Summer Staple-Beaver Butter

Now that the weather is getting warm, it is finally time for shorts, dresses, skirts, and more skin! Although this is a great time of year it is often difficult to transition our skin, especially our legs.The legs out of all the areas of the body tend to get the least sun throughout the year. They are also often the driest of all the areas and are hard to treat.  Dry skin is usually caused when the body has a water or lipids depletion. These are what keep our skin smooth, supple, and looking healthy. One of the easiest ways that the skin on the legs can dry out is through shaving. Shaving can exasperate already dry skin causing razor burn and other skin irritations. There is nothing worse than that fiery sting after shaving that comes from lack of moisture. There are many ways to avoid this but the most effective are shaving in luke warm water instead of hot, which dries skin out even more, and using an effective after shave cream. I came across this after shave butter and have been obsessed ever since. 

Titled Beaver Butter, and made locally in Riverside Iowa, this is a great and pure product. The ingredients include naturally soothing Aloe Leaf, Shea butter, Vitamins, A, C, E and pro vitamin B5, Allantoin, and lavender extract. Although most of the ingredients looked pretty familiar to me allantoin, was one I had never heard of. Allantoin is an ingredient that is present in extracts of the comfrey plant, which has been recognized by herbalists for years as being a cure for many skin problems. Allantoin is an organic compound that is present in all comfrey plants. Allantoin is said to stimulate cell growth as well as repair damaged and irritated skin. It also suppresses and soothes any kind of inflammation of the skin. Allantoin also increases any kind of skin healing process as well as being a super moisturizer for the skin. It can be used on cuts, bruises and any kind of rash.

As someone with every skin sensitivity in the book, I had become very familiar with the comfrey plant ingredient and was not surprised to learn this butter contained a thread of it. Beaver butter is also free of synthetic dyes and perfumes and is paraben free! All of these ingredients work together to create a very successful, natural,  and luxurious after-shave cream. Unlike other after shave creams I had tried, this does not sting the legs after using, it is light and non greasy while still being extremely moisturizing. This is a necessity for any woman searching for smooth, healthy, beautiful legs. It can also be applied to any area that is shaved, armpits, sweet spots, etc. Guys as well can use this as an after shave cream as it is great for sensitive skin on the face. It can also be applied to pregnant bellies as shea butter is an ingredient that helps with stretch marks. I know this was a great find for me and great for any woman wanting to feel comfortable in her own skin!
