Read on to hear more about our go-to winter moisturizer, and all the benefits of shea butter for your skin.
What is Shea Butter?
Shea butter (butyrospermum parkii) is a plant lipid derived from African shea tree nuts. Rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, shea butter is one of the best skincare ingredients out there for moisturizing, soothing, and healing skin.
You’ll find shea butter in all kinds of skincare products including body creams, body lotions, body butters, face creams, and hand creams. You’ll even find it in haircare products like conditioners and hair masks designed to hydrate and repair dry, damaged hair.
Benefits of Using Shea Body Butter
It Hydrates
If you’ve got dry skin, there’s no better product than shea body butter for hydrating your skin and relieving dryness. Packed with fatty acids, shea butter lubricates the skin and creates an occlusive barrier to keep moisture in. If your skin feels dry, flaky, and generally just dehydrated, slather on a shea butter cream and it’ll feel instantly quenched.
It Plumps
Since it works to hydrate and nourish, shea butter can plump out fine lines and wrinkles while giving skin a fresh appearance. Shea butter contains vitamin A, which helps at speeding cellular turnover and boosting collagen production, both of which can minimize the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
To manifest plumper, smoother skin, reach for a shea body butter and coat your skin in it. According to dermatologists, it may even be helpful at reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.
It Soothes Irritation
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, shea butter can ease swelling and redness in the skin. Many people use shea body butters to relieve irritation while controlling symptoms associated with skin conditions like eczema.
It Helps Fade Scars
Whether you’re dealing with scars from acne or some other kind of skin trauma, a shea body butter can be helpful at nourishing, repairing, and healing skin for a clear and even body. Of course, you will need to use it regularly in order to see the scar-fading effects of shea butter, but even the derms say it can help treat scars.
It’s Suitable for All Skin Types
Luckily, everyone can benefit from shea butter. Dry and sensitive skin types, in particular, will find a lot of relief in a shea body butter. That said, even if you have oily or acne-prone skin, shea butter is non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog your pores and trigger breakouts.
It Pairs Well With Most Other Ingredients
From hyaluronic acid to retinol, aloe vera, argan oil and mango butter, shea won’t interact with any of your other skincare products. It combines well with most other ingredients, even chemical exfoliants. That said, if you do have sensitive skin, you generally want to avoid mixing too many ingredients at once.
