva.
