Re: Dry skin solutions...dry hair problems!

[Guest guest]

Kim,

I just read an article about Shea butter in Health magazine. The

swore by the wonders of shea butter for your skin and hair care. I

believe the product they were extolling was a new Clarol shampoo

called 5x renew or something like that. You might take a look and see

if that was the one. Sorry, I just read while I was at physical

therapy icing my knee but the shea butter thing stood out. A couple

of hairdresses really bragged on that shampoo. They have a web site,

health.com that you might check out. The articles kept saying to

click on the magazine link. Perhaps that information will be there!

Thanks for sharing about the cream, also.

Hugs,

Theresa

I have used Shea Butter for months now on my feet. It totally

cleared up the cracks and I no longer have the problem. I do not

even have to have anything shaved when I go get my pedicures! I buy

mine at Bath and Bodyworks. It is in a blue bottle. I love it and

swear by it.

Cheers!

Shea butter is wonderful. L'Occitane has a full line of products

made with Shea butter:

Some of it's pricey, but definitely worth it and it smells great.
