WELCOME! Our First Edition Of Everything Else Wednesday - Body Cream Reviews

As our faces are different, so is our skin types and textures. Generally, the physiology of African skin is enormously different from that of other races. This among other reasons will shapen your idea when making a choice for your body cream. Personally, I have been using Shea butter for over 3 years and I must tell you, the result has been tremendous. Find out how to make your own (Shea Butter) here at home in case you are interested. For those that will not have enough time for their home made body cream, try to make a choice of body lotion containing Caucasians.

 Which creams and lotions are good for African skin?

A choice to use and stick to skin products made with at least 65% natural products brings up the question  of choice of creams and lotions to use on our skin. Lacing your body with hydroquinone is the worst thing you can do to your skin. Aside hydroquinone, there are few other chemicals which will be harmful to the skin. These includes but not limited to Kojic acid, and any other bleaching and lightening lotions.

What is your choice of cream?

Whenever people are asked the choice of their body cream, the response is always like "anything that has Shea butter/cocoa butter" sounds interesting right? This is because Shea butter has stood the test of time, aside being 100% organic and natural ingredient, Shea butter rejuvenates and repairs body's worn out tissues. Even in the days of old, it has been widely used both as an essential oil and other curative attributes it has.

Cocoa butter, just like Shea butter is also one of the most cherished commodities when body cream and lotion is mentioned. Below are top cream/lotion reviews most women uses.

Top creams and lotions that is cool for your skin

1)  Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer

We have few creams that are blended with pure natural African Shea butter and Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer sure made the list. In fact,  It is proudly and clearly stated on the pack and bottle of this wonder performing cream. Many Jergens products have been popular in Nigeria for years, but when it comes to rejuvenating the skin so that it glows and is supple, ori remains a favourite, and therefore Jergens Shea Butter takes the cake.

2)  Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion-

In Africa, especially in Nigeria, we are used to dry air and hot weather. Cocoa Butter is here to help us repair and rebuild the damaged skins caused by oxidants. The sweet fragrance in Palmer's Cocoa butter contains vitamin E and filled with antioxidants.

3) Shea Body Butter by The Body Shop-

Well, I haven't used this cream or seen someone who has but the reviews caught my attention. It is no news that Nigerian women love Shea butter; it is a natural source of antioxidants and vitamins. However, many have found the fragrance (or lack thereof) discouraging. The Body Shop is trusted for its commitment to natural, ethically produced beauty products, so for those who won’t use raw Shea butter directly on their skin, Shea Body Butter is the next best thing.
