Shea Butter too greasy

[FreedMind]

If u talkin bout dis yeh

Back when I first started using the black soap Shea butter combo this was what I was getting too. It was leaving my skin soft, but it would never really absorb in my skin, sorta just sat and made me look like I was sweating or some shyt. Also, it definitely messed with your pores, if I got a pimple I could NEVER put Shea butter over it cause it would get worse..

Ended up buying this one like a year ago, and haven't looked back. The difference in quality is so much better breh, the butter starts dissolving on your fingers almost immediately and rubs well into your face -- something that never happened with the yellow one, shyt would just kinda chill on my fingers and face and stayed thick.

Also, when I get a pimple that won't clear in a day or two, I put hella Shea on it now lol. Helps so much with the swelling and redness of the pimple, and it gradually phases out with time. Really, this shyt got my face looking so good that I don't even trip about the occasional pimple flaring up.. The soap keeps it clean, while the Shea reduces how bad it looks during the day.

They have it in ivory and yellow. I'd suggest switching breh.

What's a good facial moisturizer / lotion for the face/neck brehs?

Tamanu oil my dude trust and believe. It's light and it makes the skin smoother than a babies bottom. No joke!

I use it all over and have gotten numerous compliments when women I exchange money at checkout. I bought an 8 oz cold pressed bottle for $30 on ebay in October and still have half a bottle left with myself and my two children using it. A little goes a long way.

Stop fukking with that hard raw shea. try and find whipped shea its much easier to put on and light on the skin. My lady infuses ours with fragrances. This what it looks like when she is done. nice and light. When she was out of school she sold this as a hustle. People love it.

The honey is to cleanse ur face?
Yes, honey cleanses and moisturizes.


And u got any brands u recommend for dese oils?
NOW, Tree of Life or something like that. Just make sure it is raw organic/virgin and cold-pressed.
iherb.com Amazon are good places to order but I usually shop at the health food store.


Shea moisture is the best, wut moisturizer/cleanser shud i get from them then?
I just use their regular lotion for face and body. If you have oily skin you can use their black soap lotion (black label) or the shea lotion (gold label)

Sorry yall im retarded so yall gotta explain everything in detail
It's OK, hun.

Since we're on the subject what type of lotion are y'all using?

What I use right not is getting the job done for the most part, but my core area doesn't have that nice sheen to it n/h, it looks kinda dull. I'm trying to see if there is a better product or something I can do better.

I use this whole line for my face. I've been using it for years without complaint. It works very well and gives my face a nice balance. Where as some products have you on either ends of the spectrum: too oily, too dry. This line is PERFECT for me. I use the ADE fruit oil cleanser, the aloe vera toner and the moisturizer with SPF.

Another alternative is apricot oil. I have found it's not as greasy as some of the other oils and you don't look shiny after awhile.

Real raw unrefined shea butter is ivory/beige/offwhite. If it's milk white it's been refined, yellow is from a different tree, called African butter. similar but not shea. The yellow/amber stuff is greasier than real shea. Make sure it's coming from Africa, not the US or Europe which been passing off the yellow one as shea. Same with black soap, the real stuff isn't jet black and isn't rock hard.

For a scentless everyday thing Curel

During the winter I'd go with this. Has a strong scent but never had softer skin in my life. I use it if I'm not going out
