Randomness

Okay, so I am visiting my family in Connecticut right now and I'm not having the best time. I miss my husband, and my hair got messed up, and to top it off its cold and I bought alot of summer clothes with me. UGHH!!! I should of bought a wig with me or maybe gor my hair braided before I came. But I wasnt even thinking this was going to happen. Its just one of those things.....

So quick question. When you go out of town, What do you bring so this doesnt happen to you???

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is one product that has many uses for me. Shea Butter is contributed to having many positive effects on its nourishing, enriching and toning properties for skin and hair.
Shea butter is known especially for its cosmetic properties as a moisturizer and emollient.Shea butter is known for being

effective at treating the following conditions: fading scars, eczema, burns, rashes, acne, severely dry skin, blemishes, dark spots, skin discolorations, chapped lips, stretchmarks, wrinkles, and in lessening the irritation of psoriasis.Shea butter absorbs rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling.

For Hair:
Apply unrefined shea butter at least twice a week to your hair & once a week to your scalp. It improves hair texture, hair moisture & hair growth. Shea Butter grooms locs.

Apply Unrefined Shea Butter to your hair before swimming to help protect your hair from the chlorine & salt. After swimming, shampoo & condition your hair right away. A little shea butter before & after you dry your hair is a good idea.

For Body:
After you finis showering or bathing, take a generous amount of shea butter to smooth into the skin. Pay close attention to areas that are prone to dryness, any marks that you may want to smooth and lessen the appearance of.

Glycerin

My ultimate beauty secret is Glycerin. I can't get enough of this stuff.


I use Glycerin in alot of different products. Body lotions, conditioners, water mixes. I also use a glycerin- based soap.





What is Glycerin?


Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin.

Glycerin is a water-soluble conditioning alcohol and is an extremely effective moisturizer and humectant. This means that all the usual things to be aware of regarding humectants, curly hair, and the weather are applicable when using glycerin.
Its viscosity and clarity make it a great ingredient to give definition to curls and to smooth the fly-away hair.
Use it in combination with another conditioning agent if planning to use heat-styling methods.
Do not use glycerin right after using a permanent dye on the hair, and consider avoiding it if you use semi-permanent or red color on your hair.

If your having issues of dry skin, or dry hair, this is a product worth looking into. HTH
