Mary’s Pick: Pure Shea Butter – Raw Goodness
Why I Love It:
Let’s be honest. As we age (gracefully, of course), our skin needs a little more tender, loving care. Enter shea butter, my secret weapon. Unrefined. Earthy. Medicine for the soul of the skin.
No additives, no perfume, just nature doing its thing. Pure, raw shea butter melts onto the skin like a warm, soothing balm, and leaves it feeling soft, supple, and glowing. Truly.
How I Use It:
I use this butter daily. After a shower (or anytime, really). On dry feet before slipping into sandals, on elbows, hands, and even my hair. When my knees hurt after a day of trekking around, I pamper them with a deep massage using shea butter. And yes, it’s the only thing I use on my face.
Bonus: A tiny tin goes a long way, and it doesn’t leak in your luggage (if you pack it right!).
Where to Get It:
You can find pure shea butter with no added oils or other additives in markets in many West African countries, and also in shops and malls. You can find it in African stores in the United States, the UK, and other countries. And of course, you can order pure shea butter from online retailers.
Your skin will thank you for it.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a 2000-step skincare routine to treat your precious skin to the love it deserves. Just pure shea butter made with love and tradition.
So the next time you reach for additives and preservative-laden lotions, think about reaching for something a little more in tune with pure and natural goodness.
