Natural Skin Care - What is the Difference?

Have you ever wondered why you should consider using natural products on your skin? Just what is the difference anyway? Our skin is the largest organ we have and what we put on the outside of our body can be absorbed into our bloodstream. Think about the external patches that are used on the skin for birth control or to help stop smoking.


When I look at the long list of ingredients on the back of one of my favorite lotions I previously used I can't pronounce many of them and have no idea what they are. One of them has over 30 ingredients listed. Do you know what Propylene Glycol, BHT, and Methylparaben are and why they are needed?

So I ask myself this question: If I can use a product that is made with ingredients found in nature that I know and understand, and it works as well or better than what I have been buying, then why not give it a try? What can it hurt and how much difference could it possibly make? I know what these products are:

Shea butter: Naturally rich in Vitamins A, E and F. Helps heal cracked and chapped dry skin, hydrates and moisturizes.

Cocoa Butter: Used as a moisturizer for dry skin and to prevent stretch marks. Cocoa Butter can also help with eczema and dermatitis.

Beeswax: This wonderful natural product has been around as long as the honeybee. Beeswax contains a lot of vitamin A and helps soothe and soften skin by keeping natural moisture in.

Honey: This nectar has been called liquid gold because of health benefits inside and out. A natural, organic product that has no chemicals or preservatives. It hydrates the skin and helps with aging because of its antioxidants.

Sweet Almond Oil: Helps skin stay supple, silky and soft. Who doesn't want that!

With all that being said, have you ever tried a solid lotion bar? No water is added to these natural ingredients, so no preservatives are needed. These wonderful beeswax lotion bars stay soft while left sitting out at room temperature. They last a long time and you can tell a difference in your skin right away. They help keep your rough, dry skin soft, smooth and silky! I would recommend giving this simple luxury a try!

  1. African Shea Butter is the best of the natural vegetable butters, including Cocoa Butter. It is great for rejuvenating and moisturizing the skin. It contains the essential vitamins needed to make the skin look and feel smooth, soft, and healthy. The fatty acid it contains helps protect the skin from the wind and cold. It can also be used as a sun screen. (It has a rich content of vitamins E and F.)
    Shea Butter can also be used to fight the effects of aging, and it repairs rough, damaged skin. Got any stretch marks, wrinkles, or blemishes? Apply a little Shea Butter daily and watch those blemishes disappear. It is also good for diaper rash and some use it as a hair
    conditioner. My daughter’s face was badly scarred from chicken pox. After trying Cocoa Butter with no great success, I tried Shea Butter.
    Amazing! Stiff muscles? Arthritis? Shea Butter improves muscle relaxation and stiffness. Shea Butter is a great product because of it versatality.
