DIY Shea Butter balms for baby soft heels and smooth lips

Shea is the one ingredient that your skin needs to be buttered up with. Its ability to act as a moisture blanket for dry skin is enormous, owing to its African origins. This non-comedogenic agent is a hydration hero thanks to the essential fats extracted from shea nuts. From easing razor burns to reducing stretch marks it bears a host of benefits for your skin to rely on all year round. 

How often do we pay attention to the needs of cracked heels and chapped lips? We don't pay as much attention to our feet as we do to our lips, do we? There are times when we apply lip balm thinking it is the ultimate solution. That begs the question, do all lip balms work to prevent dryness? There are a few that work against your will. If you favour DIY recipes to work their power on your feet and lips, let’s get to curate one, shall we?
