As far as Shea butter goes, from what I have researched about it, it is better if it is in the solid state. I will consider buying some, but probably the butter type. In the liquid form, it has already been processed. I used the Shea butter my mother got from the African store, a little while back and it is so nice. It does require body heat to melt, but then the skin feels amazing! I would like to use it on my face, actually. I, too, have milk chocolate skin which can make acne scars a nuisance. It is getting better, though. I have used solid, raw coconut oil on my skin, but it cost a bit more and I enjoy eating it too much to use it on my skin much. I use a spoonful or two per day as a supplement. Nom, nomz. Also, I would recommend always keeping flax seed oil refrigerated.
I wonder if anyone here has any experience with lemon scented fish oil...
Hmm, that makes sense about the processed bit. I'll definitely add solid shea butter to the list, then!
I remember when I first shopped for shea butter I was gonna get it as a solid, but then I saw oil and decided that would be more convenient for me.I've used coconut oil too! But the weather made it melt, and it eventually got bad because I stopped using it. ._. I'm not the biggest fan of its scent and such, however I didn't realize just how GOOD it was for so many things at the time. I'll definitely give it another try, this time I'll be able to keep it in the fridge.
