shea butter

[Guest guest]

Any one using this for extremly dry skin? What is the brand name your using?

Has it caused any breakouts or reactions?

I've tried Karite One (refined)brand (bought at Whole Foods) for

about $10 for 2 oz and also brand (crude)at

www.getvitamins.com. With my dry skin, especially between photoderm

treatments, this only lasts about a week--though a little bit does go

a long way. To save money, I have started ordering mine at

www.skinlove.com. You can get a 16 oz tub for $30, so it's a huge

savings. Obviously, you'd want to try a smaller version to see if it

works for you. You can choose either refined or crude. I prefer the

refined because it goes on much smoother.

One word of caution, if you are applying it under make up, you need

to wait a while (usually about 20 minutes) or blot your skin with a

tissue. Otherwise your makeup might slide right off.
