Necessity is the mother of invention!
Yes only 1 or 2 drops of essential oil for a tablespoon or more of carrier oil I believe it said. I got a little too excited with the peppermint oil ? definitely learned my lesson after the first time haha
What happened?
Bumpity bump: Ark cooked something
Any other Brothers testing stuff out there? I haven't had the chance to make it a 2 massages per day habit out of the oil combination I made.
Jury is still out there, no issues at least so far. Butae Superba can be taken internally as well and it's touted as a "male rejuvenating elixir" in a way. Not my words!
I have been using a coconut oil shea butter mixture that my wife put together when I do my BM sessions and it is working pretty well. I was using hair conditioner but the good stuff that works the best is a little pricey. The mixture I am using now has helped with the discoloring I was getting after a session. It also leaves my skin really soft
BonusYes, I hear you! I must had been a teenager when I first experimented with peppermint (or spearmint) essential oil, non-diluted to my nether regions!
Needless to say, I didn't sleep too well that night, had to wash it off several times and the residue remained. Lesson learned indeed. @Lookn4girth Yeah, coconut oil and shea butter are pretty great, I favor the latter. Haven't tried the combination as I've had issues related to coconut oil. Maybe in a mixture like you described the comedogenic properties of coconut oil are lesser.
I have received straight up non-diluted or whitened Shea butter from Africa, I have to say that it's best to get the non-bleached stuff. I've read that the cleared Shea butter doesn't have much of the healing properties that might be in the slightly "dirtier" shea butter.
I've used the clearer stuff in success though, but that has been more in hair care and deodorant form.
On "another" note, I bought some Aloe Vera gel; also a very good skin conditioner.
I do also have Xyliderm gel that has Xylitol as one of the ingredients, supposed to be good for dry, atopic or broken skin.
With so many products in my life it's sometimes overwhelming to use just one thing to the last drop and to have a valid opinion of a certain product.
But so far Shea Butter and Black Seed oil have been pretty much on the top of my skin care regimen list.
There are a lot of solutions for different issues out there. Just like there are different skin types, there are more suitable solutions for different people.
Some benefit largely from Coconut Oil, others get pimples from it. It's about certain balance and finding it.
For me it has been an on-going journey for probably more than 15 years ... During the last two years or so I think I've found out what works for me. Live and learn!
