Ava's Creations// Earthwise Beauty Talk

Ava is the creator and superwoman of Earthwise Beauty. She's a sweet woman with a kind heart, and great attention to detail. During her college years she had been making DIY natural skin care products during her down time. She then started learning about herbal healing, nutrition, and so forth. Ava's co-workers would ask for her homemade custom products, and that's how it all started! And we are the lucky ones now, because her products are amazing. Most of her products are vegan, (some containing humane honey, if you're okay with that) organic, natural, and cruelty free! Woo hoo!

Ava truly cares, and you can tell she puts her whole soul into every item. She also gives amazing descriptions on her website about each product!
So let's talk products now!

Green Leaves & Co. Facial Oil: It is a noncomedogenic, anti-microbial, healing and prevention of acne magical potion (no joke, and I am not just saying that because Halloween is coming up!)
I put this on the first night I was gifted these from my good friend Noeli, you can find her on YouTube under the name NZ0424. (For some reason I can't post links at this time)
Ingredients- Virgin cold-press unrefined Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil*†, virgin cold-press unrefined Simmondsia chinensis (golden jojoba) oil*, Rosmarinus officinalis ct. verbenone (rosemary) oil*, Thymus vulgaris ct. linalool (thyme) oil*, Viola odorata leaves absolute*, wildcrafted Lavandula angustifolia (high-altitude French lavender, from Haute Provence) oil, Citrus clementine leaves oil* (from Corsica), Ocimum sanctum (holy basil) oil* (from India, of course), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract.
Look at how wonderful these ingredients are? Plus this little wonder smells like a bushel of herbs, which is such a delight. I woke up the first day after I first used this oil, and my face was blemish free! Green Leaves & Co. is a complete miracle. My face was smooth and still moisturized from the night before, which rarely happens since my skin is extremely dry. I went through this sample in about two weeks. I cried a little when I finished it, because it was probably the best thing my skin has ever reacted to. I now need to purchase the full size.
Full size 1 oz for $42, Sample size .25 oz for $10

Scarborough Fair Face Wash: It's an herbal face wash with infusions of thyme, sage, and rosemary.
Ingredients- herbal infusion {distilled water, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaves†, Thymus vulgaris (thyme) leaves†}, water, Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil†‡, potassium hydroxide (but none remains in the final product, after saponifying oils into soap and glycerin), Aloe barbadensis juice†, Olea europaea (olive) oil†‡, Prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil†, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) esters†, Citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed extract, vegetable glycerin (from soy)†, Cannabis sativa (hemp) oil†, natural ECOCERT-approved preservative {glycerin, Leuconostoc (radish root) ferment filtrate, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, Lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) extract, Populus tremuloides bark extract, glucono-lactone}, guar gum, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) oil†, Salvia officinalis (sage) oil†, citric acid, tocopherol (vit. E).

Apparently my face really loves rosemary and thyme. For the two weeks I had used this, I had no blemishes pop up! This is the most unique face wash I have ever used. To be honest I am not to used to such liquid-y, slippery face washes. I feel like that's the only way I can describe it. This was a new experience to me, as I've always used foam or cream cleansers. Scarborough Fair starts at a liquid-y state and lathers and foams up. If only I could insert a picture of my amazed face when I used this, haha. You also only need a tiny bit of it, I put about two drops into my hand and it was too much for my face. Scarborough Fair face wash isn't over drying and leaves you feeling clean and refreshed. SF also smells fantastic. I am a true fan of thyme. If you ask my boyfriend, he will tell you how I put thyme in basically every meal. I love that I can incorporate it in my beauty routine now as well. Heart eyes for this product!
Full size 9 oz for $42, 5 oz for $28, Sample size .250z for $6

Tangerine Skies Facial Oil: This fun orange colored facial oil is for all skin types, and for eczema, rosacea, and inflammatory problems.
Ingredients- virgin cold-press unrefined Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil*†, virgin cold-press unrefined Simmondsia chinensis (golden jojoba) oil*, extra-virgin unrefined organic sustainable (orangutan-safe) Fair Trade Elaeis guineensis (palm) oil (West Africa), Citrus reticulata (tangerine peel) oil*, Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) oil*, Citrus limon (lemon peel) oil*, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract.

This facial oil performs very similar to Green Leaves & Co. for my face. It was very moisturizing and it smells absolutely delicious. My face loves Ava's products. I used this mostly at night because of the citrus in the ingredients. This was a great overnight moisturizer that left me with great results. I also didn't have any pop up blemishes when I used this product!
Full Size 1 0z for $42, Sample size .25 oz for $10.00

Carrot-a-Day Nutritious Eye Serum: This serum was created for acne prone, sensitive skin, spot reducing, and reversing wrinkles. What a multi-purpose product!
Ingredients: Aloe vera barbadensis leaf fillet*, Daucus carota seed oil*, natural non-GMO tocopherol (vit. E), Helichrysum italicum (Italian everlasting) oil*, ECOCERT approved natural preservative {glycerin, Leuconostoc (radish root) ferment filtrate, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, Lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) extract, Populus tremuloides bark extract, glucono-lactone}, Marticaria recutita (German blue chamomile) oil*, carbomer, ascorbic acid (vit. C), Mentha spicata (spearmint) oil*.

I used this at first, and it had felt dehydrating to my face. So, I contacted Ava and she advised me that I should put another balm on top. This worked really well afterwards. I can't exaggerate enough how dry my skin is. So for normal skin textures, I am sure this will work well. I have heard nothing but good things from other people. The scent of the German blue chamomile in this is ethereal. It is very calming, and I put my Nouveau Organica moisturizer on top of it for more moisture, which was one of the best decisions I ever made. If you ever have these two items, I recommend doing the same if you have dry skin. This serum has a cooling clean feeling. Every night that I used this I could see my spots being reduced day after day. I also used this in conjunction with my Acure brightening scrub and the results were phenomenal. I would recommend this to people with more mature skin.

Ava is a true herbal skin healer! She really knows her stuff! Her creations are unbelievably unique and like nothing I have ever tried. She uses high quality products that are amazing for your skin. I wish I had found and tried her products sooner than I did.
