Shea Butter for Dry Skin
|
To moisturize and heal dry skin, apply a moderate amount of Karite Gold whenever your skin feels dry. After you have coated an area of your skin with shea butter, spend some time making sure that the shea butter works its way down under the surface of your skin. Move your fingers in a circular motion as you apply the shea butter.
Causes of Dry Skin
As we grow older, our skin changes. It begins to lose its capacity to retain moisture. This loss of moisture retention capacity is intensified by climatic conditions - sun, wind, and low humidity. As a consequence, our skin becomes drier, more wrinkled, and spots and growths may appear. Aside from being somewhat unsightly, dry skin can be itchy and, if the skin becomes extremely dry, can become painful.
Remedies for Dry Skin
The remedy is to treat the skin with substances that enhance its moisture-retention capabilities. In early adulthood, our skin cells begin to become more porous and less elastic. When a moisturizer is applied, it hydrates the cells, but the cells quickly lose the moisture. If substances that work synergistically together to restore the skin cells' elasticity are applied to the skin, then as the healing progresses, the cells continue to admit moisture as before, but after the healing are better able to keep it from escaping.
Shea butter is a wonderful agent for revitalizing our skin cells so that they regain their moisture retention capacity. Unrefined shea butter not only contains a high moisturizing fraction, but also contains an extraordinarily high healing fraction. To enhance the shea butter's ability to moisturize and soften, we have infused it with 2essential oils: lavender and sandalwood.
Ingredients
This product contains:
Shea Butter has been used for centuries in Africa to keep skin healthy and beautiful. Shea Butter's almost magical effects are due to the fact that it has both a high moisturizing fraction and an extraordinarily high healing fraction.
Lavender is the most versatile of essential oils; its ability to regenerate damaged skin cells is remarkable.
Sandalwood oil is highly efficacious for treating dry and sensitive skin; it has been used in the East for its perfume and as a relaxant for over four thousand years.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is used to give our shea butter a softer consistency. But it has beneficial effects for your skin as well; its unique constituents nourish parched, sensitive skin, and restore it to a more youthful and supple appearance.
Karite Gold Shea Butter for Dry Skin is a totally natural skin care product.
