Cinnamon Buns

  If you, like me, have ever tried Cake Beauty's Sweet Cheeks Better Body rub, you've instantly fallen in love with the luxurious texture, intense and long-lasting moisture it provides, the delectable cinnamon scent, and an increased tautness to the areas it has been applied.  It's listed on the website that the key ingredients in this moisture-rich formula are shea butter (very moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties too!) and Liftensyl.
  Liftensyl?  What is that?!  I took it upon myself to investigate... and here's what I came up with!  Liftensyl is a polymer derived from soy protein, and has immediate, "flash effect" skin tightening properties.  It's got fantastic anti-aging properties and is widely used in European cosmetics. 
  Along with Liftensyl and shea butter, this deluxe moisturizer also contains caffeine, which helps to stimulate circulation (and thus diminish cellulite) and horse chestnut extract.  Horse, what?!
  Horse chestnut is a plant that is poisonous to most animals.  It contains a saponin-class toxin called Aesculin, which is a glycoside.  When prepared for cosmetic-grade use, horse chestnut can help to increase blood circulation, thin the blood, prevent water retention, and overall, exhibits diuretic-type properties.  Moreover, horse chestnut contains flavinoids, glycosides, and saponins, which collectively have anti-inflammatory and healing properties. 
  I absolutely LOVE this product, and would recommend it to anyone who is in need of a little lift - both psychologically and physically.
