Collective Wellbeing Skincare

I’ve just discovered a little gem of a skincare line called: Collective Wellbeing. Next time you are in Whole Foods and can’t decide which organic and natural skincare brand to choose from, think Collective Wellbeing! Their products smell nice and are gentle enough for any skin type.

In addition,  a portion of the proceeds of each Collective product you purchase is set aside in a pool of funds from all purchases. Twice a year, a group of non-profits is chosen to receive what’s raised. PRetty good right?

Here is a list of Collective Wellbeing skincare products I’ve tried and love:

Collective Wellbeing Honey Buff: A base of pure, certified organic honey is infused with a blend of lemon peel powder and rose hips seeds to provide gentle exfoliation. Echinacea helps keep pores clean and clear so that skin remains radiant. SRP: $13.

Collective Wellbeing Hot Pore Cleansing Scrub (Active Charcoal):

ReVersital 3-in-1 MicrodermaStick

ReVersital:The Next Generation in Microdermabrasion. Great at any age, ReVersital 3-in-1 MicrodermaStick, is a multi-function anti-aging product that challenges traditional approaches to skincare by exfoliating, hydrating, brightening and firming all with one simple dial-up stick.

Created by Margaux Levy, founder of Freeze 24/7, ReVersital provides visible anti-aging benefits by improving the totality of skin’s appearance, from wrinkles and age spots to overall luminosity. The product combines a total of three skin care treatments-cleansing, microdermabrasion and hydration-in a portable, hands-free stick.

“I was overwhelmed by the thousands of skincare products on the market and their redundancy,” says Levy. “Most people don’t want to buy five different and often expensive products to attack various skincare and anti-aging concerns. With ReVersital’s triple action system you can achieve the glow you desire without major fuss. The marriage of this groundbreaking formulation with a convenient application system represents a needed breakthrough for consumers of all ages.”

Currently available online at www.Reversital.net  and at select specialty retail stores throughout the U.S., this much talked about “glow on the go” patent pending formula:
