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. Use It on Damp Hair
Apply shea butter to slightly damp hair to lock in moisture and reduce frizz. It works best as the “cream” in the LOC (Liquid-Oil-Cream) method.
2. Melt It Before Applying
Warm a small amount in your hands or melt it slightly to make it easier to spread—this prevents build-up and ensures even coverage.
3. Focus on Your Ends
The ends of your hair are the oldest and driest. Shea butter helps seal them and prevent split ends or breakage.
4. Use It as a Pre-Poo Treatment
Apply it before shampooing to protect your hair from harsh cleansers. It adds a layer of moisture and keeps hair soft after washing.
5. Mix with Oils for Custom Blends
Combine shea butter with oils like coconut, castor, or olive oil to make it lighter, easier to use, and even more nourishing.
1. Warm It Up First
Rub a small amount between your palms until it melts—this helps it spread evenly and absorb better into your beard and skin.
2. Apply After a Shower
Use shea butter right after washing your face or showering. Your pores are open, and your beard is clean, making it the best time for moisture to lock in.
3. Focus on the Skin Too
Don’t just coat the hairs—massage it into the skin underneath to help prevent itchiness, flakes, and beard dandruff.
4. Use It as a Leave-In Conditioner
Shea butter works great as a natural, leave-in conditioner. It softens coarse hair, promotes growth, and reduces breakage over time.
5. Combine with Oils for Extra Benefits
Mix a dab with Castro Oil to boost hydration, encourage growth and add shine.
1. Wait Until It’s Healed
Don’t apply shea butter to a fresh tattoo. Wait until the initial healing phase (usually 3–5 days) is over and scabbing has started to reduce.
2. Use a Small Amount
A little goes a long way. Apply a thin layer to avoid clogging pores or trapping bacteria under the skin.
3. Keep It Clean
Always wash your hands and the tattoo area before applying shea butter to prevent infection or irritation.
4. Moisturize Consistently
Use it daily to keep your skin soft, reduce itchiness, and prevent peeling. It helps keep your tattoo vibrant and hydrated.
