I have tried hundreds of moisturizers and probably spent a fortune in doing that. However, my absolute all-time favourite remains shea butter. I use it for my face, for my body, for my lips, for my eyes, for allergies, for my hair, and the list goes on. It is in my eyes the most cost effective natural product, as it replaces several beauty products: facial moisturizer, body butter, lip balm, eye cream, allergy cream, sun lotion, after sun lotion, and several hair products. Shea butter is also anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, helps with collagen production, offers UV protection (SPF 6), includes vitamins A, E and F, and much much more. It can be used on all types of skins, also on kids and babies. And the beauty of it is that one single pot of shea butter lasts for years.
What you will need:
- one small amount of Shea butter (nail size)
What to do:
- Rub the Shea butter in your hands to warm it up.
- Apply to desired area.
In conclusion:
Shea butter is the most versatile natural product there is! Use it as a facial moisturizer, body butter, lip balm, eye cream (anti-wrinkle and bag remover), on your allergies and your scars, as a low factor sun lotion, as an after sun lotion, on a sore nose during a cold, on your pregnant belly to prevent stretch marks, and in your hair to prevent split ends, as an anti-frizz, or as a moisturizing mask.
Please purchase your shea butter unrefined, unbleached, and organic. Store it away from direct light or heat.
