DIY Key Lime Pie Moisturizer for Zesty, Hydrated Skin
A refreshing treat day or night! Lime juice and its natural oils are beneficial for skin when applied externally. Limes are said to rejuvenate the skin, keep it shining, protect it from infections and reduce body order due to the presence of a large amount of vitamin C and flavonoids. Those are both antioxidants tha have antibiotic and disinfectant properties.
When applied externally on skin, its acids scrub out the dead cells, cures dandruff, rashes, and bruises. It can also be used to create a refreshing bathing experience if its juice or oil is mixed into your bathing water.
This cream is a 2-part blend that includes 1/2 whipped shea butter and 1/2 fruit suspended in a nourishing aloe gel that brings vitamin-packed softness to skin. It's so light and silky to the touch - your skin will feel supple and smell simply luscious.
