Today’s lesson is to use body butter daily! Make sure to only use an all-natural brand. The main reason to use body butter is to make sure your skin is always moisturized and pliable! When you lose weight your skin shrinks and therefore you need to make sure to keep it moisturized to prevent or lessen stretch marks.
My favorite product is NBW Body Butter! Get yours today! I literally order this by the gallon…

What are Body Butters Used for?
Body butters are really amazing for keeping your skin moisturized. They nourish and moisten dry skin to help prevent becoming dried out and even forming stretch marks. Many companies use shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango for their body butters. These are all great bases to look for in a natural body butter.
Keeping Your Skin Moisturized
Our skin is our biggest organ and is constantly at work. Most of its job involves blocking or absorbing things that come in contact with it. Therefore, we need to be-careful what we use on our skin. We must be sure to only use natural products on our skin that do not cause issues within the body when absorbed. Many commercial lotions contain parabens. Parabens are extremely dangerous for our bodies – they have been linked to breast and ovarian cancer.
Keep your products natural and you will have nothing to worry about!
Protecting your Skin
Our skin is naturally a protective layer that is responsible for keeping the bad guys out. Adding a layer of natural body butter adds an additional barrier over the skin responsible for keeping it moisturized. In using body butter our skin keeps its natural protectant quality and remains moist even in the hot sun, dry heat or cold winter.
Natural Body Butters are Vitamin Rich
Most natural body butters are rich in essential omega 3 fatty acids. These amazing fats have great benefits on the body both internally and externally. They help to calm inflammation and are protective against external damage. Most Natural Body Butters are also anti-oxidant rich. They usually have anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C, E, and A. These are essential for preventing free radical damage to the skin.
Benefits for our Skin
Natural Body Butters are amazing for conditions such as eczema or cracked skin. Retaining this moisture can feel amazing for anyone. It will help to keep you looking fresh and feeling healthy. Your skin loves moisture but sometimes (due to weather or certain conditions in the body) may not be able to hold that moisture. Natural Body Butter is the key to keeping that balance in your skin and maintaining a fresh appearance.
Cost of Natural Body Butter
Natural Body Butter is an affordable product. With NBW (My favourite) the prices can range from $19.50 for a 230 ml container to $80.90 for 2L. 2L of body butter is a lot of body butter lol! It will last you an extremely long time. These prices are great compared to some of the non-natural moisturizing creams out there.
