Let me tell you about my secret weapon …
Name: Raw African Shea butter
Price: $5!
Where you can find it: Any local beauty store, I have yet to see it at the pharmacy or places like target.
Skin type: Normal, but reacts weird to extreme temperatures (too hot /too cold).
Why I like this product: My skin and the winter don’t get along. This cold weather leaves me feeling dry and sometimes itchy. Itching leads to scratching which leads to rashes and they are not a good look! Sam introduced me to this product about 2 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since . You can use it for just about everything- the label speaks for itself.
I apply this once a day over my entire body (preferably after showering before bed) so I wake up with my skin feeling like a baby’s bottom.
The Shea butter comes sort of grainy and hard so rubbing it between your hands will melt it and make the application much easier . ( or you can count on your bf to leave it on top of a radiator by accident until it melts -which is what happened to me) It doesn’t have much of a girly/pretty scent so I like to throw on some baby cologne after wards.
This product is also great in the summer and can be used as sunscreen, oh and perfect for massages 😉
My partner also uses it as hair gel. His hair stays in place all day, and it leaves him with lush healthy looking hair
Wow cool! I actually just put it in my hair for the first time 2 days ago just to try it out . My hair felt less dry for the day but it was just that one time. I think I’ll keep applying it now to see more results . Thanks for reading ! We really really appreciate it 🙂
my pleasure, you got a great blog 🙂
