Summer is here!
Although you may be overjoyed at the thought of shorter hemlines and rising temperatures, your skin is less than excited by your plans for fun in the sun. Your skincare routine needs to compensate for the scorching months ahead by incorporating deep moisturising ingredients. Cocoa butter and shea butter are naturally super hydrating and the only ingredients you need for healthy, radiant skin this summer.
What is Cocoa Butter?
Extracted from the cacao bean, cocoa butter is a tasty treat for dry, rough skin. Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids and hydrates like nothing else, leaving skin silky smooth with a healthy glow.
Our cocoa butter must-haves include NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Moisturiser (R29.99) available at leading retail outlets and pharmacies nationwide and Bramley Cocoa Heaven Body Lotion (R35.00) available exclusively at Pep Stores. NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Moisturiser has an irresistible subtle scent and provides long-lasting skin hydration. Bramley Cocoa Heaven Body Lotion is intensely nourishing and ideal for dry skin. Upon application, it melts into your skin and leaves it perfectly hydrated.
What is Shea Butter?
Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African Shea tree. Like cocoa butter, Shea butter is a deep moisturising ingredient rich in fatty acids. It contains nourishing Vitamin A that leaves skin soft, supple and summer-ready.
Our Shea butter must-haves include NIVEA Shea Butter Irresistibly Smooth Body Cream (R39.99) and Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Lotion (R32.99) available at leading retail outlets and pharmacies nationwide. An indulgent formula enriched with Shea butter, NIVEA Shea Butter Irresistibly Smooth Body Cream feels silky to apply and leaves skin irresistibly smooth. Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Lotion nourishes and softens skin with its rich Shea butter formula, leaving skin velvety and smooth.
