After you have taken a bath or shower would be the most ideal time to apply any body butter. The reason this is because during a shower (hot shower), your pores will open from the water temperature and steam. The heat of the water relaxes your skin and opens your pores. During this process your pores are releasing excess oil, which may cause blackheads and whiteheads and acne. You don’t have to set the water temperature too hot that it makes you feel uncomfortable. It should be hot enough to cleanse and release build-up which also causes acne.
Our natural body lubricant called sebum is suppose to help keep our skin and hair moisturized. Our diets don’t allow for this to happen and we lose all of what mother nature has to offer. This is where body butter can help. Immediately after you have taken a shower you should pat dry your skin. Next, gently rub in the whipped shea butter in a circular motion. Applying the butter immediately after the shower, will lock in the moisture that you have gained from the shower. Shortly after applying the butter you’ll notice that your skin is soft, supple, with a slight glow.
