wow. i never thought of that, but i don't have wrinkles ard my eyes yet so...

yup i have thought of buying shea butter in bulk online, but then i've only ever used the pure unrefined stuff that bf's mother gets in ghana. I think i will scout around online, but then i think i will also need to find a supplier who'll ship to Singapore. thats gonna be the expensive part. But bf's going back to ghana in jan, so maybe i'll ask him to get me some and post it to me... I'm more worried about the source, coz sometimes they're chemically treated, then it changes the quality of the shea butter. I will check out the source that you linked

I also use jojoba oil as a night moisturiser! its the only thing i've tried that doesnt break me out hugely.

my skin has been super dry since i got here (new york) so i use the clinique moisture surge, topped with jojoba oil. my face skin does not hurt anymore.
