It depends on the skin of the person using it. so 3wks upwards u sld start seeing a diffrence. Wher to find it it depends where u leave ask an elderly person or yoruba person arund u. Comes frm villages.

elelem: How do you take care of shea butter odour?

Elelem, I think you can minimise/eliminate the odour by melting the butter into liquid and adding plenty of other natural oils like coconut oil, olive oil, palm kernel oil(not the red palm oil, there's a difference) and so on.

Alternatively, you can get the refined ones; they are so called because the natural odour has been removed but they're not as potent as the natural/unrefined ones. The refined ones are mostly foreign made(I think so).

I've become fond of the smell sha. Strange, right?

garnetty: Thanks OP....the natural value of shea butter can not be over-emphasised when it comes to skin treatment. But the greatest worry has always been how to deal with the odour. what other materials can be used with it to make the odour pleasant and un-offensive?.
.
Hmmmm i ignore the odour tho some dont have any at all. be sure its d real thing u r using.

Naommydammy: lemme help bring to your knowledge that there are fake shea butter,so endeavour to get the original shea butter for effective work.

Yeah, you're right. Every original must have a counterfeit. But how would people know which is original and fake?
Re: The Beauty Of Shea Butter(ori)(kadanya) by garnetty(m): 2:39pm On Jan 03, 2013
@ tajulasblog- have you ever tried it when mixed other kinds of oil e.g. olive oil? or is it more effective when used in its raw state?
Re: The Beauty Of Shea Butter(ori)(kadanya) by ferhyntorlah(f): 2:41pm On Jan 03, 2013
berem: does it really have odour? The most important thing is the benefit on your skin.

I have been using okwoma(shea butter) on my skin for the past 3years. I also use it for my hair to treat dandruff. It is also good for kids as their cream. It doesn't cause sweat too.

You can include coconut oil as well; it's very very good for treating dandruff.

I am not suprised and i would definetely try on my self.

I use aveno for my baby, recently i had to travel and the container was too large so i poured a little in a glass container.
I guess the container and the hammatarn made the cream dry up and loose its slight perfume. I still tried to use it..i mean Aveno is really costly. Only for me to discover that it smelt just like shea butter, i asked others and they confirmed. See the wisdom, they would use Ori to make cream and sell it back at high costs(well i guess they must have done some geeze on it). Strangely its not written on the pack as one of the ingredents. Its acclaimed as one of the highest quality baby products.

leyinjuege:

I was told it darkens the skin colour & therefore, unsuitable for light skin.....isn't this true? That was why I stopped using it but aside that, it's really great!

Different people with different skin reactions. I've been using shea butter with other oils for sometime now and no, it didn't darken my skin.

Bump is caused majorly when u shave ur beards and the skin is so clean that u can't feel d scratch of hair on ur skin. This makes d hair follicle go under d skin leading to d growth of d hair inside d skin. If you can take ur time to remove d hair follicle under the skin and make sure that ur next shaving is not that clean, ur occurrence of bumps on ur skin will reduce. Also bumps occur when u don't shave ur beards on time. I have my own clipper, so I shave every 3days @ least... So, I'll adice you to use clipper instead of shaving stick orshaving powder if ur skin is hard...

What i do is use my finger to break it up and mix well in my palm and smoothen it before i rub my palms together and spread all over my body. Be generous wit it dnt use sparingly u wld b amazed at the results
I heard its a good sunscreen,so I usually mix it with my body lotion. I put both in a container and whisk/mix with a tea spoon until the mixture becomes even and the ori disappears totally. The more you mix it,the lighter it gets and it doesn't solidify. I used to add a dash of my perfume into the mixture but now, the smell doesn't bother me anymore.

Hi, I used Shea butter for the last quarter of last year but had to stop because my skin color was darkening.
I think the effect varies with individual skins.

Creamchick2013: Hi, I used Shea butter for the last quarter of last year but had to stop because my skin color was darkening.
I think the effect varies with individual skins.

Use shea butter at night. I also noticed d darkening effect when used during d day. It made me stop usage, bt when I saw reviews on it on skin care websites and how much ppl oversea pay to have d ori we neglect here, I went back to it. It makes the kin soft and supple, clears eczema, diminishes stretch mark, and even heals burnt skin.
Shea butter melts at body tempreture, so it melts on rubbing on both hands.
it heals d skin nt just from the epidermis , bt frm the dermis. I either apply only shea butter at night, or apply it and apply my cream 10 mins later.
You can browse and see d effects of shea butter on d skin. I have been applying it at night for d past one month and colleagues have noticed d change on my skin. If uve had much chemicals on ur skin for a while, why nt give ur skin a break and treat with shea butter.
It is also very helpful this harmattan, so instead of going for d oil, why not go for shea butter?

jennann: Nice post. So, how do you make the shea butter lighter in consistency for easy spreadability over the skin since it' s quite hard in the raw form?

Heat it in a pot until it melts and all the dirt and black bits rise up to the top then sieve it. Leave it to cool down and it's ready to use.
