2 min readUsing a Shea butter body scrub is one of the best ways to maintain your skin’s natural healthy oils while getting rid of acne and other blemishes. It is also great for those with sensitive skin, as it is rich in anti-inflammatory properties.

It softens the pores that lines the skin and removes excess oil that clogs the pores.
