DIY Shea Butter Face Cleansing Balm And Scrub















There is nothing unfamiliar or startling about shea butter. But – despite its familiarity –Shea butter is used as a hydrating ingredient in any natural skin care range. People suffering from dry skin needs extra care for their skin to get moisturized it and shea butter is one of the greatest options to get rid of the dry and flaky skin. But if Shea butter is mixed with some great exfoliating ingredient like poppy seeds, it can help remove dead cells from the surface layers of the skin and prepare the skin to take moisturization and anti-aging or other skin treatments. Let’s take a look at how shea butter face cleansing balm and scrub is beneficial for the skin.




Benefits Of Shea Butter Face Cleansing Balm And Scrub


1. Shea Butter


Shea Butter has shown to be a superb moisturizer, with exceptional healing properties for the skin. It is an all natural healing Vitamin A cream and Vitamin A is very important for many skin conditions including wrinkles, acne, blemishes, and eczema. Additionally, It gets deeply absorbed by the skin and hydrates the skin. Vitamin A is considered as an antioxidant and antioxidants protect skin by limiting the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells. Shea butter can do a lot for the health and appearance of your skin, including reducing the signs of aging. Shea butter has several derivatives of cinnamic acid that exhibit anti-inflammatory properties too.


Vitamin E found in shea butter is a powerfully regenerative, fat-soluble antioxidant. When applied to the skin, vitamin E helps in a number of ways, not the least of which being the prevention and softening of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as providing relief from dryness. Vitamin E helps to bring the softness back into a rough and leathery complexion. It actually helps to mitigate the damaging effects of photoaging, which include dark spots and sagging skin.


2. Castor Oil


Castor Oil has the saturated fats that help the skin stay moisturized, with the fat preventing moisture loss through the skin’s pores. These fats give the skin a healthy, smooth and even tone.  Castor Oil is naturally astringent, so it helps to pull impurities from the skin, making it ideal for oily or combination skin (and even dry skin in lesser amounts).


3. Rose Clay


Some clays can be so drying but rose clay doesn’t overly zap the skin of its natural oils. It absorbs only excess oil from the skin which can clog skin pores. It gently exfoliates dead cells from the skin and makes skin pores clear. It unclogs blocked pores and helps to prevent blackheads and acne. It removes dark spots and other blemishes. It has the power to fill the face of softness and silkiness, due to its high doses of silica, iron, and minerals. It tones and tightens the skin making the skin feel firmer and more supple.



4. Hemp Seed Oil


Hemp Seed Oil is full of elements that essentially act as food for your skin, leaving it nourished and healthy. It can protect against different environmental factors and can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Because hemp seed oil doesn’t clog pores, it’s often thought to be the ideal moisturizer for skin that has suffered from these issues.


5. Safflower Oil


Safflower oil is found to be ideal for improving the quality and texture of skin due to the abundance of linoleic acid.  It is very light in texture and is easily absorbed by the skin. They combine with the sebum in human skin to unclog the pores and reduce rashes and acne.


 6. Beeswax


Beeswax helps to thicken up the cleanser making it more pliable.  It also has anti-inflammatory and protecting properties.


7. Poppy Seeds


It may sound strange, but by adding poppy seeds to a cream, lotion, face wash, scrubs or body wash you actually give the product an additional ability to exfoliate amongst its other purposes. It gently exfoliates the outer layers of the dermis allowing the cream or lotion to better absorb deeper into the skin.


8. Lavender Essential Oil


Lavender essential oil makes skin energized and alive. It does promote blood flow and helps liven up the feeling of your skin. It is helpful for all skin type, as it helps to balance natural oils. That means fewer clogged pores. The soothing ability makes it an essential oil to get relief from the sun damage. The antibacterial properties keep the bacteria damaging our skin away i.e it treats acne and keeps the skin free from blackheads and whiteheads.
