Beauty Tips 2 (Shea)

Shea butter and Fruit

In case you dont know yet,...
Shea butter is one of Nature's wonders, and it is a special one at that.
 Shea butter is full of nutrients, including vitamin A, which has many healing properties and has been known to aid in treating blemishes, wrinkles, eczema and dermatitis, as well as burns and even stretch marks. Shea butter is also
packed with antioxidants like vitamin E , and other ingredients,making it an anti-inflammatory, which is why it works so well at moisturizing and soothing all types of skin (and can be found in skin and hair products galore).

.......And i just discovered that wonderful things shea butter could do,check them out below:

Shea Butter as a Make-Up Remover:

     Apply a small amount of shea butter in palm, massage until melted. Then use as make-up remover. Careful attention should be used to avoid the eyes, then rinse off after.






Shea Butter Facial:
   STEP 1. Apply a generous quantity of Shea butter on your face. The idea is to let it sit on your face, not get absorbed, so you'd need a much larger quantity than the regular application. Massage with your fingers in circular motions, applying pressure in problem areas of your face (spots, blemishes, scars). Let this sit on your face for 5minutes. (You could keep it on for as long as 20minutes if you have the time)
STEP 2. Now over the Shea butter, apply a good quantity of your facial scrub and scrub your face in easy circular motions. If you do not have a facial scrub with lots of beads, Sugar would be a good replacement here. Just take a level spoon of sugar and apply over the Shea butter on your face and scrub.
STEP 3. Do not wash off immediately. Allow to sit for another 2minutes just so the Shea butter and Scrub mixture can penetrate your already open pores.
STEP 4. Now wash off with warm water. This would help open up your pores even more.
STEP 5. This is the perfect time to have your Face Mask work its magic. At this point you have had a good dose of vitamin E and moisture from the Shea butter and your pores are ready to accept whatever is given to it. If you do not have a facial mask, the natural route would be best!
Apply honey, or lime, or egg white, or avocado to your face and leave on for 5 minutes. These are all natural and work effectively on your skin. For best results, wash off mask with warm water....
