What Is Body Butter?

Body butter is a skin moisturizer that typically contains shea butter, coconut oil and/or other vegetable-based oils and butters. Body Butter is most notable for being thicker than body lotions and moisturizers which is why you’re more likely to find body butters in a jar than a bottle so you can easily scoop out your desired amount of body cream. Body butters are also known to be more effective at nourishing and rejuvenating dry skin, whether used all over or only on problem patches, such as elbows and knees. In the Chiltan Pure collection of body butters, you will find nourishing shea butter and organic coconut oil as two of the main ingredients. These ingredients are known for their hydrating, moisturizing properties making them a must-have component in any body butter.During the winter months, body butter will be your skincare best friend. If you have been using a light body lotion, it might be time to consider swapping it for a rich body butter.

How Do You Use Body Butter?

The best way to use body butter is to apply it after your daily shower or bath. Once you’ve enjoyed your daily shower or bath, pat your body dry with a towel. As a top tip, leave a little moisturize on your skin and do not rub or dry your skin completely.Then, apply a generous scoop of body butter directly to your skin and gently massage into skin using firm, broad strokes until full absorbed. Try to avoid using too much at once and remember you can always apply another layer on top if you feel like your skin needs extra moisturization throughout the day. When applying your body butter, pay special attention to your elbows, knees, hands and feet. These are all areas that are more prone to dryness meaning they will benefit greatly from a generous layer of body butter to really help nourish these problem areas.

Top Tips and Advice for Using Body Butter:
