BENEFITS OF SHEA BUTTER TO THE SKIN

~2.3 mins read

Shea butter is a creamy fat found in nuts growing on shea trees in African countries. It’s solid at room temperature but melts on contact with skin, similar to coconut oil.

And while it’s edible and used in many African recipes, it’s primarily found in skin and hair care products in the United States.

You can safely apply shea butter to your face, lips and body. Some body scrubs and hair conditioners also contain shea butter for its moisturizing effects.

However, notes Dr. Vij, it’s not the best option for acne-prone skin. Shea butter may clog pores and lead to more breakouts. And those with seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff should note that yeast related to dandruff can grow in shea butter.

Shea butter benefits the skin in several ways. Here’s how it boosts skin health:

1. Relieves dry skin

Typically, you can find shea butter in lotions for people with dry skin. Shea butter contains fatty acids. They lubricate the skin and create a barrier that keeps moisture in. In people with oilier skin, sebum (natural skin oil) does this job. But for those with drier skin, a moisturizer helps maintain dewiness.

2. Eases irritation

Shea butter contains anti-inflammatory substances, which ease swelling and redness in skin. People use it for any irritation, from sunburns to chapped lips to skin that’s reacting to too many acid peels or scrubs.

3. Prevents cell damage

Cosmetics companies often add antioxidants (substances that protect cells) to anti-aging skin care. Shea butter contains two antioxidants:

Vitamin A

“Vitamin A is crucial for skin health,” says Dr. Vij. “Since the 1970s, we’ve used retinoids — synthetic forms of vitamin A — to firm skin and reduce wrinkles.”

It works by increasing the skin-cell turnover rate, smoothing the skin’s surface. It also plumps skin by stimulating the production of collagen, the framework that keeps your skin from sagging.

Vitamin E

Shea butter naturally has a lot of vitamin E.

Even better? The majority of it is alpha-tocopherol (one of eight forms of vitamin E), which has the highest antioxidant activity. Vitamin E is in our sebum, so oilier skins have more of it.

But sebum production tends to decline with age. Sunlight exposure depletes it, too. Vitamin E helps skin by preventing cellular damage and boosting moisture.

4. Provides sun protection

Shea butter has a sun protection factor (SPF) of about three or four. It’s too small to prevent sun damage or sunburn on its own.

But manufacturers combine it with other ingredients to reach levels of SPF 15 or higher. Plus, you get all the soothing, moisturizing and anti-aging benefits of shea butter.

5. Doesn’t cause allergic reactions

Shea butter is safe for people with nut allergies. Allergens are proteins. While shea butter does come from nuts, it’s made entirely of fat, so it’s allergen-free. Additionally, no one has reported a reaction to it.

Using shea butter regularly helps skin retain moisture, which makes it soft and smooth. Since it’s loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, it may also keep your skin supple.

DSS GIVES NNPC, IPMAN, NUPENG, OTHERS 48 HOURS TO END FUEL SCARCITY

~2.4 mins read

The Department of State Services (DSS) has issued a 48 hours ultimatum to all stakeholders in the oil industry to resolve the ongoing fuel scarcity across the country.

The secret agency warned that it would launch a nationwide operation on saboteurs if there are still queues at various filling stations in the country after the ultimatum.

DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, stated this shortly after the Director-General of DSS, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, met with major stakeholders in the oil industry at the agency headquarters in Abuja yesterday.

Afunanya said stakeholders at the meeting included: Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), depot operators, among others.

Afunanya said at the meeting, the DSS boss made it clear to the stakeholders that “enough is enough”, saying “we made it clear that whatever the hurdles are, they must be resolved, adding that Nigerians have every right to access fuel.”

He said the DSS decided to intervene in the matter because it has the mandate to investigate economic sabotage, including detecting and preventing threats to national security.

He said though the agency cannot link the current fuel scarcity to economic sabotage, it was ready to rise to the occasion to curtail the situation.

According to him, the agency told all parties involved that DSS won’t continue to tolerate the incessant fuel scarcity, adding that all of them must go beyond their best to ensure adequate supply of petrol across the country.

Afunanya said NNPCL has agreed to sell fuel at the official ex-depot price to all marketers nationwide. NNPCL also disclosed that it has sufficient stock of product, about 1.9 billion litres for distribution across the country even until after the Yuletide period.

“The question is if there is sufficient petroleum product, why the scarcity?” Afunanya queried.

According to him, other agreements reached were “NNPCL agreed to decentralise distribution of the product to all marketers.

“MOMAN and NNPCL from time to time will review the distribution chain to ensure that all bottlenecks concerning distribution are permanently resolved.

“There is an agreement that marketers will be operating for 24hrs on daily basis. The tankers also agreed that from now on all hands will be on deck to ensure lifting of the products.

IPMAN, Afunanya observed has also committed itself to ensure that the product is available for 24hrs daily.

“For we at the DSS, we agreed to provide adequate security for fuel distribution.

“Therefore, we insisted that the fuel distribution must improve and all challenges eliminated in 48hrs, and after 48hrs, we will as a matter of urgency carryout operations across the country. And in doing this, we won’t mind whose oars is gored”, he stated.

Noting that it won’t be business as usual, Afunanya said DSS commands and platform nationwide had been put on high alert, adding that “they are to get information on any element who want to obstruct these efforts.”

He advised Nigerians not to take laws into their hands, noting that the DSS had extracted commitment from the stakeholders that all issues will be resolved within the next 48hrs.

