Shea Industry in Northern Ghana Gets Boost ...

Hey all,

Our Shea Skins pure, unrefined shea butter is sourced from the Northern Region of Ghana so I thought I would share with you this little article about what's happening in that area.

The article is entitled Shea Butter Industry Gets Boosts.

Shea Butter Works As a Night Time Facial Moisturizer

Use Shea Butter As A Nightime Moisturizer

With No Oily Residue

This week I visited my chiropractor, and he had me on the table laying face down with my face positioned on a disposable thin white material, like the ones used in many doctor’s offices . When I emerged I noticed all the oil from my face which had been transferred onto the paper.

Yes, I don’t deny it. It was shea butter oil.

Good News, Bad News and the Shea Butter Solution

Well the good news is that shea butter really does moisturize the skin and keeps it feeling soft. It protects your face from the winter’s cold, which was why I had applied so much of it to my face that morning.

The bad news is that I really don’t like my face that oily when going out in the day. The solution I know is to start to use my pure, unrefined shea butter at night and treat it as a nighttime moisturizer and facial crème. I’ve done it that way many times before and find that the skin still retains the moisture and sheen even after my morning shower.

I can see how people can use this heavy oil for medicinal purposes to rub into aching arthritic joints, to rub onto crusty heels and other rough spots that need healing.

Shea is also good for the after bath total body rubdown from head to toe (which I mentioned in my last shea butter blog post). Especially if you combine it with the use of an organic soap product to bath with. It’s like a bath made in heaven. The part I really like is that I know there are no harmful chemicals in either the organic soap or the pure, unrefined shea butter I use on my skin.

And that sets my mind at ease and allows me to use the bathing experience to totally relax and feel secure and carefree.

Now that I have discovered the luxurious and calming benefits of organic soaps, I plan to add them to our Shea Skins line, as well as the black soap that I mentioned in the article, “Managing African American Short Hair Styles”.

O...by the way, our Shea Skins Body Shoppe is now open. Go see for yourself.

Til next time,

Shea Butter in the Winter Protects Your Face Very Well

Shea Butter in the Winter... Shea Butter for the Feet

During the winter months, I could not live without my shea butter.

Some weekend mornings I have to be out the door by 5 a.m. and I always layer my skin with pure, unrefined African shea butter. I can feel the cold hit my face and try to get in, but the shea just repels it.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that shea butter works wonders on the feet too, when you use it.

A lot of times we get too busy in the shower during the week because we are running late or are out of time. So we neglect even taking the time to wash our feet, let alone putting a little shea around the heels to moisturize them when we get out.

That's the reason I recommend a once a week bath with a full body shea rubdown after emerging from your "bath then shower" regimen.

During this weekly rubdown, you can take a few extra minutes on your feet to truly moisturize and pamper them with a massage using the healing and protection properties of shea.

Yeah shea butter does work...but you gotta use it.
