Have you been looking for a reliable skin moisturizer that actually moisturizes? Let me recommend one that could prove to be more effective than your typical lotions. I think it even beats the usual natural alternatives like aloe and cocoa butter.

I’m referring to African shea butter. It’s made from the fruit of the shea tree and it definitely works better for me than the usual store bought stuff. Since it’s made from an African plant it is custom made for the skin of African people and people of African descent but I recommend it to everyone.

Use it as a healthier option for your skin. Just as fruits and vegetables are good for your inner organs this is good for your all around outer organ. There are two forms. One is off-white in color. The type mixed with palm oil is more yellowish. As with the African Black Soap give each a try to see which is most effective in resolving dryness for your particular skin type.

If you have calloused feet or ashy knees and elbows start using shea butter. And if your skin is reacting to chemo or other medicines definitely give this a try to recondition it. There are these and a number of other benefits to using shea butter so you can’t go wrong making it a part of your daily regimen.

I prefer the unrefined version that you can buy at the arts fairs at the table of an African or Carribean arts dealer. They often have scents, spices, soaps and conditioners like these as a part of their wares. There are also refined types that you can probably buy at a health store. I just haven’t happened to look for the product there. Either way buy some soon and throw out what you’ve been using. You won’t regret making the switch.
