Recommendations for use and possible contraindications

Shea butter is good for caring for dry, mature, aging skin. With age, the elasticity of the skin is lost, wrinkles form on it, its surface becomes dry, flaky, with visible vascular networks.

Important! Shea butter stimulates tissue regeneration, activates metabolic processes, and protects cells from the influence of negative factors. By moisturizing the skin, its turgor increases, normalizing collagen synthesis helps improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out and skin rejuvenation occurs.

Shea butter, when used regularly and properly combined with other cosmetics, can stop skin aging, and can even partially reverse the process. The rejuvenating effect is clearly noticeable if you use shea butter for wrinkles around the eyes . The skin in this area is delicate and thin and needs special care. The components of a natural remedy obtained from shea fruit help restore the natural balance in cells. The skin is saturated with moisture and nutrients, metabolic processes are activated in it - such processes lead to the elimination of small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.

• expensive.

How to choose

Which product is best to buy depends on many factors. The most common mistake when purchasing is following the advice of friends. The choice must be made independently, based on the individual characteristics of the person. How much a product costs is sometimes not important. Even a budget purchase can lead to a positive result. How to make sure you don’t regret the purchase? It is necessary to take seriously the selection criteria from leading cosmetologists. The list is small, but you shouldn’t ignore it:

1. Aroma. It should not cause tension or irritation. Let it be neutral or acceptable to you.
2. Allergy to certain components or individual intolerance. The purchased product does not need to be immediately applied to the most vulnerable areas, which include the eyes. It is necessary to first apply the substance to the elbow bend. Wait a few minutes. If unpleasant sensations do not appear, you can safely use the product to achieve your goal.
3. Material for making the container. It is advisable to give preference to glass flasks. The composition in such containers is well stored, maintaining its original characteristics for a long time.
4. Best before date. All experts say in unison that using expired products is strictly prohibited. Therefore, when purchasing a product, carefully study the information on the packaging.

Which company is better to purchase products depends on personal preferences. Here recommendations are not always appropriate. But the question of where to buy a product is not idle.

It is best to visit specialized retail outlets, get acquainted with the offered assortment, new products, communicate with a professional sales manager, get practical advice, and even use samples.

The second option is to order products online in an online store. For many, this method is more acceptable due to saving money and free time, but it is very risky. There is no guarantee that instead of an expensive composition from a leading global manufacturer, you will not receive a cheap Chinese counterfeit, which, at best, will not help achieve the desired effect, and at worst, will cause irreparable harm to the health or appearance of the user.

Basic application rules

The need for eyelid care

The area around the eyelids is quite sensitive. It is distinguished by its subtlety and transparency. There are no muscles, and therefore there is no protection from the negative influence of the external environment. It is the area around the eyelids that shows aging. Crow's feet appear. This indicates a decrease in the elasticity of the dermis. The reason for this condition lies in the following:

1. Lack of regular nutrition. Youth is not a reason to neglect cosmetics. It is always necessary to take care of yourself, starting from the age of 20. This is the age when the first problems may appear. Constantly smiling leads to the appearance of noticeable depressions. Lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, stress, and constant grievances can cause morning puffiness. Defects can be eliminated with regular eyelid care. There is nothing complicated about it. It is enough to purchase high-quality care products and spend a few minutes on application.
2. Neglect of healthy sleep. A person should sleep soundly for 9 hours. This time should be enough to restore the body after a hard day at work. A person must reboot, turn on protective mechanisms, cleanse tissues of toxic components. Lack of sleep leads to the appearance of circles under the eyes, puffiness, and bruising. This indicates the presence of a large number of toxins in the body.
3. Poor nutrition. The epithelium requires a sufficient amount of vitamins and microelements. Their absence leads to fading and the appearance of wrinkles. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to introduce into the diet foods rich in vitamins E, A, and B. It is advisable that the vitamins be found in food and not in pharmaceutical preparations. You should be careful about maintaining water balance.
4. Lack of physical activity, sedentary lifestyle. To avoid stagnation of blood in the vessels, it is necessary to perform physical exercises daily. Insufficient activity can lead to dizziness, swelling, and weakness. It is necessary to “drive the blood”, remove toxins and excess fluid from the body, and saturate the epithelium with oxygen.

Tips for women

Masks with shea butter should be prepared only immediately before use; prepared formulations cannot be stored..

Before preparing the mask, you need to melt it in a water bath. If you plan to use it in its pure form, you need to take a small piece of oil in your hands, wait for it to melt and then apply it to your face.

If you are making a one-component oil mask, you need to apply the product in a thick layer..

Before use, you can massage your face a little to improve blood circulation and ensure deeper absorption.

Features of using the product

Natural shea butter has a minimum number of contraindications. But this does not mean that the product is universal.

• It is recommended to use the batter 1-2 times a week for a month. Next, a break of a month or a month and a half is required;
• You should not stock up home remedies in large quantities for future use. It is much more efficient to prepare fresh mixtures for each application;
• Apply the product only to cleansed skin;
• Be sure to melt the shea butter before using. A water bath is ideal for this;
