About:
Moms this one is for you. We all like to pamper ourselves every so often. Pure Shea Butter is one of those products you can use alone or get crafty with.
My face is naturally dry and flaky. I have used all sorts of creams and moisturizers. None of them really worked as well as I would have liked. When I got the opportunity to try Pure Shea Butter, I was thrilled.
The Pure Shea Butter comes in a 1 lb container. In an way it reminds me of something I got at the deli. I would have liked a better packaging but overall not that bad. For the actual product paretty neat.
Apparently Pure Shea Butter is naturally thick and hard. All you need is a little bit of heat to loosen the butter and make it spreadable. When I say little, I mean little. The first time I took less then a pea size amount and had enough for three. Now I just rub the top with my finger and rub on my dry patches. Yes a small amount goes a long way. No matter what this will last a really long time.
After applying to my skin directly, I noticed how much smoother my skin felt. I now use this product ever day. You can make your own facial products with it or feel free to add it to another products.
Just a small warning, this does not smell like your other beauty products. The Pure Shea Butter has a nutty smell to it. At first I was not expecting such a smell so it was a little surprising but once I got over it, it was not all that bad.
Pros:
- Softens skin
- Feels good
- A little goes a long way
Cons:
- The smell was a little to natural for me but doable
Recipes:
Although you can apply directly to face, here are some great recipes of beauty products you can make at home.
Leave on Moisturizer:
1/2 cup Pure Shea Butter
1 tsp olive oil
2 drops vanilla
On a low heat, melt Pure Shea Butter. While mixing, slowly add the rest of ingredients and wait to cool. Container and apply to dry patches or whole body.
Facial Scrub:
1 cup sugar1 cup Pure Shea Butter
2 drops pure lavender oil
On a low heat melt Pure Shea Butter. Add in sugar and stir. Add lavender oil. When cooled take a small amount and scrub on face. Rinse with cool water. Can be applied daily.
As these are some homemade recipes, be crafty. Change the oils and scents. What I love about homemade products is the creativity involved. You are in control.
What are some scents you are going to try out?
