TUNE-UP your skin for spring with this African ‘seed secret’

If it feels like last winter’s weather SUCKED all the moisture out of your skin…

Leaving it feeling stiff and uncomfortable…

And leaving you looking NOTHING like you did when your skin was soft, supple, and glowing…

I have good news for you today.

Because there’s a way to PROTECT your skin from harsh weather conditions and other environmental factors.

No matter WHAT seems to be attacking it.

It’s an ancient kind of “nut butter” out of Africa…

But this “nut” puts your almonds and cashews to shame when it comes to how it can HEAL and HYDRATE your skin.

A butter balm for burned-out skin

The African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) grows near the equator in several countries throughout this ancient continent… and produces an oily “nut” or “kernel” that could help SAVE your skin.

It’s actually the seed of the tree’s fruit – and the locals extract the pure fat from it to produce a healing substance known as shea butter. (The former scientific name for the tree, Butyrospermum, loosely translates to mean “butter seed.”)

Legend has it that women have used this waxy, butter-like balm since the times of the Queen of Sheba… Queen Nefertiti… and Cleopatra.

But it’s only been used in this country since the 1990s!

Once you try it, you may want to STOCKPILE a supply of it… so you’ll NEVER run out!

Shea butter is best known as a hydrating hero.

Thanks to its content of fatty acids… especially stearic acid… a wax-like film forms a barrier on your skin’s surface to TRAP water and KEEP it from escaping.

But it’s also moisturizing in its own right, too – and being rich in vitamins E and A

helps it soothe tight, itchy, or cracked skin.

That means it can also reduce the appearance of rough or flaky patches… and even fine lines.

It can even help SOFTEN your dry lips – which is why it’s sometimes included in lipsticks or lip balms.

Anyone who’s suffered from “winter skin” knows how the lack of moisture can cause certain areas to become red and inflamed…

But fortunately, one of shea butter’s active compounds, cinnamic acid, is a potent inflammation buster.

And that’s going to be helpful as the temperatures rise… and we head into spring and summer…

Because any anti-inflammatory action sure comes in handy when it comes to allergic reactions and insect bites.

You can even use shea butter as a sunscreen to protect against UV damage from sun exposure!

And if you do get burned… shea butter can REDUCE the heat and discomfort.

There’s one more trick that shea butter has got up its sleeve…

And that’s how it can BOOST collagen production.

You know how collagen is a protein that helps give your skin its structure… and keeps it from sagging…

But if you’re of a “certain age,” you ALSO have observed first-hand how we LOSE our collagen stores as we get older.

Well, shea butter’s collagen-boosting superpowers can help beat back not only wrinkles… but also scars and stretch marks.

And rigorous testing has proven how it’s safe.

In fact, it’s practically IMPOSSIBLE for it to irritate you!

In Africa, they even EAT pure shea butter.

Look for shea butter on its own in the purest form you can find, extracted with minimal processing and with zero contaminants (including fragrances and other potential irritants).

It’s also a major component of African black soap.

To skin so soothed,
