A New Type of Java Jolt: Caffeinated Soap
Published on: January 10, 2007
If you need a little buzz before your usual morning coffee-pick-me up, check out the newest wake-me-up product: caffeinated soaps. Yes, that's right, caffeine IN the soap. Suds up with tingly peppermint to stimulate all the senses and a caffeine jolt to stimulate your skin.
These new soaps are gently invigorating, infused with about 200 to 250 mg of caffeine anhydrous per use and the refreshing scent of pure peppermint oil in a gentle glycerin base.
Manufacturers claim that cellulite will lessen in appearance and that continuous use of caffeinated soap may lower the risk of some skin cancers. Alas, medical scientists say that's not possible with such a modest topical application but it certainly won't hurt. You will definitely enjoy a thorough aromatherapy experience. The soap has fewer chemicals and loads of soothing glycerin, so you'll not only get clean, your skin will be softer and smoother, and your spirits will definitely be high. And, that's BEFORE, your usual cup of coffee!
Each 4.5 ounce bar is good for at least 12 to 15 long, luxurious showers, and available from such brands as Costic, X Oxide, and Shower Shock marketed on many computer geek sites, the better to stretch a programmer's day to an endless cyberspace experience. To buy, check www.x-tremegeek.com; www.xoxide.com, www.thinkgeek.com or www.wishingfish.com. Offered from $4.99 to $7.99 and in lower priced three-packs.
So, if you're looking for the most novel way to start each and every day of 2007, try the stimulating, sudsy shower pleasures of caffeinated soap! You're body will definitely say, "AH!"
