Cinnamon Sensation

Cinnamon

CinnamonHey Earth’s Enrichers 

The winter holidays are drawing near along with the wonderful decadence of pumpkin spice and, you guessed it, cinnamon! It’s like the scent of energy and nostalgia. Not only does it make a great aroma but it’s used to spice up the best desserts– apple pie, pumpkin pie, hot chocolate– you get the picture, right? But it’s more than just a fine scent and magical taste, it is also a spice that is good for your skin!

Take it from us, we know how it sounds when we say that a spice is good for your skin. We can hear you now, “I’m not a dessert!” But Cinnamon-bun, grated or in essential oils, cinnamon can bring out the best in your skin and banish the worst. For instance, cinnamon can dry acne and relieve an itchy scalp. No lie!

This is totally legit– cinnamon can treat eczema, exfoliate, and cleanse the scalp. Not bad for a spice that’s known for the holidays and apple pie. Following the premise of most spices, cinnamon is utilized to prevent bacteria from growing on food, so naturally it would be pretty good at being an antiseptic for your skin.

For those of you who are not so fond of cinnamon, we hoped we changed your mind. Cinnamon can exfoliate, alleviate, soften, and cleanse your skin– it seems like a win/win, if you ask us. As always, remember, know your skin. If you’re allergic to cinnamon, then perhaps try other natural means of keeping your skin healthy. If you don’t know if you’re allergic, please consult a professional– doing your own research reaps the best results.

The EE 411: Cinnamon – Chai La Tea

Since we’ve boosted cinnamon’s self-esteem, we bet you can see why we had to use it in our Chai La Tea bar soap. Cinnamon can bring out the best in your skin. Not to mention, cinnamon is one of the key ingredients used to make a better skin care product that helps protect and look after your skin! While you bathe with our Chai La Tea soap, take comfort in knowing that this bar is working to relieve your body of dead skin and is fighting bacteria.

Oh, and we almost forgot about our Coconut Chai lip balm! Here’s a really special perk about cinnamon– it can make your skin lush and plump. Need we say more?

Organic Skin Care 101

Organic Skin Care 101

Welcome Back Earth’s Enrichers! The school year has officially started and it’s time for some fun and beneficial skincare education. Don’t worry, we won’t lecture you, but let’s look at why we do what we do to our skin. So, let’s begin, why is skincare important? Seriously! Let’s think about it.

 There are certain regiments that we practice as our signature skincare routine.  Although it’s not always in the same order, we cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, apply sunscreen, use shaving cream when shaving, and wash our hair. Have you ever thought about what happened if we didn’t do some of these things? 

If we didn’t perform healthy skincare practices, we would weaken our most prominent protection against the environment (not to mention we’d be quite smelly as well). Proper skin care helps strengthen our body’s largest organ. For instance, if we don’t clean our skin we leave it exposed to germs, infections, and bacteria that could break our skin out. This could also cause long term damage.

During the course of the next few weeks, we will talk more in depth with you about the importance of the following skin rituals: cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, applying sunscreen, the pros and cons of using shaving cream while shaving, and washing our hair. 

The EE 411

Although skincare is quite important, it can be too much of a good thing. Say you love peanut butter and you eat it every day, sooner or later you will begin to rethink your desire. The same goes for over cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, applying sunscreen, shaving and even washing your hair in some cases. By overdoing even one of these things you could irritate or damage your skin. The key is knowing your skin and how to balance your regiment.

Tell Us: What are some of your skincare routines that you can’t live without? For instance, moisturizing your hands before you go to bed.
