Stewarding Skin: Whipped Shea Body Butter Recipe

Whipped body butter has been life changing for me. Last year I noticed I dealt with a lot of dry skin, flaky skin, and eczema like skin rashes. The store-bought lotions did not cut it for me, I knew I needed to do something different to steward my skin better. Since I started making body butter at home, I have noticed a big improvement in my skin and hair. My skin stays hydrated longer; the butters support my natural skin barrier by holding in moisture to prevent water loss. Because of this the dryness subsided, flakiness is gone, and the eczema like rashes disappeared. For my hair, the butter softens my strands, tames frizz, and adds natural shine. My natural curls are much more defined, and my twist outs last 2-3 weeks now.

Shea Butter provides long-lasting, deep hydration for the skin and hair. It is rich in vitamins and antioxidants which makes it perfect in managing dry, rough patches on the skin. It helps to protect the natural skin barrier which in turn improves skin texture by softening it, reducing inflammation, and enhancing elasticity. Shea butter can help soothe skin irritation like eczema, stretch marks, scars, stretch, rashes, or other concerns.
