May 19th, 2009
Could you use butter to moisturize your face? Some people do. Most people use cosmetic creams or oils, but there are other alternatives.
Butter for the skin
You know that the vegetable is an ingredient used by thousands of women as a body cream or rough areas? There are even those who use it in the face. Not recommended for the face but can be tested in other areas. Used vegetable shortening. The skin may be oily for this reason it is used sparingly. It is ideal for heels, elbows, knees and hands dry.
It helps the skin because it creates a barrier between the skin and the environment by making the skin retain its own oils. A serious problem when using lard to make contact with clothing is that it is very difficult to wash clothes and if not removed the butter after a while it smells stale.
Petrolatum
It acts like the butter creates a protective barrier around the skin. It is ideal for people who practice skiing or exposed to cold temperatures or wind. Clogs the pores and therefore should not be used in areas prone to mud.
Can be used on face and body, but there are better options for the face. As a petroleum product is not recommended but many doctors do.
Butter or vegetable waxes
There are as many karite, avocado, and other command. They are very effective in protecting the skin and treat dry skin. You can read more in this article: butters for skin
Vegetable oil
There are many types of oil such as almond, olive, sunflower and others. All can be used on the skin, they can combine with each other to create a better consistency or use cigars.
I know a dermatologist who used sunflower oil instead of cream body. You can enrich the content by putting them in a few capsules of vitamin E or a little wheat germ oil and we must keep in the refrigerator if the weather is humid.
Mineral oil
Comes from oil and has very large molecules that clog the pores. It is effective but can cause outbreaks of acne in predisposed individuals. The baby oil is mineral oil and is generally a cousin of the petroleum jelly. Before it contained many cosmetics but now with the rise of natural products use is declining.
