Shea Butter Weekend Work-out

Shea Butter Weekend Work-out

Are you working out this weekend? If so, you probably know the benefits of a great workout. It helps restore energy, maintain a healthy weight, and even improves one's mood. You probably also know the effect a great workout can have on the muscles. If you workout, chances are you've had more than your fair share of muscle aches. What is there to do? You have to workout to stay healthy, but the muscle aches are enough to make you want to throw in that sweaty towel! Well, before you get rid of your workout equipment and gear and trade it in for a universal remote, try the following tips to help ease you aches and pains:

STRETCHING

This is really important. It limbers you up and prepares your muscles for the stress of a workout. When you fail to do this, you risk some serious muscle aches that can drive you crazy. Make sure you stretch each time before you begin a workout. Also, stretching after a workout can really help prevent muscle aches as well. It is a great muscle ache remedy.



MUSCLE BALM

Purely Shea Shea Butter is a sort of healing cream that will help a whole load of problems and muscle aches are one of them. Rubbing this on before you begin a workout can really help prevent muscle aches. Not to mention the good skin benefits that will come with it. After you've showered up, you can rub more Purely Shea Shea Butter on to combat the pains of tired and sore muscles. A great idea is to melt the Shea Butter until it's comfortably warm, and rub this into your skin, massaging your muscles. Not only does the rich, warm Purely Shea Shea Butter feel sinfully good, but you can practically kiss those muscle aches goodbye.

One more great thing you can do to get rid of your muscle aches with it is to melt some and put it into a hot bath. This has the same effect as when you rub it on your skin, but with the added benefit of a relaxing hot bath. Soak in this for as long as you want, and then remember to rub more Purely Shea Shea Butter on your skin when you get out.


Be Sure to enjoy your weekend workout and combat muscle aches with Purely SheaShea Butter !

Today is testimonial Thursday here at Purely Shea. Read what some of our customers have to say: I have suffered from Eczema and various skin rashes for many years. Using Purely Shea shea butter daily for a couple of weeks really healed my skin leaving it so soft-even in the middle of winter! Krystal B. Indianapolis, IN I purchased some of your organic shea butter almost a couple of weeks ago and have been using it every night. I cannot tell you how happy I am with its effectiveness. My feet finally have smooth pretty pink heels! It is just wonderful and I will be happy to tell everyone about your product. Nothing has ever worked like this, thank you for making it available. Claudia D., Santa Fe, New Mexico With years of old acne scars on my face and back, I am finally thrilled to see these scars slowly disappear before my very eyes. My friends and family keep telling my how great I look and how smooth and clear my skin is. Your product is a definite answer to my prayers. Erica T., Anaheim, CA After an intense workout my muscles were very sore. I massaged your shea butter over my entire body and an odd thing happened. I began to feel this wonderful warming sensation all over and within a couple of minutes my body felt great! I use your product before each workout. I love this stuff and hope you'll offer it in larger sizes really soon. Robert T., Chicago, IL My daughter gave me Purely Shea products for a Mother's Day present and I am so very happy with how it leaves my skin super-moisturized and it really improved the look of my skin just after 1 use.

Surprising Uses for Shea Butter

Here at the Shea Butter Blog we are always telling you about the wonderful uses for Shea Butter on your skin. Well we did some research and wanted to share with you some other ways Shea Butter is used throughout the world.

People living in the semi-arid zone of sub-Saharan Africa who until recently, have had few native sources of edible oil or fat, have traditionally used shea butter in large quantities. It is used as follows:

• for frying
• adding to sauces
• medicinal applications 
• for lanterns
• and for cultural purposes at ceremonies, like births, weddings and funerals.

The demand for vegetable fat in the western marketplace grows, and shea butter is now commonly used in the production of cocoa butter equivalents in the EUROPEAN UNION as

• chocolate
• other confections
• margarine

Who knew that your favorite skin care product may also be in your fine European chocolate bar?!

Shea Butter for Shaving & Shea Butter for Tweezing

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 PURELY SHEA 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

Combat Parched Winter Hair with Shea Butter

Winter is here and the cold weather can dry out your hair and damage it beyond repair. Check out the tips listed below to help get you combat parched winter hair.









1. Shampoo Less


excessive shampooing can strip natural oils from the hair so it is best to shampoo every other day or less frequently, if possible, unless you exercise regularly or work outdoors.



2. Nix the Heated Hair Appliances


In order to avoid damage caused by hair appliances, it is best to let your hair air dry whenever possible. Blow-drying can dry out the hair and damage it even more. When using hot rollers or a flat iron, apply a light protective hair product to the hair to lessen the damage.

3. Increase Circulation to your Scalp


Massage your head daily for 5-10 minutes to promote blood flow to the scalp and improve the quality of your hair. This increases the circulation and stimulates the scalp while spreading natural oils throughout the hair.



4. Deep Condition Hair with Shea Butter


This thick and rich cream is great for parched dry hair. Melt Shea Butter, and apply to hair as a hot oil treatment after shampooing. Comb thru and rinse for silky soft tresses.





5. Eat Right


Finally, be sure to eat enough protein, B vitamins and drink enough water to stay well hydrated.

Eczema and Shea Butter

Shea Butter for Eczema

Eczema is a type of skin condition causing extreme inflammation and irritation
Simply anything and everything touching the skin can activate eczema. First, it is ALWAYS important to contact a professional health-care provider to determine the best treatment plan and if drugs are needed. Although Shea Butter is not a drug, many physicians recommend it to their patients suffering from eczema.

As eczema dehydrates the skin, the best thing to help heal eczema is by making the skin recover its moisture withholding ability. Shea Butter is one of the superb means of invigorating our skin cells so as to help them recover their moisture preservation ability. Unrefined certified organic shea butter has intense moisturizing effects and also has an extremely powerful ability to heal the skin.

While you apply Shea Butter as a medication for eczema, use a judicious quantity of to the parts of the skin that are influenced by eczema. After you apply shea butter on a part of the skin, ensure that the butter penetrates beneath the skin surface. Massage gently as you put on the shea butter. The huge proportion of unsaponifiables( the healing fraction) present in Shea Butter add to its capability to help bring relief to eczema as well as other skincare disorders such as psoriasis, severe dry skin, wounds, and rashes.
