Shea Butter is extremely beneficial to our skin, hair, fingernails, and many other things. While a lot of people are familiar with the healing benefits of unrefined Shea Butter, a lot of people mistakenly think that it’s something that is just for women. That is most definitely not true. It doesn’t discriminate. It loves men too! Here are some great uses that men have for Shea Butter, and it’s amazing benefits.
Shaving:
Shea Butter is especially great for shaving. On sensitive facial skin, using it for shaving is a wonder lotion. It allows the razor to glide smoothly across the facial skin and still allows for a close shave. It also helps prevent razor burn and those little red bumps that shaving can often leave behind. While it is helping men shave, it is also benefiting their skin through some amazing healing properties. Start by using your normal warm water to open your pores and soften the hairs on your face. Then, smooth a generous amount of it on your face. Shave the way you usually shave, and rinse. Use a towel to wipe away the excess Shea Butter. You will notice smoother, softer skin, and easier shaving.
Protective:
It is great for protecting the skin against irritations. For men who work outdoors, or who are athletic, it can be great. Men who experience heat rashes, bumps, or irritation can smooth it on before their workday or sports. Then after your daily shower, you can re-apply. This will help the skin be protected from the usual irritants that can happen, especially for hot weather.
First Aid:
One of the things that it is great for is minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It has healing properties that can help things like this. If you have a minor sunburn, scrape or something else that doesn’t require a doctor’s attention, smoothing on Shea Butter can help it heal more quickly and can also minimize the appearance of scars.
See, guys.
Shea Butter isn’t just a girly product. It has serious benefits that even the most manly man can appreciate!

Shea Butter is not only great for your skin, but it is a great muscle ache remedy. In it’s natural state, unrefined, it is a sort of healing cream that will help a whole load of problems and muscle aches are one of them. Rubbing this on before you begin a workout can really help prevent muscle aches. Not to mention the good skin benefits that will come with it.
After you’ve showered up, you can rub more Shea Butter on to combat the pains of tired and sore muscles. A great idea is to melt the Shea Butter until it’s comfortably warm, and rub this into your skin, massaging your muscles. Not only does the rich, warm Shea Butter feel sinfully good, but you can practically kiss those muscle aches goodbye.
Shea Butter contains an all-natural substance called Stigmasterol (Anti-Stiffness Factor). Stigmasterol is an unsaturated plant sterol found in Pure Unrefined Certified Organic Shea Butter. It is also known as the anti-stiffness factor because it has the ability to relax tired muscles and relieve swelling and muscle tension. Grab some Shea Butter before your next workout to soothe tired muscles!

_Shea Butter should be kept as fresh as possible inorder to
_get the best therapeutic qualities for your skin. Keep your
_Shea Butter product at room temperature. You don’t want to
_leave it at extremely warm temperatures because this can
_cause it to go rancid. You should be just fine if you keep it
_in your bathroom or bedroom, as long as you keep the lid
_tightly closed.
_You also want to make sure that it comes to you in an
_opaque container. This means that the container is
_impenetrable by light. Light can break down the
Shea _Butter, and degrade the healing properties.
Also, make sure that you keep the container lid on tight. If the
Shea Butter is exposed to air for a long period of time, auto-oxidation will occur. This is the chief cause of product break down, and you won’t want to use products that aren’t fresh. Making sure of all of these things will help keep your organic, unrefined Shea Butter fresh and ready for your use. Shea Butter is a truly amazing gift that Mother Nature has given us. Make sure yours stays fresh so it will provide maximum healing for your skin every time you use it.

Hi,
__I am back with our Shea Butter Secret Tip Series. Today, I want to talk about __exfoliation.
__Exfoliating a couple a times a week is important to make your
Shea Butter work
__better. It allows products to penetrate better because it removes the surface
__layer of dead cells that can limit how much of your
Shea Butter gets through. You will notice better moisturization and more supple softer skin if you apply Shea Butter after exfoliating.
Stay away from exfoliating products that contain toxic dangerous chemicals and opt for these natural alternatives instead:
RAW SUGAR
Take a half cup of your favorite in the shower with you and mix it with your body wash. Gently rub your skin in circular motions and rinse well.
This is another great all-nratural way to exfoliate. You can get a special scrub from your local natural foods store OR grab a handful of salt and use it just like the raw sugar in your shower.
MICROFIBER EXFOLIATING CLOTHS
This another great all-natural way to exfoliate your skin. These cloths often come in n organic cotton making it a smooth an easy way to exfoliate without harsh and dangerous chemicals.
Remember to exfoliate 2-3 times a week using gentle circular motions for Shea Butter smooth skin!
Have a Great Weekend!

There are numerous uses for
Shea Butter, and shaving is just one of them. When you smooth
_on this creamy and rich product, you are doing a couple of great things. First of all, you’re
_giving your dry and tired skin a generous conditioning full of natural vitamins that your skin
_will absorb. This prepares the skin for shaving, and provides a healthy protection for your
_skin during the shave.
According to the American Shea Butter Institute, when you shave with it, you reduce the shearing force between your skin and the razor. This makes for a closer shave that is less traumatic to your skin. You might be surprised how smoothly the shave goes when you use unrefined
Shea Butter. Both men and women call a product which reduces bumps and razor burn ‘invaluable.’ That’s because it’s so painful to have the bumps and burn that shaving can cause.
Not to mention the fact that women find it more difficult to wear shorts and skirts with the little red bumps up and down their legs and men are often embarrassed by the unsightly and unattractive razor bumps.
Shea Butter is an amazing product to use for all sorts of things, and shaving is just another great one.

Eczema is a type of skin condition causing extreme inflammation and irritation
Simply anything and everything touching the skin can activate eczema. First, it is ALWAYS important to contact a professional health-care provider to determine the best treatment plan and if drugs are needed. Although
Shea Butter is not a drug, many physicians recommend it to their patients suffering from eczema.
As eczema dehydrates the skin, the best thing to help heal eczema is by making the skin recover its moisture withholding ability. Shea Butter is one of the superb means of invigorating our skin cells so as to help them recover their moisture preservation ability. Unrefined certified organic shea butter has intense moisturizing effects and also has an extremely powerful ability to heal the skin.
While you apply Shea Butter as a medication for eczema, use a judicious quantity of to the parts of the skin that are influenced by eczema. After you apply shea butter on a part of the skin, ensure that the butter penetrates beneath the skin surface. Massage gently as you put on the shea butter. The huge proportion of unsaponifiables( the healing fraction) present in Shea Butter add to its capability to help bring relief to eczema as well as other skincare disorders such as psoriasis, severe dry skin, wounds, and rashes.

A clinical study published by a French researcher F. Renard was conducted in which
Shea Butter was applied by a daily for 4 to 8 months.
Several skin conditions showed major improvements:
- in a few weeks, the rough aspect of a dull – grayish complexion was eliminated, giving way to a smoother, clearer skin.
- combating skin “thinning” for better skin texture: a regenerating effect is observed probably related to the action of the unsaponifiables that are known to reactivate collagen synthesis.
- wrinkles from photoaging due to prolonged sun exposure are visibly diminished in half of the volunteers.
This study proved that Shea Butter is a valuable active for diminishing various aging signs.
