The cold temperature and harsh weather during the winter months influence on our skin condition by drying out the outermost layer of skin (even oily skin). The
best way I’ve found to combat this problem is to protect and moisturize
my skin with body butter that nourishes as it
hydrates.
1) Humectants - which hold water in the outermost layer of skin. Urea, glycerin and alpha hydroxy acids are examples of humectants.
2) Emollients and occlusives - moisturizers that act as a temporary barrier, they fill gaps between skin cells that are missing moisturizing lipids. Some common emollients include essential fatty acids, which are found in natural oils. Petrolatum and dimethicone are most common occlusives.
Many moisturizers contain some combination of humectants, emollients and other ingredients. Thus, the skin becomes smoother and better hydrated.
I decided to change formula of whipped butter to create whipped soufflé cream. The rich, unique soufflé texture sinks quickly into the skin to leave it soft and comfortable without any greasy residue.
Ingredients: Shea Butter, Almond Oil, Coconut oil, Apricot Oil, Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Orange Wax, Aloe Vera Gel, Glycerin, Corn Starch, Vitamin E, Optiphen.
I used the mixture of high quality butters and oils, each of these rich in vitamins and fatty acids to help intensely nourish your skin.
Shea Butter is naturally rich in Vitamins A, E, and F, as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A and E help to soothe, hydrate, and balance the skin. They also provide skin collagen which assists with wrinkles and other signs of aging. Vitamin F contains essential fatty acids, and helps protect and revitalize damaged skin and hair. Shea Butter is an intense moisturizer for dry skin, and is a wonderful product for revitalizing dull or dry skin on the body or scalp.
Almond Oil and Apricot oil moisturize and help restore hydrolipidic film. They are gentle enough to use on any skin type.
Avocado Oil - is rich, has extremely high penetrating qualities and contains vitamins A, D and E, lecithin, potassium, beta-carotene and over 20 essential fatty acids.
Coconut oil retains the moisture content of the skin, has anti-bacterial properties. 100 grams of coconut oil has about 0.1 mg of vitamin E, thus enhancing it skin-nourishing properties.
Rice oil - helps to regenerate skin, prevents wrinkles, improves firmness and elasticity of the skin, has anti-inflammatory, hydrating and softening effect.
Absolutely natural orange wax helps to protect your skin with long-term effect.
Aloe Vera Gel cools the exterior of your skin and Glycerin hydrate and moisturize the skin.
Apply small amount of Body Whipped Soufflé Cream on slightly damp skin. It is especially effective after bathing or showering when your skin is still warm and damp.
You will be surprised at how long this 4 oz. jar will last you.
