A number of reasons have made body butter a must in cosmetic kit while on travel or at home. It not only nourishes the skin and keeps it healthy but maintains the tone and texture too. A variety of body butters are up in market; however, selection must be based on the type of skin that you have-normal, dry or oily. It is important to note that body butter is only for body and not for face. If applied on face, it might damage the tissues causing break outs and allergies.
While opting for any cosmetic, it is important to know that body butter is applied only in winters. If there is lot of travelling or outdoor visits then using SPF based body butter is better. At the same time, very small quantity must be applied on hands, arms and legs. Body butter can do wonders to body areas like elbows, neck, hands, knees and feet too. It varies in content for day and night. The former has lighter consistency than the latter.
The most common body butter used is organic body butter which is eco-friendly in nature. Prepared purely from organic butter, it is quite suitable for oily skin.
The body butter prepared either from lavender oil or cocoa are good for combination skins which are neither too oily nor too dry. The chocolate body butter is used before retiring to bed. It hydrates the skin overnight by destroying the free radicals in order to even out the skin tone. It is quite apt for normal and dry skin.
Shea body butter is prepared from fruits of Shea tree. It contains cinnamic acid that is vital in protecting against the harmful sun rays and ideal for dry skin. Body butters are also available in combination. For instance, butter made of soy milk and honey mixed with Jojoba and Shea oils.
Body butter is good for all types of skins. However, depending on ingredients, it differs for different skins. Thus, there must be a cautious approach so that it does not damage the tone and texture of the skin.
