My Favorite Things: Avalon Organics Toner


I'm a huge fan of Avalon Organics products, but their Lavender toner is by far my favorite. I use this morning and night and it's just so refreshing. My skin is really sensitive and dries out or breaks out very easily.

Personally, I mix 2 tablespoons of tea tree oil with avalon organics hydrating toner and promise there is nothing better, hehe. Just wait until there's enough room to fit the tea tree oil into the toner and pour it on in. Then make sure you shake it up before you use it, as the oil and water aren't going to mix. The tea tree oil is super refreshing and the only thing I can use to prevent breakouts that doesn't dry out my skin. Mixed with the toner is feels like I'm having an herbal fiesta on my face.

I follow up with my favorite moisturizer and wake up every morning with silky soft skin. I swear this toner/tea tree oil combination is the best thing that has ever happened to my skin. Plus I like the fact that it's natural. On the Avalon website they present a very good point: skin is an organ and what you put on it can be absorbed into the body, so you should probably keep it as chemical free as possible. I completely agree with this school of thought and suggest you keep the Benzoyl Peroxide off your face. If it bleaches your clothes, you probably shouldn't put it on your face.
