DIY Shea Butter Night Cream

“What’s a night cream?”

Quite a number of people don’t know what a night cream is. But when you’re a college student, I bet you’ve heard of ‘em! It’s a facial cream applied at night time designed to tackle problems like dark circles, under-eye bags, dark spots and dull skin.

Stress (from nearing deadlines and college assignments) can take a toll on your face. But you don’t want to look tired and haggardly all the time right? So taking some time to make a DIY shea butter night cream is a good investment for your precious facial skin.

It’s quite easy to whip up a night cream and it doesn’t take much effort to use it every night. Simply wash your face as usual before bed time, pat dry with a towel then take a pea-sized amount of the night cream and deeply massage it in.

This recipe is safe for sensitive skin and acne prone skin! Hurrah!
