My Experience With Shea Butter by Ginaz(f): 12:32pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
After reading all the benefits of raw shea butter on skin, and never thought of giving it a try I decided to get shea butter recently as a moisturizer for my skin. I told my aunt to get me and she brought it all looking nice and smells like the real deal. I tried it that night, it was hard to spread on my skin and within a minute it disappeared. I was impressed and used it all over my body including my face. I woke up to a dry skin, it didn't moisturize my skin as I thought it would. It was just there. I used till for a week and my skin started darkening. My stomach got little bit darker, so I stopped. It helped in curing some little rashes on my face sha. Anybody with experience on shea butter? did it darken you or moisturize your skin? It did nothing for me and so you know I used it only at night time. |

It clears marks and stuffs but it sures darkens your skin, the best way is to have another cream to be used at mornings 2 Likes |

Ginaz: I've seen it used on babies and it really makes their skin glow. So maybe it works. Personally don't like the natural smell, or the feel. I sent a raven. Have you seen it or did the Nairaland edit profile monster swallow it on it's way to you? |
Re: My Experience With Shea Butter by Ginaz(f): 5:58pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
ekanDamie: I used it for 1 week only to get dark. But I've recovered now, sorry about yours. Years? It is that bad? |

Ginaz: Guess something's wrong with that feature too. Will find another way. |

I don't think shea butter darkens the skin. Maybe you weren't using an SPF moisturizer when you were using it. I use it for my feet, hands and other parts of my body but never on my face b/c it's too thick and clogging for the face. |

NotOfThis: I didn't use it during the day, only at night for a week. It darkened me all the same. 1 Like |
