Shea butter is well known for its skin moisturizing properties. It helps reduce wrinkles and also treats eczema and other such skin conditions.
Tea tree oil is an antibacterial that helps fight pimples and maintain blemish-free skin. The essential oils help soothe the skin and also relax the senses. Almond oil is rich in vitamin E, which can very well be called an elixir for younger-looking skin.
