Sometimes, you look at your skin and think, \u201cGoodness gracious\u2026I can’t leave the house with this dry skin.\u201d It can feel unfair to look at people who have silky smooth skin that glistens in the light. It just looks so healthy, right? Maybe they tapped into the secrets of skin care, or maybe they use powerful natural ingredients to promote natural moisture. Yeah, we like that last theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moisture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Body butters have increased in popularity, and for good reason! Most body butters are made with Shea, cocoa, and mango butters, all of which are immediately absorbed by the skin, giving it a beautiful glow that makes you scream, \u201cMy skin is soooooooo hydrated!\u201d What you lather on your skin should be beneficial, not harmful like most chemical skin care products. Parabens and other preservatives have been linked to certain cancers, whereas cocoa, Shea, and mango butters have been linked to sufficiently moisturized skin<\/a>. This hydration can be attributed to their emollient properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nourishing Vitamins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All body butters contain omega-3 fatty acids<\/a>, which have moisturizing properties and help to reduce inflammation<\/a>. Shea butter<\/a> also contains vitamins A, E, and F, which nourish the skin<\/a> and promote moisture retention. The oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids in Shea butter also help increase the skin\u2019s natural production of collagen<\/a>, which prevents the skin from drying out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Up With Citrus Fresh Essential Oil?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why choose between lemon, orange, or grapefruit essential oils when you could have a combination of mandarin, tangerine, lemon, orange, spearmint, and grapefruit essential oils? Citrus fresh essential oil is a fantastic blend that contains beta-pinene, linalool, and limonene, all of which help to support healthy skin tone<\/a>. For those who enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy, inhaling citrus fresh essential oil vapor has been known to promote relaxation<\/a>. Many people use it to wind down before bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
