SUMMER BEAUTY: KARITE SHEA BUTTER
from the editor: When it’s glorious weather out like this past weekend, spending time out in the sunshine is on my priority list. Like most New Yorkers, I tend to schedule my dose of chillax around the weekend hoping it will be nice out, especially after a rainy week. That being said, I spent a few extra hours at the beach this past weekend and found myself loving the sun, but not loving the all over dry feel of my skin after.
Considering how much skincare product I use (and love) regularly, I tried a few of my usual options, which left me surprisingly dry, post-sun. Having to amp it up, I then reached for the (biggest) jar of shea butter by Karite to get the moisture back on.

Success! I had tried KARITE SHEA BUTTER a few weeks back, but with all the rain recently, I had put it back on the shelf as it seemed too rich for humid days. The good news about this body cream is that it is, in fact a body cream, intended to uber moisturize – not a light moisture and go. For me, that means put it on and make sure it soaks in a few extra minutes before I get dressed. The fresh scent smells like summer, perfect for the weekend – and OK to take with you to the beach and stay moisturized.
I liked the effect of this so much more when my skin needed it being too dry, and it’s nice to have a 1 product wonder for moisture rescue without having to revert to sticky, vaseline-like textures in the summer. The KARITE SHEA BUTTER hydrating moisturizing cream is a winner – but you’ve got to wait for it to dry before you’re dressed. As most of my beauty resolutions go, it’s a rare day I talk about one product for a fix-it. This one happens to stand alone. 🙂
