Shea butter?

I was told by a co-worker how wonderful this stuff is. I'm trying to find something that will help the rosacea I suffer from on my face, and this was recommended. It's not expensive, but I'm still hesitant to try it because the skin on my face is so sensitive.

    I've tried shea butter, I like it after a bath, especially after a bath or shower where I used an exfoliating sugar scrub or something. But I don't know if I'd put it on my face and I'm not sure if it is good to help with rosacea. I had a boyfriend with rosacea once and he didn't put any cream on it or anything, but then again, he was super defensive about it and if I ever brought it up he'd get upset. But he didn't use shea butter.

    Well..I just looked at rosacea.org and there's a bunch of risk factors and stuff, but no cause and no cure. pretty informative website, though.

    Yeah, no cause and no cure ... :sad:

    I think I'm going to give this a try in combination with African black soap. It certainly can't make things worse. A lot of the reviews on Amazon show it really helps with skin problems.

    I my wife works with a woman who I think uses Proactive for rosacea.
