Do all teas have the same effect on health?
Tea’s medicinal property is directly proportional to the amount of antioxidants present in it. This, in return, is dependent which leaves are used and how they are processed. The more the leaves are processed, the lower the antioxidants they retain. Each kind of tea (black, green, oolong, and white) undergoes a different processing technique, and therefore carry varying levels of caffeine, calories and antioxidants.
What Is Body Butter?
Body butter is a skin moisturizer. F&B products contain shea butter, coconut oil and/or other vegetable-based oils and butters. Body Butter is most notable for being thicker than body lotions and moisturizer which is why you’re more likely to find body butters in a jar than a bottle so you can easily scoop out your desired amount of body cream. Body butters are also known to be more effective at nourishing and rejuvenating dry skin, whether used all over or only on problem patches, such as elbows and knees.
When and how to use body butter?
Lock in moisture by using body butter straight after your shower.
You can use body butter at any time of day or night. But the best way to make sure you’re sealing in moisture is to use body butter within 5 minutes of showering.
Hot water can dry out your skin so make sure your water is running warm (…but not too warm!) then post-shower, massage your chosen hydrating body butter all over your skin to help lock in moisture.
If you have dry skin, it’s best to use body butter daily. Meanwhile, if you have normal or oily skin you may only need to use body butter every 2-3 days, as a weekly treatment or just to treat problematic dry patches.
Apply body butter before bed for an overnight moisture treatment
One of our favorite tips for making the most of your body butter is to apply it just before bed for an intensive overnight moisturizing treatment.
When applying the body butter before bed, it’s best to only lightly massage the body butter into skin. This is because whilst you sleep, the rest of the body butter on your skin will have more time to work it’s magic and soak into our skin.
For an extra nourishing skincare treat, apply body butter liberally to your feet before putting on a pair of cosy socks and getting into bed for the night. Socks will help lock the moisture in, perfect for nourishing dry, tired feet.

Can body scrub be used all over the body?
Safety tips. F&B products are homemade scrubs and are only intended to be used on your body, not your face. The skin on your face is more sensitive than the skin on the rest of your body.
How do you use body scrubs effectively?
It's best to use a body scrub once your skin is already free of dust and dirt that may have accumulated on your skin already. This way, the scrub can work its magic of cleansing more effectively! So, make sure that you shower with lukewarm water and you finish using soap or a body wash prior to using your body scrub.
