Raw Shea Butter Can Lead To Healthy, Glowing Skin
April 7, 2010 5:03 am skin careWho doesn’t want to have healthy, radiant skin? You can get that and a lot more with raw shea butter. Raw shea butter is produced by using the seeds from a tree native to Africa. The tree’s seeds have vitamins E, A, and F in them which have been proven to moisturize, heal, and revitalize your skin.
Raw shea butter has been shown to enrich and nourish a person’s skin. It makes your skin feel good, and it balances skin chemistry. It soothes chapped lips, skin blemishes, and minimizes facial wrinkles. Raw shea butter is a natural substance, so you can use it every day and won’t have to worry about it hurting your skin. It can protect you against the sun and the cold and even help reduce peeling. Sometimes, raw shea butter is said to be nature’s ideal skin supplement.
Raw shea butter ranges in color from cream to pale yellow and has somewhat of a nutty smell; however over time the scent will diminish. Raw shea butter should be stored where it is dark and cool, as it can become rancid as it ages. Careful storage will keep it from liquefying, as well. Raw shea butter is not ruined if it should happen to melt, however. All you have to do is place in the fridge until it becomes hard again.
Raw shea butter is also good for your hair. It provides moisture to dry and damaged hair and it won’t clog your pores. Some of raw shea butter’s beneficial attributes will be lost after a year or so of storage.
Raw shea butter is often combined with additional ingredients, so look at the label on the jar. Ingredients are listed in the order in which there is the most of a product to the least of a product. So raw shea butter should be listed first or second to be most effective. If you buy something that combines raw shea butter with other ingredients, be sure all the ingredients are pure. You should only use ingredients that are the best for your skin, because it’s the biggest organ and is able to absorb both bad and good ingredients.
