I could slather honey and berries on my face all I want, but there's no way I would get the same stunning effects as with Laurel Whole Plant Organics.

The quality of ingredients and thus results of using this organic flower- and herb-based face and body care line is staggering.

Everything I tried showed vast improvements immediately. Within moments of application.

It was love at first sight/try.

Laurel Whole Plant Organics has seriously high standards. Using only the best organic ingredients, biodynamic ingredients, and raw, unrefined whole plant ingredients would be enough. But they go the extra mile and source directly from farmers, ensuring you're getting the serious good stuff.

Founder and creator Laurel Shaffer believes that the "purity and integrity of our ingredients are what make our formulas so effective. The purer and more unaltered the whole plant ingredient, the more powerful the results. Plants are the strongest anti-aging tools we have. Their abilities are not harnessed by dissecting them, diluting them, refining them with chemicals, or growing and producing their ‘extracts’ in masses – their power is in their purity."

I have seen the proof first hand. The products are some of the best I've ever used in ten years of testing skincare lines. There is real care, attention and love to the products. 

And of course you never have to worry about harmful ingredients such as parabens, synthetic fragrances, GMOs, non-organically grown plants, carcinogens or any toxic chemical of any kind mixing in with their top-notch ingredients.

I can't get over the sheer strength of everything they've created, all with completely natural ingredients.

Here's what I tried and am seriously crushing on:

- Honey Berry Enzyme Facial Mask

God it smells amazing. So good in fact, you'll want to slather this honey, strawberry and blueberry syrup on toast and have it for breakfast or late at night curled up with Netflix. But save it for that beautiful mug of yours,  because you are going to be astounded by the outcome.

It does double duty - first it exfoliates the skin, and then gives it a major infusion with nourishing ingredients. You don't need much - apply 1 teaspoon at most ,and be sure your skin is moist (it's a harsh on completely dry skin) and leave on for 10-15 minutes.

Using honey, strawberries, blueberries, grapefruit and raw royal jelly (famous for it's anti-aging properties) among other ingredients, you won't believe the transformation - bright, renewed plump skin that's complete nourished and hydrated. You'll see the difference right away. And you'll notice how long the effects last. Two days later and I had skipped using foundation all together.

- Antioxidant Facial Serum

This serum contains not just 100% whole plant organics, but  27 beneficial active ingredients. I call it the "Wonder Serum" because you get profound treatment, plus protection against aging as well as the sun.

The non-oily oils go deep into your skin - you'll feel the instantaneous quenching. My skin drank it in like a parched traveller. The whole plant blend using powerful ingredients such as comfrey, calendula, gotu kola (for premature aging), nettle and rosehip is stacked with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and EFAs that go to work on that work-in-progress dermis of yours.

The intoxicating scent comes way of a blend of organic and therapeutic grade essential oils comprised of frankincense, jasmine, myrrh, neroli, rose and sandalwood, but they are just there for their  awesome fragrance. They plump and nurture your skin like you wouldn't believe - frankincense, for example, restores skin tone and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. Talk about radiant. This one's a game changer.

- Eye Balm

Have you noticed how some eye creams are great until you go to apply your makeup? You don't have to worry about that with this awesome salve. The paste goes on like a dream, though it's recommended for night use. The thick and rich balm feels incredible on.

It's a lifesaver for after those late nights and early mornings, injecting your delicate eyes with powerful ingredients (bilberry, fennel, licorice, and nettle, for example) that go to work on those puffy pillows, dark circles and fine lines.

And that dreamy scent is thanks to essentials oils including lavender and bergamot that also brighten those peepers of yours. 

You may be sleep-deprived but you no longer have to look like it.

- Normal/Mature Facial Elixir

Facial sprays, spritzers and refreshers are getting a whole new focus this year and while I haven't been much of a user in the past, this one's breathtaking scent has changed all that.

It smells so good I don't want to just mist my face, but I want it on my pillows and sheets and in the air throughout the house.

Now can you imagine how good that will feel on your face?

And this one also happens to have powerful anti-agers built right in.

I'm a convert now.

- California Body Oil

I could go on and on about how deeply nourishing and hydrating it is and its heady scent, but you already know that by now, because Laurel Whole Plant Organics products rock so hard.

All you really need to know about this l'il ray of sunshine is that it's a vacay in a bottle. It's like bringing the Golden State to you. Without the wait at the airport, heavy luggage, or the long lines at customs.

I cannot get enough of Laurel Whole Plant Organics products. Neither will you I'm sure, so shop now and stock up.
