For most of us, winter is nearly over and it’s time to take advantage of nature’s secrets to getting your Beautiful Black Skin back to its best — silky smooth and moisturized with a radiant glow. But guess what, extreme heat can be just as brutal to your skin.
After a season of harsh coldness and extreme heat, a little extra TLC is what your skin really needs…
It’s no surprise that mother nature generally knows best when it comes to nourishing and caring for your skin, after all she’s had a few million years to get it right.
For centuries natural ingredients have been used in the pursuit of health and beauty, and it’s with these ingredients that we’ve harnessed some of their benefits…
Shea butter — Shea butter has been used by African-Americans and their ancestors for centuries. It’s an incredibly moisturizing substance that’s extracted from the nuts of the Karite tree in Africa.
Shea butter has the ability to calm and soften your skin. It makes a great moisturizer when used as a body butter and when added to sea salt and some sugars, it’s a great exfoliant for your skin.
Oates — Oates have been used in skin care for centuries. They’ve been used to heal the skin when used as mask and adds nutritional value internally for the skin.Finely milled oatmeal has been proven to be a natural emollient that works wonders for dry skin, providing moisture, preventing dehydration and creating a protective barrier for your skin’s surface.
Some of the special properties or benefits I should say of using oatmeal in your skincare products, is that it relieves redness and leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and healthy.
So now that you are peeling back some of the layers of clothing as Spring roles into your life, consider adding Shea butter as a moisturizer to your skincare regimen and Wild Oates and Honey as a hydrator for your beautiful black skin.
