When lotion just wonâEUR(TM)t do. You need body oil. We are all familiar with Baby oil, however, most of do not know that it is filled with mineral oil or petroleum. Mineral oil is misleading because it does not contain the mineral oils that are skin-friendly for chronic skin suffers. Baby Oil is the by- product of gasoline and petrol. Yes this is a natural product. But, not all natural products are good for your skin.
At Laeh Shea we don’t promote the use of lotion. Lotion is typically 70% water and other fillers. While water is the single most important element, when skin is extremely dry, irritated or inflammed, hydration is not what your skin need for repair. Dry irritated, cracked skin is a sign of lack of moisture. Your body need to be hydrated when washing, cleaning or replacing fluid loss, but for smooth, moist, well-conditioned skin, you need an oil. And no, not just any oil will do. You must feed your skin close to what you feed your body. Your body needs natural oils like Laeh Shea body oils.
Each year there seems to a be a new discovered oil that some ancient people have been using for years. These oils report to be the new Fountain of Youth. The truth of the matter is that skin ages. There is no such thing as reverse signs of aging. But, what is possible is the retardation of the slowing down of aging skin. Our body continuously attempts to renew itself. If we keep the environment that our skin lives in as healthy as possible, many of the potions, ointments, creams, and serums will not be as necessary. Unfortunately, we can’t do much about some of the toxins, gases and chemicals we are exposed to. But, we can do better with the products that we put on our skin. As consumers, we must pay attention to the ingredients that are in the products we are purchasing. You want the minimal amount of ingredients in any one product. Some will have you to believe that the longer the name the worse the ingredient is. I just want you to know that there are natural ingredients that have long scientific names and are natural too. You do not have to be a chemist to know what these ingredient are. But you can make better choices by recognizing some of the bad ingredients. Also begin to ask yourself what do I want this product to do. When I speak to people and they are complaining about a product that does not work the way they would like it to work, I always ask how long you been using it? The answer to this questions is always surprising. Many answer months, if not years. So much dedication for something that doesn’t work. I don’t get that. I’m always proud of those who I have converted to using natural body oils. The testimonies that I get weekly are astounding. Once your body begins to be moisturized with oils rather than hydrated with lotion, you will see a dramatic difference in the appearance of your skin. The dry scaly look disappears, no more irritation and the reduction of inflammation alone is enough to never think of lotion. Another thing to remember is that lotion is 70% water. When you introduce water to a product it must be perserved with a germicide to prevent bacteria from growing. Natural vegetables oils such as Grapeseed , Shea, Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Soybean, Wheat Germ, are all natural and don’t grow bacteria. Bacteria freely lives in water but not oil. So convert to natural and organic body oils. Excellent for Eczema, burns, dry skin, stretch marks, blemishes and age spots.
