Head to Toe Shea Butter Treatments - Part II b


Welcome to Part II b of the “Head to Toe Shea Butter Treatments” series. We mentioned in Part I the many uses of Shea Butter for your hair. Today we’ll talk about some facial options for this miracle cream such as an anti-aging treatment, exfoliation, make-up primer and while tweezing/shaving.

Anti-Aging Treatment
One of the best ways to prevent premature aging is to keep the skin soft and supple by moisturizing daily. Shea Butter keeps the skin ultra moisturized to prevent premature aging of the skin. The high amounts of vitamin A in Certified Unrefined Organic Shea Butter also help to promote epidermis cell development and fibroblast activity. Vitamin E is also abundant in this plant butter serving as an anti-free radical agent thereby preventing wrinkles and sagging.

Exfoliation
Exfoliating allows products to penetrate better. That's because exfoliating removes the surface layer of dead cells that can limit how much of your moisturizer gets through.
For a smooth, all-natural exfoliating scrub grab the following:
1. Organic fine ground sugar
2. Your favorite all-natural facial cleanser
3. Purely Shea Organic Unrefined Shea Butter


While washing your face with your favorite cleanser, once or twice a week add a handful of the organic sugar and a little organic shea butter and lightly massage into skin and rinse. You will instantly notice soft glowing skin! You will also notice that your moisturizers are much better absorbed into the skin.

Make-up Primer
So many people have traded in their toxic, chemical-laden cosmetics for all-natural beautiful mineral make-up.
However, those of us with really dry skin have noticed that mineral make-up left us looking overly dry and cakey. Our Solution? Purely Shea shea butter to the rescue! Apply shea butter sparingly underneath foundation and let it sink for a few minutes to avoid streaking. The result? Glowy and radiant mineral make-up without the ashy dryness.

Tweezing/Shaving
I had my eyebrows waxed and tweezed this weekend. Although they look amazing, it hurt a lot and left a red rash with raised bumps! So it was Shea Butter to the rescue. Within minutes Purely Shea soothed the area and an hour later all the redness and bumps disappeared.Purely Shea is also great for shaving. In fact, premium quality organic unrefined shea butter reduces the shearing force between the skin and the blade. This allows for a less traumatic, smoother, and closer shave. Additionally, since the shea butter continues to nourish and moisturize the shaved area, this eliminates the need for after-shave lotions and creams.Unrefined Certified Organic Shea Butter is a superior shaving cream for the following reasons:

• Conditions and prepares the skin for the shave

• Protects the skin during the shave

• Nourishes the skin after the skin

• Encourages natural healing of the skin after the shave
