EAST END SOAP COMPANY

My mother has always had good skin. Alabaster and without a wrinkle, even in her 70's she still has a lovely, creamy complexion to envy. Since she came to this country from Cuba in 1961 without a penny to her name, she wasn't exactly blessed with a life of luxury where she could visit spas or salons to pamper her, so she learned how to take care of her skin herself using natural ingredients and old-world ways. I learned at a young age that one of her secrets, other than staying out of the sun, was gentle exfoliation. She would take sugar or salt and mix it with some stuff from her fridge - an avocado, some honey, an egg - but most importantly, her tried and true bases - olive oil or coconut oil. Then she would wash her face and scrub away, leaving behind baby soft skin that to this day, is endlessly complemented on. To her, she felt as if every day was a spa day since she enjoyed her home-made, daily nourishing skin treatments... East End Soap Company specializes in natural handmade..
