Hey everyone! Just wanted to share how I whip up my shea butter to make it easy to spread and apply during cold winter months or in general. I think doing it this way helps it melt faster with little fiction. I also like to mix other oils and butters to form a creamy consistency. You can enhance the properties in your shea butter with other carrier or essential oils based on your preferences. The coconut oil will end up with a grainy consistency when you’re done whipping because, it was whipped when the oil was liquid but, if you solidify the coconut butter first before whipping it with shea butter, your mixture will be fine.
Shea butter improves your skin texture and helps clear a wide area of skin imperfections such as; blemishes, stretch marks, wrinkles, eczema, dermatitis, and even acne. It provides a great protective barrier during harsh winter months or when the air is dry. It is a natural source of Vitamin A, K, E, & F which are known to rejuvenate the skin as well as repair and protect. Shea Butter can be used on your face because, it wonโt clog your pores and it has antimicrobial properties which will fight any skin infections. Some other known uses for shea butter include:
