I received a couple samples of this bar back when I was working for an animal sanctuary. I had forgotten about them until recently when I was doing some winter cleaning in my bathroom and they came tumbling off the top shelf of my medicine cabinet.

Since its winter, my skin has become very dry. Even when it looks okay, it feels awful. I had been experimenting with different facial lotions but nothing seemed to help me get rid of that feeling of dryness.

The first time I used the bar, I scrubbed way to hard. The bar has oatmeal, almond and walnut meal in it for exfoliating and I used it like I was buffing a car. A few days later, after the redness has dissipated, I tried again. This time, I gently moved the bar in circular motions across my face. That night it didn't seem any different, but I put on my calming cream and went to bed. The next morning, looking into my bathroom mirror, I noticed the difference.

A significant dry patch I had on my right cheek had almost disappeared. It wasn't visible any longer and when I touched it I could hardly feel it. Between the car waxing and the gentle exfoliating, I had managed to rid my face of that layer of dry, dead, winter skin.

I use the bars now every night before bed, finishing each time with a cream. I love that it is organic and all natural and the scent is light but sweet. I recommend this product for anyone else, man or woman, dealing with dry patch issues. Just remember not to be too hard on your skin.
