Varney’s Shea Butter is a wonderful moisturizer and protector for all skin and hair types. Men can benefit from its natural properties, as well as women. The coarse nature of facial hair can be a nightmare, and finding proper products to maintain a healthy and full beard is a challenge. No worries, our all natural, cold-pressed ingredients and formula make our products perfect for men’s shea butter needs. Using Varney’s shea butter for beard health will help your beard maintain its natural shine and leave it soft to the touch for hours on end, promoting health in more ways than one. If you are applying color to your hair or beard, our shea butter works great as a beard blending agent, providing a seamless and youthful appearance. While these uses of shea butter for hair and beard health are great news for men, they are not the only needs that can be addressed in a man’s day to day routine.   

Are you a man that’s losing some hair up top, or prefer a more clean shaven look? Our shea butter can be of immense help for you too! Our shea and mango butters contain anti-inflammatory agents that soothe delicate neck areas, helping to prevent razor burn and bumps. Shaving practices vary, with each individual hair and skin type steering some men to shave exclusively with oil rather than cream. Using either approach, it’s a great idea to incorporate shea butter for shaving. Adding a bit of Varney’s shea butter to your preferred shave oil will add an extra layer of moisture and protection after every shave, or just apply our mango butter under the shaving cream to help prevent dryness and irritation. It’s a game changer.

Shea butter uses and daily applications for men

While shea butter is great for facial hair and scalp care, it can be equally beneficial when attacking the dry cracked hands that can occur while working blue collar jobs. Construction for example can cause massive amounts of damage to men’s skin. Drying and cracking, cuts and bruises. The daily routine can become a problem when trying to keep yourself healthy, and daily application of shea butter in the morning can protect you from harmful temperatures and pollutants while keeping you comfortable. If you spend all day in harmful sun rays, or spend time in the sauna heat can be both beneficial and harmful to our overall health. Applying shea butter for skin maintenance can make a difference, both in immediate and long-term skin health.
