"Hello, my name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley Skin Solutions. I've been a clinical aesthetician for half a decade and I'm going to talk to you about what body butter is used for. Body butter is just like lotion without the water. Normal lotions are 70 to 90% water and so, with body butter, you're basically just getting all of the oils and the butters, no preservatives, no water. So, it may seem a little heavy at first, but it does absorb quickly and it will last for a very long time. In fact, it doesn't just wash off like hand lotion does. So, if you are in water a lot and if you're washing your hands constantly throughout the day, body butter is a great solution for dry hands. Now, you can actually make your own body butter at home too. There's all kinds of recipes you can find on the web and it's very, very easy. It starts with Shea butter and it just has a few other ingredients. So body butter is the answer for dry, irritated or chapped skin. My name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley Skin Solutions and that is all about body butter."
