Many Ways To Use Shea Butter

Hello everyone!
I'm elated to share my first post in this community. i have always loved simple skincare that really works and lately Shea butter has been my go-to for so many things.

I used to get confused about the trendy skincare routines that requires about six to seven steps . These days, i lean towards natural products like Shea butter that has stood the test of time. It has been my granny 's body cream for years and her skin is glowing.

I have been using it for a while now and the more i use it, the more impressed i become.

Here is how i use it and i hope someone finds it useful.

As Body Moisturizer

After bath, in the morning and evening, i rub shea butter mixed with coconut oil in ratio 3:1 all over my body. From my neck to my feet. It sinks into the skin and and leaves a soft glow. It seals moisture and makes the body softer .

It is great on areas like the elbow, knuckles,and knees. Mine used to feel rough and dull but now shea butter has helped to smoothen them with regular use.

As A LIp Balm(No More Cracks)

My lips peel often due to weather changes. Lip balms helps but it doesn't last long. So, i started applying a little Shea butter on my lips in the morning and before bed. The good part is that, it doesn't feel sticky or oily.

It works like a charm! My lips stay moiturized all day. No more peeling or tighteness. My lips feel so soft . I don't even have to worry if i mistaken lick it because it contains no chemicals or flavors.

For My Feet

Let's talk about my feet. Due to the nature of my work, i walk alot and and I'm exposed to dusty floors daily. My feet used to get dry and cracked.

Now, every night after washing my feet, i rub Shea butter all over my feet and wear socks to lock in moisture. By Morning, my feet feels soft and smooth and ready for another busy day.

For Dry Hands After Washing

Like I said earlier due to the nature of my work, my hands and feet are often dusty. After cleaning with water they get dry. I now keep a small jar of shea butter close to me and rub a little after washing my hands or after washing dishes . It softens and mositurizes my fingers and palms right away.

After Shave For Legs Abd Underarm

I used to get itchy after shaving my legs and underarm but now applying Shea Butter on those area after shaving calm these areas and has helped to reduce irritation and bumps.

To be honest, i don't see myself giving up Shea butter. It is now a lifestyle .
It is gentle, natural, affordable and effective. And my skin loves it.

If you have never used Shea Butter in any of these ways i mentioned above. Maybe you should give it a try. Start small and see how you skin responds to it.

Thank you for reading. Have a beautiful weekend.
