Who doesn’t love soft, smooth, and radiating skin? Shea butter is the right ingredient to help you get that lovely skin. Let’s dig into more details.
Shea butter is off-white to ivory-colored creamy butter obtained from the shea tree nuts. Its creamy consistency aids in the easy spread. Shea butter is a holy grail for dry skin, but it is beneficial for all skin types. It is an ideal softening agent because of its high concentration of fatty acids and essential vitamins.
Shea butter has:
Anti-inflammatory and healing properties:
It fights free radicals, reduces the redness and swelling of the skin.
Emollient in nature:
Shea butter quickly soaks the right amounts of fatty acids, creating a soft skin barrier that seals the moisture in the skin.
Antiaging:
Shea butter is antiaging in nature. It makes fine lines and wrinkles less prominent.
Shea butter is perfect for conditioning, toning, and smoothing your face. You can apply raw shea butter on your skin too. But it is advised to opt for formulated skincare products bearing shea butter. Shea butter can be comedogenic, so see if your skin is very acne-prone, and then try to avoid it or use it in minimal amounts.
