SHEA BUTTER MOISTURIZER

Go the traditional African way by simply massaging a penny sized amount of Oh My Organic Shea Butter on your face, neck, hands or body for a beautiful shine! The warmth of your skin will melt the Shea Butter. Be sure to gently massage it in so that it sinks deep to nourish your skin. If the smell of raw Oh My Shea Butter bothers you, gently warm, do not boil, some using the double boiler technique, remove from the heat and let cool down a few minutes then add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, mix well, pour in a glass container, and let the mixture cool down in the fridge. It’s easy and you will love the result.
