Natural Skin Care Natural Skin Care Means Keeping Your Skin Moist
The single most important factor in keeping your skin healthy is keeping it moist. Dry skin is not only rough and prone to scaling and cracking, but it is also much more likely to become irritated and thus develop unsightly blemishes. As we grow older, our skin changes. It begins to lose its capacity to retain moisture. As a consequence, our skin becomes drier, more wrinkled, and spots and growths may appear. Mother Nature has thankfully nutured plants whose butters and oils will both moisturize and heal our skin. Nothing is Better than Shea Butter for Natural Skin Care Although there are many plants that produce moisturizing butters and oils, shea butter is superior because it not only contains a high moisturizing fraction, but also contains an extraordinarily high healing fraction. This healing fraction revitalizes skin cells so that they regain their moisture retention capacity. Because of these powerful properties, shea butter is nature's most effective skin care product. The Healing Fraction: In early adulthood, our skin cells begin to become more porous and less elastic. When a moisturizer is applied, it hydrates the cells, but the cells quickly lose the moisture. The essential oils we add to Karite Gold work synergistically with the shea butter's healing fraction to restore the skin cells' elasticity. As the healing progresses, the cells continue to admit moisture as before, but after the healing are better able to keep it from escaping. The Moisturizing Fraction: Shea butter is a particularly good moisturizer because it penetrates the skin quickly, while leaving it feeling soft and smooth with no oily residue. To experience the benefits of natural cosmetics, apply a moderate amount of Karite Gold daily. After you have coated an area of your skin with shea butter, spend some time making sure that the shea butter works its way down under the surface of your skin. Move your fingers in a circular motion as you apply the shea butter. Click here to find out how you can order our shea butter products.
