My skin always felt smoother and softer when I use it. Sometime my forearms gets that crepe paper look and then when I apply the Shea butter, the look disappears. Good luck.

It will but it does have a scent to it. You will need to warm it in your hands first until it turns in a liquid. It is a bit greasy but it works.

I think it would help but if you want something to really stay on there for awhile, add about 1 Tablespoon beeswax to about 1 cup shea butter. You can also add some organic coconut oil. You will have to melt the beeswax a little. Beeswax flakes are easier to deal with. I put shea butter on my face every day. It stays very well.

Personally, I've never use the shea butter alone. I make a cream using this shea butter, plus a good coconut butter, and virgin olive oil....I got the recipe online. It does wonders for my severe 'winter itch' dry skin. Your husband needs to heavily moisturize those areas of skin morning and night and especially after showering. Most guys are just not good about taking care of their dry skin but should be. The tub I received of this shea butter appears to be pretty good given its color, odor, and consistency. But beware, there's a lot of it sold on the market that is not safe to use. Personally, I've never use the shea butter alone.

I have had no personal experience with this particular problem, so cannot directly answer your question. However recent medical issues of mine may be helpful. I had radiation therapy on my scalp to remove basal cell carcinoma. This caused very dry skin that bled and scabbed. I used shea nut butter with lavender following treatments and at bedtime. The results were gratifying. Six days after the last treatment the dried, scaly sin and scabs are gone and my skin is smooth and soft, though still reddish. I would therefore think it may be worth a try using shea butter. It's easier to apply if you liquify it with a hair dryer first.

it will help. make sure the butter has frankincense in it I think that is key to healing dry skin.

It can touch the good skin. It will not irritate or harm it. The pads have a heavy gel like substance on them like petroleum vaseline but much better. Helped the healing process move along faster. Does have a strange odor but nothing offensive. Worth it.

I use strictly pure stick butter in mine. If I let the stick soften @ room temp. slightly it seems to adhere better.

Add a spoonful to hot clean bath water in the tub, after you bathe or shower, a natural bath oil...still messy , but for me better that trying to rub it on to every inch of my body, and I do want it on every inch!

The only answer I can give is it couldn't hurt. My wife uses this product her skin is smooth and silky soft. She swears by it, it makes her happy and that is good enough for me.

My wife and I use it for fixing our dry cracked rough heels. My very first use took three days to completly fix a deeply cracked left heel.I could hardly walk on it. As other cracks later developed, it took one or sometimes just two days to totally heal them. I use lubriderm to keep my heals softs. We live in Arizona, wear sandels most of the time, and everything is dry down here. When I use Lubriderm lotion daily on my heals, feet, face, or anywhere, that keeps them from getting too dry. It is when I don't use the lotion for a few days that they will get dry and crack. I will not ever be without O'Keeffe's again.

You will need to temper it. Just google "tempering shea butter". As I understand from my reading, the graininess is caused by the fatty acids that solidify at different temperatures. Shea and mango are particularly prone to graininess.

I am not a skin expert but the goat's milk soap has many beneficial properties. It could possibly help eczema since it has a lot of moisture. In any case the soap is expensive and may be best to consult a doctor.

It helped me! I mixed it with a very thick body butter and it applied very nicely. I took this in conjunction with Ivermectin. My only advice is not to leave it on more than 14 hours. I had spot treated a few itchy bites that were left over and forgot to wash it off after 14 hrs, so it caused some itching and burning, but it immediately stopped after washing it off.

There are multiple oils in it. I will tell you this though.... My 11 year old son had major Eczema that was extremely itchy. It helped so much. It also helped the dry look as well.

I use this on my lips. When visiting with my son I had left it at home: their food grade coconut oil was not a replacement for this. I'm not sure why, but it did nothing to prevent chapping in their dry home.

Yes, you can use this butter to help improve the appearance new and old stretch marks and scars. Our targeted formula including Darutoside, Algisium C and Biopeptides will help prevent and repair marks and damage.

It depends on how large the split is. IT helps immensely with dry boards and has restored minor splits on my boards. You do have to be sure and keep them oiled as you use them. It works kind of like lotion to your hands, you do have to keep reapplying as nature does dry them.

Not necessarily but I find the lotion is great for my body and I use the body butter almost every day for my feet and heels as my heels and outside big toe area tend to get very dry and develop caluses. Keeping them softened helps a lot. When it's cool outside I put my socks on immediately to assist in the treatment.

i think we all have different an=mounts of moisture and texture on skin , depends on the area u stick it on. i would alcohol clean the area well before each use , so it free of oil . i also got Parker Labs Tensive Conductive Adhesive Gel, 50 g Tube, and use very lightly only after pad becomes less sticky worked well .

I use the foot creams after using the callus remover to soften my feet. There are many on the market but my favorites are Burt's Bees and Heal Genius. Just don't use the creams before using the Emjoi, it will defeat the purpose. I hope this helps.

I doubt this product will help with eczema. It's very watery, and lacks the necessary staying power to treat severely dry skin. I use under a heavier moisturizer, as a booster.
