Unconventional Ways Of Using Body Butter
It is impossible to undermine the importance of moisturized skin. Well-hydrated skin is a must to promote a healthy skin barrier that makes the skin soft to the touch. But, talking about skin hydration, you cannot miss out on the importance of body butter. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘body butter’? How is body butter different from body lotion? Have you ever wondered why do you need body butter? Well, this blog answers all your questions.
Body butter is a skin moisturizer known for its intense hydrating properties. Body butter contains a high amount of natural butter ranging from shea, kokum or cocoa butter to oils like lavender, almond, coconut, jojoba to nourish your skin. It helps in minimizing skin dryness and achieving healthy and better-looking skin.
The most notable feature of body butter is its thick texture which makes it different from a body lotion. Body lotion tends to have high water content and liquid consistency, which feels light on the skin. In contrast, body butter is creamier and offers intense hydration.
Other than skin moisturizing, You can put natural body butter to use in many unconventional ways, such as the following.
Handy Makeup Remover:
Body butter can be a lifesaver if you are a minimalist, out of makeup remover, or in a hurry. This is a two-in-one solution. Body butter glides smoothly onto the skin and moisturizes the face while safely removing the makeup. To use it as a makeup remover, apply a small amount of butter to a cotton ball and gently wipe your makeup off your face. Lastly, apply enough pressure to take off the makeup.
Diminish The Appearance Of Stretch Marks And Scars:
The fatty acids and nutritious vitamins present in natural body butter are suitable for revitalizing the skin. This further helps in improving skin complexion and minimizing the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Perfect For Taming Curly Hair:
In today’s world, people are always in time crunch. Nobody has got extra hours to spend shampooing, masking or oiling hair daily to tame frizziness in curly hair. Hence, let me give you a quick solution to maintain a healthy and frizz-free look. The use of body butter on hair can add a little grease and moisture to curly hair keeping frizz at bay. It helps in creating softer curls and tames the hair naturally. Make sure to choose coconut oil-infused body butter for better results. To apply on hair, firstly, take a small dollop of body buttercream into your hand. Then, let it melt a little and rub it into your hair. Lastly, use lukewarm water to wash your hair with a small amount of mild shampoo.
Pamper Your Feet:
Are your heels cracked or feel itchy or dry? Did you have a long tiring day at work? Have you worn your high heels all day, and now your feet hurt? Have you been barefoot for long hours? Well, if it does, it’s time for a bit of pampering. Take a warm salty foot bath, pad your feet nicely with a towel and massage a scrumptious amount of body butter into your soles to release your feet from any stress. I suggest using lavender oil-infused body butter for foot cream as it has unique relaxing properties.
The Ultimate Cuticle Saver:
The natural body butter can instantly hydrate the fingertips. In addition, the butter adds a protective layer around cuticles and prevents cracking, drying and infections. Massage a tiny amount of butter into each cuticle to keep your nail folds healthy.
