Shea Butter, A Healing Moisturizer For Dry Skin – Luminous Skin
It is used traditionally to soften the skin and keep it from harm. Salt-gatherers, for instance, use it during the hours they spend every day in super-saline water. It keeps their skin from drying out and cracking in their harsh work environment.
Shea butter is an ideal natural remedy for dry winter skin. It is so healing and soothing. Unrefined shea butter is best. It will be a creamy yellow color, with a rich earthy smell (that is neutralized as soon as it makes contact with your skin). Look for soap that contains shea butter. The moisturizing elments of shea butter are preserved through the soap making process.