WORD

SEX IS NEVER ENOUGH....................

It's possible for any man to ask for sex in a relationship, but is left for you as a lady to know that sex, can't keep him..(Sex isn't enough)

There are two major factors ladies complain about sex in a relationship:

1. After giving him my body he left me..

2. He left because I refused to have sex with him..

NOTE: Both those who gave and those who refused to give are complaining...

( Whats the difference)

Ladies Listen, Sex isn't enough, its not the only thing you can offer a man.

If You Don't Have Anything To Offer A Man Outside Sex, Please remain Single...

A man can't stay with you because his having sex with you....

Relationship is not buying and selling.

There are much to life than Monkey style, Doggy style, Missionary style, Apple and juice style, step pillows style, etc ...

Are you sound intellectually? Spiritually? Physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

Men love intelligent ladies...✅

Men love ladies with ideas... ✅

Men loves ladies that can challenge them to do more, ladies that talk to them with 🈯️uncommon intelligence and understanding, ladies with vision and ladies that can groom them to get d best out of themselves.

Men love respectful ladies...ladies that can also see tomorrow and plan ahead.. (builders of dreams for their man)

Sex is very cheap these days, anybody can buy it.... Yes any body, along the streets, hotels e.t.c.

You need to build yourself beyond just sex.

Leave make-ups and be a productive lady.

Men are looking for ladies with ideas and solution not those who paint their faces with different colours every time.

What a man wants is beauty with brain not make ups with boobs or hips....

Sex is not everything about life there is more to life than sex ..

So pls build yourself very well , so that when the man is now coming to you your ability to arouse his loins and his intellect is what will keep you with the man outside that sex is sold on the street and he can always buy it .. Is cheaper everyday..

HEALTH IS WEALTH

~1.5 mins read

people in Nigeria don't like it whenever you ask them to go for medical check up. To them, it looks like you don't know what you are saying and if they should reply you, they will be like 'why should I go for medical check up when am not sick'. You don't have to be sick before going for medical check up sir. Is just like you having a car and you have a fixed date or time for servicing the car, it might be on e in every two weeks or once In a month, which ever way.

Servicing the car at a fixed time or date is what is refer to as maintenance. You have to maintain a car you don't have to waiting for the car to break down before going to a mechanic workshop. Maintaining a car help you to know of there is any internal gradual failure in the car, same thing is also applied to the human body.

You go out of your house everyday as early as 7:30am and comes back home stressed out by 6:00pm let say it continues six months, then suddenly you fall sick, you will now start saying the witch in your fathers house is the one after your Life, stop accusing innocent witch jor, free them 😀. The sickness as been in your body system for a while but you did not notice it. If you have been good for medical check up it won't turn out this way.

If you had gone for medical check up and anything form of sickness was dictated in it initial stage (maybe malaria) it would have been treated with little money, maybe by buying just few drugs that's all, but you wait until you are sick (breakdown), you will spend much o they might even place you on admission for days or weeks, then you won't be able to go for that your job for days or weeks.

I know we all have to hustle here and there to get our daily bread but it only with a sound body that we can work that is why it always said that health is wealth.

Thank you

MANNERISM

~2.5 mins read

Talking of manners.

Hmmmm, lets always guard our attitude towards others, beside everybody has their others ( everybody bad mouth) but we choose not to put on that other side attitude everytime. Most of our parents really tried in training us but most of us just decide to choose to go the way. Yeah, I know some parents doesn't know how to discipline children, some doesn't even like to discipline children at all. Fine, let say you were talked to or disciplined fro home, aunty you can also discipline yourself ma, at least by listening to good advice read the holy book, pray for God to help you, follow friend of good influence not slay Mama's o.

With these I believe you can come up with a good attitude but one problem with people with bad manner is that they don't take advice, everything they do seems right to them.

I know you would say I also have a story to tell in most of my article, yes, because I lean and speak from what I have seen so far (my experience)

My roommate back then in school during my national diploma has some kind attitude that it is not pleasant. One of the attitude is that, she wake up in the morning boning her face like she was chased by a masquerade in her dream, she will not greeting anyone in the room even if you greet her she won't answer you, but guess what, if it her male friends or boyfriends that called her that morning, she will be nice to them greeting with smile after the call she goes back to her boning attitude again, by 10am when she want to eat she will now start smiling. At times she might stay from morning till 2pm boning with everyone in the room while we are not even fighting or quarreling but she's always a good girl online to her guys.

I called her and I asked her why are you always like this? But there was no reason for her action, she feels what she's doing is right. I told her, even if you are having a problem you don't have to put it on your facial look. Even I here, I have mine too, but always remember this put a smile on your face no matter the condition or circumstances. But she refused the advice as usual. My order roommate always advise her too which she doesn't listen to, but I never gave up on her until the day she changed. I said to her times with out number, whatsoever 1,2,3 person as been saying constantly to you that it is bad you should know that it's bad.

It was a new semester, she woke up that morning and she greeted us even before we do, we were all surprised due we answered her with a smiling face but later that day we were laughing about it together because she finally change she always joined us laughing.

Everybody needs to have good manner especially the ladies. Don't say he will like me for who I am , Aunty nobody, as in, no guy like rubbish. He might tolerate you during the relationship but when you get home, my sister is either you obey or you will always be having family conflict or you go for divorce.

Good manners makes you last long in your husband house

Good manners makes you look perfect in your place of work and even school.

Lean good manners posses good manners to person.

Thank you
