Cinnamon Soap Can Make Your Skin Softer!

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Craw-fish Festival in Memphis, Tennessee, at the Madison Square in 2008. There were lots of craw-fish being eaten, beer being drank, music, dancing, and plenty of friendly vendors selling novelty items. Call it coincidence or call it fate, but I managed to pass by a tent that was selling one of the best undiscovered secrets for softer skin: Cinnamon Soap. The tent had a wide selection of all natural, handmade soaps, but the one that really pulled in my attention by means of my olfactory nerves (nose) was "Warm Cinnamon." I asked the smiling man and woman at the tent how much the soap cost, and at a very affordable $3, I managed to buy a few of these wonderfully scented bars of soap. With each bar, they gave me a small piece of paper that included the list of ingredients of each bar, the name of the company that made them: Buckeye Hollow, as well as their web address.

The bar of soap, Warm Cinnamon, contains cinnamon leaf oil, ground cinnamon, as well as a few other natural ingredients. It is reddish brown in color with black flecks of cinnamon. The first time I used it in the shower I noticed that the wonderful cinnamon smell was intensified by the hot water. It smelled so good that I could have eaten it! I also noticed that the cinnamon flecks were gritty and rough like sand, so I made sure to not use it on any very sensitive areas of my body. This bar lived up to its name of Warm Cinnamon because it definitely left a warming sensation on my skin. To my surprise, this bar had another affect on my skin . . . after getting out of the shower and drying off, I noticed that my skin felt smoother. I felt so soft and revived after my shower; I just had to look at the small piece of paper that came with the bar of soap again to make sure that there was an ordering address. I immediately decided to share the other bars I had bought with a couple of friends to see if they felt the same.
