Shea WHAT??? The cooler way to moisturize. ;)

So it's no surprise that WHAT we put ON our bodies, is just as important as what we PUT IN.  I know it doesn't seem like it would be, but it is.  We are covered in skin (hopefully) and our skin  is porous, and absorbs the ingredients we slather on.

I am NOT GONNA LIE.. I am not perfect in this area.  I still have some of my favorite beauty products that I haven't turned the corner on.

However, I make as many household products as clean as I can! :)


And I've found moisturizers to be pretty easy to convert.

One of my favorite ways to moisturize is with SHEA BUTTER!!  And NO, it's not because my middle name is Shea.  Well.... maybe a tiny bit why.

But it's also because it is NATURALLY derived from the seed of the Shea tree.  And doesn't need to be altered to be useful. When it is extracted and prepared without the use of chemicals and  100% pure, it is and is often referred to the 'skin's best friend'.

It's an all natural vitamin A cream and has a number of benefits for the skin.
Made from a large amount of fatty acids, it proves to be one of the best natural skin products and has been linked to improving:

-dry skin
-skin rashes
-skin peeling
-blemishes and wrinkles
-itching skin
-sunburn
-skin wounds
-rough or cracked skin
-stretch marks
-muscle fatigue
-eczema and dermatitis

and it's just straight up super-moisturizing.


BUT, not all Shea butter is created equal.  I get MINE off Amazon and it is 100% pure, raw an unrefined.  It doesn't need to be heated or chemically altered and should be a uniform beige color, not green, brown, or white. Just beige. If it's got a funny smell, it's the right one. Don't worry, the smell disappears after you apply it. ;)

I'll be REAL with you... it's not the MOST convenient moisturizer.  It has to melt in your hands (like any other butter) before applied to your skin. And even then, it's not super silky smooth to rub on.  But the result is worth it.  I have soft, moisturized, EVEN skin and PEACE that I'm not applying chemicals to my LARGEST ORGAN. :) '




Give it a shot.  It's fairly inexpensive, lasts forever, and a little goes a long way!

I keep a bowl next to my bed and use the it as my after-shower moisturizer and my night cream.

So far, so good!!
