Shea butter, everyone knows. But it has very interesting virtues that can sometimes be forgotten.
Here is a list of 7 benefits of shea butter, to discover or rediscover.
Shea butter comes from the fruits of the tree of the same name. It is found in West and Central Africa in wooded savannas. Its name means butter tree.
In Africa, it is used in cooking, health and beauty, in particular because of the difficult climatic conditions that put a strain on the epidermis. It also finds its place in sacred rituals. True white gold, it has been exported to Europe thanks to its proven benefits.
I use shea butter on eczema of Louloute and my grandmother uses it for her psoriasis . It immediately softens, soothes and above all, protects all skin types. It must be used daily. Guaranteed allergy-free !
All winter, I do not hesitate to apply it on my face. It moisturizes and fights wrinkles. Shea butter effectively fights the aggressions of winter cold or household products, so I also use it for my hands and nails.
Say goodbye to orange peel skin and stretch marks! Shea butter will become my best friend! It will correct all my little flaws. And in addition I have a great excuse for my darling to give me delicious massages!!!
I use shea butter to heal my chapped lips winter and summer and it is an excellent base for my lipstick. It's also amazing for protecting and moisturizing my baby's bottom and whole body. And finally, it acts as a sunscreen by protecting against UV rays or relieving sunburn.
Shea butter beautifies my hair. I use it as a mask when I want to grow my hair. It is indeed very effective on dry ends, preventing them from becoming split too quickly. On all of my hair, it replaces the gel and prevents drying out (especially when I use a hair dryer in winter).
Especially on the legs and feet. We rarely think about it, and yet! For cracks, but also corns or warts. Applied in the evening at bedtime, it removes those ugly calluses without having to sand. Personally, I also put it on my legs after waxing or as a scrub.
Shea butter treats small sores. Like for example insect bites or small burns. It prevents small blisters from appearing.
