Out of Africa Pure Shea Butter Verbena. Review

Hello,
today I would like to review a Pure Shea Butter with Vitamin E from Out of Africa. I like this product a lot because it moisturizes, nourishes and repairs the skin like nothing else. 

Out of Africa Pure Shea Butter Verbena

I personally don't like the smell of pure shea butter which is very nutty and strong. That was the reason why I chose verbena scent which smells nice and fresh. It has a delicate citrus scent.
According to the manufacturer this product is ideal for all skin types, especially for a sensitive skin and people who have fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, psoriasis, and eczema. It is recommended for prevention and reduction of stretch marks, wrinkles and scars. It will also soften the skin and restore its natural elasticity. For the best results it should be used two times a day.

I have been using it for my hands because they were very damaged. I was using too harsh washing liquid and pads of my fingers became so dry that the skin started to peel. It looked and felt awful. Regular hand creams wouldn't help at all. But then I started applying Out of Africa shea butter and voila the skin has been repaired.  
But the shea butter can be used everywhere on the skin where you want it: anywhere your skin needs extra hydration: elbows, knees, hands, etc. 
The texture of Out of Africa Pure Shea Butter is thick and rather heavy so it doesn't absorb too quickly. Because of that I would recommend using it when you are at home or as a night treatment. Also be careful with clothing or bed sheets as it may leave greasy stains.

We need to remember that pure and unrefined shea butter hardens in cool temperatures and softens in warm temperatures. Before the application it is best to rub the product between the palm of the hands for a few seconds. Otherwise the application may be a bit difficult.
Out of Africa Pure Shea Butter packaging is very simple yet nice looking, retro-like. The butter is packed in a metal tin.
I got my shea butter from iherb because here in Finland pure shea butter is really expensive. For this product I have paid less than 6 euros for 57 grams.

Badger Damascus Rose Antioxidant Body Oil with lavender and chamomile, best body face treatment, organic moisturizer, anti wrinkle treatment

Hello,

today I am reviewing another Badger product for the body.

I have been using it as a body cream after a shower. For the best results I apply it  before toweling off when the skin is still wet. This way it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue. Sometimes I use it as a nourishing facial night treatment. It is also good for the massage. It smells divine. I can smell roses, lavender an chamomile. The skin is moisturized, nourished and of course smells lovely. I find it very relaxing as well, it helps me to calm down before sleeping.

Your skin will thank you!:).

I got it from iherb as usual. Please feel free to use my code TAP615 and get up to 10$ off your first order.
