10 Reasons to Use Shea Butter

Shea butter is a thick butter for the skin that can be used for so many things.

The 10 most famous are

  1. Hydration : Shea butter is an excellent moisturizer that penetrates deep into the skin. It keeps the skin soft and supple, which is especially helpful in the colder months.
  2. Skin Rejuvenation : Thanks to the rich antioxidants in shea butter, such as vitamins A and E, it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  3. Soothing irritation : It has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and irritation, ideal for sensitive skin or after shaving.
  4. Promotes wound healing : Shea butter can help speed up the healing process of minor wounds, cuts and scrapes.
  5. UV Protection : While not a substitute for sunscreen, shea butter provides some natural protection from the sun.
  6. Dry hair treatment : It can be used as an intensive conditioner to revitalize dry and brittle hair and add shine.
  7. Reduce Stretch Marks : Regular use of shea butter can improve skin elasticity and thus make stretch marks less visible.
  8. Softening Rough Spots : Used on elbows, knees and heels, it can help smooth out these areas.
  9. Relief from Eczema and Psoriasis : The soothing properties can help relieve the itching and discomfort associated with these skin conditions.
  10. Natural Lip Balm : Shea butter can be used as an effective lip balm to heal and soften dry and cracked lips.

With these versatile uses, it's no wonder shea butter is a favorite in natural skin care.
