The Beauty of Body Butter

Body butter just sounds yummy, and though it is very nourishing, you shouldn’t eat it. If you have been wondering what the news is about body butter in spas, salons, and even special gift sets, it’s time that you learn. This new product is taking the beauty world by storm because of how effective it can be when it comes to correcting skin problems, healing scars, and moisturizing even the driest skin. However, before you decide whether or not you should buy this product, you should know what it’s all about.

Traditionally, body butter was created from a mixed of different natural ingredients that have long held their reputations for healing damaged skin. Natural moisturizers such as shea butter and cocoa butter were the primary ingredients for body butter. Along with these natural powerhouses of moisture, body butter often includes other ingredients that are reputed to have moisturizing or healing effects on the skin. Vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acid rich olive oil and grapeseed oil are used to make body butter.  The botanical sun damage fighter, organic aloe vera, is added to help protect the skin against aging, damage, and to alleviate scarring. When beeswax is added to the mix, you are left with a naturally beautifying cocktail that will moisturize your skin, nourish it with vitamins and enzymes, and keep it glowing.

Body butter is a great treat for women and men with very dry skin, as well as those who simply want to heal damage that may have been caused by living life. Believe it or not, women who have combination or oily skin can benefit just as much as those who have dry skin. Moisturizers help balance the sebaceous glands’ oil production, thereby reducing the amount of acne people experience, as well as the typical shine that often is associated with oily skin. Many people are beginning to consider body butter to be the new skin equalizer, and that’s a very good thing. Those who are very sensitive to fragrances are probably best off choosing a body butter that is fragrance-free. Unscented or with added pure essential oil, Bath Savvy provides a collection of natural scent and aromatherapy benefits to their handmade body butter.

If you have been looking for a skin treat that will leave your body glowing, it’s time to invest in some body butter. Made out of all natural ingredients, it’s a perfectly safe way to make sure that your skin will look its best, even during the driest weather. It doesn’t matter what your skin type might be, or why you choose to get it. Body butter is a treat that works well for everybody. Don’t wait until the harsh winter air causes your skin to chap- order a little body butter today!

Ingredient Indulge: Oatmeal

Let’s talk about Oatmeal.

You may be surprised to learn that oatmeal is one of the best natural treatments for dry skin. Plain rolled oats, can be used to make a gentle and very effective natural skin cleanser, facial scrub, and soothing facial mask.

An excellent multi-purpose skin care treatment, oatmeal helps to relieve dryness, restoring natural moisture balance to aid in healing minor irritations due to the many causes of skin sensitivities. Cleansing the face with oatmeal helps to soothe skin irritation and reduce imitation. Oatmeal, when used as a skin cleanser, actually absorbs and removes surface dirt and impurities while providing very gentle exfoliation, leaving skin smooth, soft, and clean. Oatmeal gently but effectively removes dead skin cells, to reveal softer, smoother looking skin. In addition, cleansing and exfoliating with oatmeal provides the bonus of a natural, healthy glow.

Here is an Oatmeal Facial Mask that you can try at home

Oatmeal Facial Mask:

1. Pour a small amount of ground oatmeal into palm
2. Add a little water to make a paste. (For a more moisturizing mask, use milk instead of water.)
3.  Apply to face and throat and leave on skin for about 5 minutes.
4. Rinse. Follow with moisturizer.

Bath Savvy is proud to use this ingredient in our products and see the Oatmeal Soap & Oatmeal Bath Teas we have to offer.
