A healthy skin is part of good health and wellness; indeed, when there is an issue with the skin, it usually affects wellness. This is why skin health is important and the skin needs care like other parts of the body.
One of the ways to care for the skin is by ensuring it gets body butter regularly. Many people use body lotion and serum but these are lightweight options that can help thirsty skin fuel up on moisture, they don’t do the best in terms of skin hydration.
And if you do not use body butter on your skin, then, your skin hydration process is below par. Body butter is luxurious and loaded with ingredients that help your skin feel supremely soft and supple, nixing flakes and busting dullness.
Body butter is an ultra-thick moisturizer formulated with a higher amount of oil or fat compared to lotions and creams. Often, shea butter or cocoa butter is the major ingredient and it may be combined with other botanical oils but lotions are emulsions of mostly water with less oil, and they are lighter and spread easily while creams are emulsions of more oil and less water; have a thicker consistency and tend to stay on the skin’s surface a little longer than lotions, but less than butters.
Body butter may be so thick that it requires a little bit of manipulation in the hand in order to soften it up for application. Body butter has a lot of benefits; it moisturizes, not greasy and keeps the skin soft, smooth, glowing and healthy.
The high fat content of body butter provides deeper moisturizing than water-based moisturizers, it is not as greasy as ointment but provides an occlusive barrier over the skin without giving the greasy feel of an ointment.
Body butter have little or no preservatives because most body butters are made without water; it hydrates the driest skin, nixing dry flakes and cracking while providing a supple, soft feel.
Body butter works well when used on damp skin as it helps to soften up and spread evenly and also help lock in the moisture in the skin.
If you deal with chapped lips, dry hands, or rough feet, you can apply body butter to these areas before bed. Use gloves and socks on your hands and feet to help further lock in the moisture and reduce product transfer. And in a short time, the part will heal and the skin will become glowing and smooth.
