The Winter Face Saver: A Nightly Ritual for Dry, Flaky Facial Skin
It's the most frustrating part of a change in weather: your facial skin suddenly feels tight, dry, and starts to show flaky patches, especially around the nose and mouth.
The cold, dry air outside and the hot, dry air from indoor heating conspire to pull every bit of moisture from your skin. Your lightweight daily lotion just can't keep up.
You need a "protective barrier." You need an intensive night treatment that will heal the damage and create a seal to lock in moisture.
You need Nubiana's 100% Pure African Shea Butter.
Worried About Breakouts? Don't Be.
The first question is always: "This is so thick, won't it clog my pores?"
The answer is no. Pure, unrefined shea butter has a comedogenic rating of 0-2, which is in the "non-comedogenic" (won't clog pores) range. It's not the same as other heavy butters (like cocoa butter) and is safe for most skin types to use on the face.
Why Shea Butter is the Perfect Night Treatment
-
It's a Natural Healer: Because it's unrefined, our shea butter is packed with Vitamins A & E and anti-inflammatory compounds. It actively works to soothe the redness and irritation from windburn and heal the flaky, damaged skin barrier.
-
It's the Ultimate "Sealant" (aka "Slugging"): Shea butter is the perfect, natural version of "slugging." It creates a breathable, nourishing barrier on your skin. This seal does two things:
-
It locks in your other skincare products (like serums), making them work better.
-
It protects your skin all night long from the dry air, so you wake up with plump, hydrated, and calm skin.
-
Your Simple Nightly Ritual
Use this as the very last step in your evening skincare routine.
-
Cleanse & Hydrate: Wash your face, apply your normal serums, and use your regular lightweight moisturizer. Let it absorb for a minute.
-
Warm It: Scoop a tiny, pea-sized amount of Pure African Shea Butter. A little goes a long way.
-
Melt It: Warm the butter between your palms until it melts into a clear, golden oil.
-
Press, Don't Rub: Gently press the warm oil into the skin of your face, neck, and chest. This creates that final, protective seal.
Go to sleep, and let the vitamins and rich fatty acids work their magic. You'll wake up to skin that is finally comfortable, hydrated, and free from those dry, flaky patches.
