WEATHER RELATED SKIN ISSUES

We live in IL; winters are dry and can be brutal on our skin. Add in hard water, and washing our hands excessively and using practically pure alcohol sanitizer due to the pandemic, and our skin can really suffer.

In fact, weather can actually cause your skin CRACK, and that can get painful. 😩 When areas like soles of your feet, and hands start cracking, you need to heal it, straight away. Here is how...

Today, I want to shine the spotlight on a power-house product that is the base of our decadent body butter --> fair trade, unrefined shea butter. Click below to read more about how widows in Ghana provide for their families by harvesting shea butter.

If your skin is feeling the effects of the weather, use straight shea butter (no other ingredients‼️) to start the healing process.

Shea butter is not a luxurious treat like our body butter, but more of a utilitarian product. It is a bit greasy and best used at night, so you don't get grease all over your keyboard and your life🤣

Shea butter is truly the first step to healing your skin snd preparing it for a new routine. Check out these uses for shea butter ...

• for cracked feet, massage a thin layer of shea butter into your skin and go to bed. It will do it's work overnight and you will notice the cracking fade after 3 or 4 days.

• use as a lip balm. Make sure to also use a bit outside of your lip line, to avoid chapping and wrinkles that can form, causing premature aging in that area.

• use on your cuticles. I pick mine and it's an awful habit, 😬 but putting on shea butter every time I feel like picking is helpful. There is not much to pick at if your skin isn't dry. Make sure to massage a thin layer all over your hands at night, too, before going to bed. Your hands will feel AMAZINGLY soft in the am.

• use on tough spots like soles of feet, elbows and knees.

You are on your way to healing your skin!

Our fair trade shea butter from Ghana just arrived! I cannot wait to whip up a batch of body butter using this.

I am happy to be able to help widowed women workers in Ghana support their own livelihood & children through what we do.

When we buy this high quality unrefined (that means all the vitamins and nourishment remain intact) shea butter, women in Ghana are able to send their children to school. THAT is something to feel good about!

Thank you for your testimonial, Alissa! Alissa is a professional hair and makeup artist in CA, and the fact she loves our body butter means EVERYTHING!

How happy are you in your own skin? At the end of the day, that is what it is about. The skincare I make will help elevate how you feel, and get you on the path to feeling SO comfortable in your skin that you won't need makeup or anything to cover up your skin.

The beauty industry doesn't really like customers that feel comfortable in their own skin ... they just want to be able to sell you the next innovative and expensive thing. The truth is, real beauty is much simpler and it shines from within.

PS - this is the face of a middle aged mom and it's my true and authentic self...No filters bc I want you to see the real me!

Something I hate about COVID-19 is having to wear a mask and hide my lipstick and smile. What do YOU hate about COVID? How do you feel in your skin?

Do you dry brush your skin? It's your largest organ... treat it right. Dry brushing is a great treat for your skin. A spa will charge you over $100 for this service, but you can buy a dry brush for $4 and do it at home for free, whenever you like! Give it a try. Your skin will thank you, and you will also be boosting your lymphatic system.

Dry Brushing for Skin: Benefits & How to Do It the Right Way Dry brushing is an age-old process of brushing skin with a natural brush to stimulate lymph flow, improve circulation, exfoliate skin, and help reduce cellulite.

Has the pandemic left your hands feeling like sandpaper? With washing our hands numerous times everyday to stay well, it can really toughen our hands, to the point of being painful.

Treat yourself to some chocolate mint body butter. You can use it on your entire body, but it will REALLY heal your hands, especially when applied before bed. You will feel the therapeutic benefit and start the days off right!

The beauty/personal care product industry is unregulated and no laws have been passed to protect consumers since 1938… That is nearly 81 years ago.

Not even the baby oil you put on your children's bodies are subject to rules on toxicity. If you think the FDA has your back, you are VERY mistaken.

Think of all the ingredients in your makeup, body lotions and potions and how many products you use each day. A lot of those products contain ingredients that have been known to cause cancer, and birth defects. Be careful about what you put on your skin and research a bit further. This is the reason I love to make my own body butter, and buy from companies like Beautycounter, that are transparent about their labeling and processes, and stand up for our health.

Whipped up a batch of body butter this weekend! It smells good enough to eat (like chocolate), and technically, YOU CAN, since the ingredients are organic food grade quality, but we don't recommend it!

What are some hair/skin home remedies you have heard of or tried? Feel free to mention even the ridiculous ones.

Hey everyone. No need to spend money on makeup remover. Use organic olive oil. Not only will you be removing makeup, but also softening/conditioning the areas your makeup is removed from.

As always, be very careful using it around your eye area. Make sure your eyes are closed as you clean. PS - don't use coconut oil near your eyes👁. It will burn🔥
