Top 5 Black Skin Body Lotion For Perfect Black Skin

African skin is physiologically different from that of other races. that's why, many Nigerians have found that using just any lotion, or lotions created with Caucasians in mind, may not be satisfactory to Africans.

With more and more Nigerians making the decision to stay away from hydroquinone, kojic acid, and other skin bleaching and lightening lotions, preferring to stick to products that nourish and moisturize the skin naturally, the question looms, “which lotions are best for African skin?”

Interestingly, when asked, “Which body lotion do you prefer?” 40 percent of respondents initially replied, “Anything with shea butter” before specifying their brand of choice. It is no wonder; even our great grandmothers treasured the precious ori, which, going by our survey, is still an essential commodity in the world of black skincare today, along with its cousin, cocoa butter.

Here are 5 lotions Nigerian women found out:

1. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion-
Cocoa Butter shows up again, this time paired with the trusted Palmer name. Apart from its delicious fragrance which has many Nigerians hooked on it, this lotion also contains Vitamin E, which prevents the skin from oxidation (the over-exposure of air causing the skin to dry out and appear dull.) Worthy of note is the fact that many respondents have used it from childhood.

2. Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturiser

It is proudly stated on the bottle that this lotion is blended with Pure African Shea Butter, and Nigerians have definitely taken note. Many Jergens products have been popular in Nigeria for years, but when it comes to rejuvenating the skin so that it glows and is supple, ori remains a favourite, and therefore Jergens Shea Butter takes the cake.

3. Shea Body Butter by The Body Shop-
It is no news that Nigerian women love shea butter; it is a natural source of antioxidants and vitamins. However, many have found the fragrance (or lack thereof) discouraging. The Body Shop is trusted for its commitment to natural, ethically produced beauty products, so for those who won’t use raw shea butter directly on their skin, Shea Body Butter is the next best thing.


4. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a fragrance-free lotion that has been clinically shown to moisturize for 24 hours. It contains natural colloidal oats and shea butter, relieving itchy, extra dry skin, and endearing it to many.

5. Vaseline Cocoa Radiant

Cocoa butter is widely loved for the way it erases marks and scars, evens the complexion, and leaves the skin smelling great. Here it is accompanied by natural oils to moisturize while alleviating dark spots. It also contains little alcohol, which can dry African skin. Add Vaseline’s Stratys-3 Innovation (patented technology suspending moisture across multiple layers of skin) to that, and you have an all-round winner.

Looted COVID Palliatives Were Meant For Special Vulnerable Group – Kwara Govt

  The state government in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Communications, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, on Friday, said the items were meant for the poor and a special group of vulnerable people. The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added. Afolabi-Oshatimehin explained that the looted items were meant for specific households, as dictated by CACOVID, and so names had to be properly gene...
