Skin as dry as toast? \u00a0Maybe it’s time to butter it…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winter can be a nightmare for the skin.\u00a0 Between the icy whipping winds outside and dry heat inside, patchy skin makes it clear that the snow isn\u2019t the only thing with flakes.\u00a0 Looking in the mirror one day, I realized that my skin was really taking a beating as my face looked more parched than a desert island castaway.\u00a0 It was time to face it, my usual lotion wasn\u2019t cutting it where the Polar Vortex was concerned.<\/p>\n

In a desperate tour through my bathroom cabinets I found a tin of Booda Butter<\/a><\/strong> that I received several months back in a conference swag bag. \u00a0I flipped the tin over to read the ingredients: shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil \u2013 all organic.\u00a0 All of the food grade ingredients were just the kind of stuff that I would put into a moisturizer if I was making it myself, except I didn\u2019t have to get out any measuring spoons.<\/p>\n

\"Booda<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed when opening the canister was the smell.\u00a0 Although there\u2019s no fragrance in this moisturizer, the smell of cocoa from the cocoa butter shines through.\u00a0 (I passed by my husband after oiling up.\u00a0 \u201cMmm,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cYou smell like a chocolate truffle.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Then I swiped a finger full and watched as the frosting-like texture almost immediately melted into the skin.\u00a0 On the directions they advise to briefly rub the butter between your palms and then to spread the oil around from head to toe.\u00a0 Although it goes on oily, it doesn\u2019t take long for the skin to absorb the moisture.<\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve been using Booda Butter, I\u2019ve noticed a significant improvement in my skin, especially on my face where I\u2019d been having the most troubles.\u00a0 Gone are those dry, patchy areas on the forehead and around the eyebrows.<\/p>\n

As well as being used as a moisturizer, on the Booda Organics website they offer 50 ways to use Booda Butter including on chapped lips, as a deep-conditioning hair treatment, as a massage oil, to heal and preserve tattoos, to smooth frizzy hair, as a make-up remover and more.<\/p>\n

Booda Butter is never tested on animals. \u00a0It’s soy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.\u00a0\u00a0A 2.3 ounce tin is $14.00 and can be purchased on\u00a0boodaorganics.com<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or in stores<\/a><\/strong> across the United States.<\/p>\n
