Meet Shea Shay

Meet my new BFF “SHEA SHAY” also known as SHEA BUTTER. I may be late hopping on the Shea Butter band wagon but this stuff is absolutely amazing!!! I started using it because I heard it was better than the Cocoa Butter I swore by. I have been using it for over a year now but I’m just realizing all of its endless benefits. 

Being the “product junkie” that I am, I tried some new lip gloss from MAC a month ago and the glitter in the gloss made my lips crack. I put Shea Butter on them and now they are smooth as silk. The beau even likes it…even though he doesn’t like to admit it.  Before going to bed one night I was putting some on our feet and he loved it! Just this week I start putting it on the ends of my hair as a protectant and I love how it makes my hair look and feel!

So what is Shea Butter? 

African Shea Butter is made from the nut of the African Shea Tree. It contains a rich amount of unremovable fatty acid which renders is far superior to Cocoa Butter and other natural vegetable butters. This fatty acid is crucial to rejuvenating and moisturizing the skin. Shea Butter provides all the essential vitamins needed to make skin look and feel smoother, softer and healthier. Its therapeutic properties protect the skin from wind, cold, sun and it helps wounds heal faster. Shea butter stimulates cellular activity, fights the effects of aging, and repairs rough, damaged skin.
