Slice of Nature Argan Oil Review

We saw this review of our Argan oil by one of our customers on youtube.

Using Shea Butter as an anti aging

From our previous article ‘What is Shea Butter?’ we saw that shea butter nourishes the skin with high levels of Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy while Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator. Hence, they help in preventing premature wrinkles and facial lines. They are also helpful for sun damaged skin.

You can therefore use shea butter on your face as a day moisturizer as well as a night cream. Before application, cleanse the face, towel dry it and apply a small amount of shea butter, a little goes a long way. Massage it in with the tips of your fingers paying special attention to your forehead, the corner of your lips, your nose and the ears. You will notice the glow with continued use. Shea butter is non greasy, non comedogenic and will not clog your pores.

3. You can also use shea butter as a moisturizer. Rub a small amount of shea butter on your palms and apply to your hair with special attention to dry ends. You can do this two to three times a week and apply to your scalp once a week.

4. As a hair sunscreen, apply a small amount of shea butter to your hair before swimming to protect it from chlorine. Also apply before spending a lot of time outdoors in the sun. After swimming, remember to shampoo and condition your hair.
