For me, it’s the smooth, soothing sensation it leaves on my skin. My skin feels nourished and moisturized without any of the stickiness or greasiness that can result from other
skin products. When I started using shea butter on my skin, I could immediately feel the deep and penetrating effects. But what really had me sold is the long lasting impact I saw over time. My skin feels more resilient and softer at the same time – soft but strong. In the winter months, I enjoy the enduring hydration of the shea butter balms and lotions and in summer months, I rely on shea butter as a skin smoothing treatment to keep my skin nice and presentable - no ashy elbows here ;-) .
