I definitely won’t be purchasing this again and the only way I’d recommend it to someone is if they’re truly oily (large pores, blotting papers needed in the afternoon, oil on the skin all the time) and then it would be as a basic night cream…(click post title for more detail)

I first tried Avalon Organics about three years ago. Of course, it was cleanser that first drew me in (favorite product). I’m also a big fan of Vitamin C use on the skin so when I saw their Vitamin C Refreshing Cleansing Gel I got very excited…(click post title for more detail)

My friend Eliza loves Pangea Organics products and she gave me their Egyptian Basil & Mint Body Wash to try out. I happily obliged…(click post title for more detail)

got some samples of Pangea Organics cream for combination skin Nigerian ginger, sweet lavender & thyme over at Arkay Workshop and I totally love it… (click post title for more details)

Then, I was poking around at Target and saw their Skin Food in the section with the Juice Organics and other more natural products. I actually clapped and said “Yay! Weleda!” when I saw it and then had to get a tube of it the size of a tube of lip balm, just to try… (click post title for more details)

I like to spend time in the product section at Rainbow Grocery just looking at the options. I’ve noticed Humphreys Non-Drying Cleansing Gel a few times and finally decided to try it. They make a witch hazel toner which I haven’t tried but I like witch hazel toner so I figured I’d give it a shot… (click post title for more details)
