1. Cleanse the Skin:
Start with clean skin. Wash the area with a mild cleanser to remove any dirt or impurities.
2. Warm Shea Butter:
If the shea butter is solid, scoop out a small amount and rub it between your palms to warm and soften it.
3. Apply to Skin:
Gently massage the shea butter onto your skin. Focus on dry or rough areas, such as elbows, knees, and heels.
4. Facial Use:
For facial application, use a minimal amount and apply it evenly. It can be used as an overnight moisturizer or as a base for makeup.
5. Sunburn or Irritated Skin:
Shea butter can be soothing for sunburned or irritated skin. Apply a thin layer to provide relief.
1. Melt or Soften:
If the shea butter is solid, you can melt it slightly by placing the container in warm water or warming it between your hands.
2. Section Hair:
Divide your hair into sections to ensure even application.
3. Apply to Hair:
Massage shea butter into your hair, focusing on the ends and dry or damaged areas. It can be applied to both damp or dry hair.
4. Styling Aid:
Shea butter can be used as a natural styling aid for dreads, twists, braids, or to tame frizz. Apply a small amount to styled hair for a polished look.
