5 Reason to Use Shea Butter in Summer

Natural Skin Protection. Face and Body Exfoliator... and Many More...

Summer has arrived, and more people are spending their time outside. While it's lovely to bask in the sun and breathe in some fresh air, too much of it can cause skin problems. It can harm your hair and skin. Shea Butter is an extract of the African Shea tree's nut oil. It is a natural moisturiser that melts at body temperatures and is easily absorbed into the skin. Summer is lovely, but the sun can be harsh on our skin. You can use a single ingredient to protect your skin and repair your hair.

Natural Skin Protection

You can make your sunscreen by combining Shea butter with other oils that have natural sun protection, such as coconut oil or carrot seed oil. Apply sunscreen to your skin a few minutes before you go outside to allow it to absorb.

Natural Moisturiser

It would be best if you replenish the moisture lost by the sun. Shea butter contains two fatty acids, oleic and stearic acids. They are similar to the oils found naturally on the skin. Shea butter is easily absorbed and does not leave a greasy residue. You can either apply Shea butter directly to your skin after being out in the sun, or you can make your body butter or lotion.

Heal and Soothe Sun Burns

If you've had too much fun in the sun, apply Shea butter to sunburned areas. Shea Butter has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe skin and reduce redness.

Face and Body Exfoliator 

Moisturise sun-exposed skin. Exfoliating your skin with a scrub will make it feel softer and smoother. You can make your body scrub with Shea butter, sugar, and essential oils. This will exfoliate and moisturise at the same time. You now have the ideal summer scrub, and your skin will be healthy and hydrated.

Natural Hair Care

UV rays can cause hair to become extremely dry and brittle. After being exposed to saltwater or chlorine, it is critical to replenish the nutrients in your hair. Apply Shea butter to your hair to protect it from the sun and water. You can also use it to conceal any damage. Shea butter is high in vitamins A, F, and E, which are the best hair-repair vitamins for damaged hair. You can use it once a week or more frequently if you need to deep condition your hair for healthy, shiny hair.
