coco butter vs shea butter for the face - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

guidance77 · 11-14-2007, 08:36 AM

I am a 38 yr. old black male of medium skin complexion. When I shave using either my liners or Magic shaving cream, afterwards I need to put something on my face. Normally I use coco butter. It seems to be working just alright but I would like to know if Shea butter would be better or do they do the same thing?

Cocoa butter is great for skin, but I've read that shea butter is even better. I tried to buy some not long ago, but pure shea butter is pretty hard to find. The only place I know that sells it is Bath and Body Works (I didn't look around too hard; so maybe some other health stores sell it as well)... and it is more expensive than cocoa butter.
