My Favorite Organic Face Products!

 

I am just in love with these face products!  I have been using these three products for almost a year now.  All are Avalon Organics from their Vitamin C Line.  I love that they smell so good but even more I love that they're organic and I know that I'm putting good product on my face.

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Vitality Facial Serum 
 Vitamin C Vitality Facial Serum Vitamin C Skin Care Signature ingredient: Magnesium Ascorbal Phosphate is a form of vitamin C that is readily utilized by the skin cells to protect against damaging free radicals, and stimulate collagen and elastin production. One of the most stable forms of vitamin C, it will remain active over the shelf life of the product. Formulated with a powerful antioxidant team - Vitamins C & E, Lemon Bioflavanoids and Melatonin plus White and Green Teas - because antioxidants perform longer and more effectively when used in combination.
