sheaLOE its aloe vera and shea butter im guessing? that sounds like my kind of moisturizer!! So it doesnt leave a greasy feel on your skin? and does it absorb quickly?

i want to use a natural moisturizer in the morning, but i think shea butter would be too heavy on those "makeup" days...so would the shealoe be suitable for combantion to oily skin and better to use before applying makeup?

and thanks for letting me know about this product!:)

[melenasoleil]

yes thats exactly what it is! nope, no greasy feel at all! just apply it right after washing your face and then go on about your regular makeup application. and i would say yes, its definitely ok to use on oily or comb. skin cuz its so light. but im still; going to do a test run with that shea butter idea =) glad i could help! anything else you need don't hesitate to ask!

hi there my face adores shea butter!<33

and im waiting for my black soap to arrive!

I was wondering if you use the shea butter in the morning too?

lyk as a moisturizer b4 you put on your makeup and stuff like that?

[melenasoleil]

well no, i never actually used my shea butter before applying my makeup, however i DO use sheaLOE butter, which is lighter and more suited for using as a base for makeup. but if you are using shea butter in the morning and not wearing makeup thats great because it works well as a sunscreen. BUT.. i think just to be sure, i will try using just a bit of shea butter before applying my makeup, and i'll let you know how that goes

[ripsbabegirl32]

is cocca butter good to

[melenasoleil]

yes cocoa butter works too. i've never used it as a moisturizer, but i think it might clog your pores if you use it all over your face. shea butter is more like oil because it melts on contact, and it absorbs well into the skin without clogging your pores and breaking you out. in fact it seems to dry out zits and pimples.. that's been my experience.

Thanks so much for this info..i started using the shea butter as a night cream but i didn't see a difference untill about after four months! I'm glad i didn't give up on it..now i don't need to wear makeup coz my skin is so beautiful. Where do you buy the shealoe that you use in the morning?

Gr8t to see a skin care regime video n the person talking is not caked in makeup so at least we can see the results. cheers

[liznewark]

just discovered your page and thanks for the info! The difference between refined and unrefined shea butter is not the color alone. Shea butter, in its natural form, ranges in color and scent. You can tell it's refined if it's white and has no scent, but all light beige colored shea butter is not refined. As long as it's not like white white and it retains that scent, then it's still unrefined.

I face brush works really well too with the black soap...I got mine from Sally's Beauty for like $2 and its great

[deycallmemiss89]

I have used Dudu-Osun black soap in the past and the problem with that I found is that it never properly rinsed off. I bought two Nubian Heritage soaps, the Lemon one & the Coconut, and immediately I noticed the difference--they rinsed clean! I'm scared though to go into the African store near me though because I know they're going to push for Dudu-Osun only when it comes to black soap, but I need something that's going to come off my face...

Shea butter is for every ethnicity's skin. I'm indian, and im very much into holistic living, so i prefer using natural products whenever i can. I love that african profucts are so full or natural ingredients, and its not like %1 this and %1 that. its eather %100 or nothing! Shea works very well on the body and face.
