Pangea Organics – Facial Toner – ★★★
Description: Hydrating facial toner that removes dirt and oil while balancing skin.
Loved it. I feel like it’s something I wouldn’t normally buy just because of how expensive their product line is. But the toner was refreshing and clarifying without stripping my skin or leaving it really red. I’ve used it for travel thanks to the nice size.

Description: An organic sugar scrub with natural humectants to soothe and nurture dry skin.
A luxurious sugar scrub that exfoliates your skin and moisturizes it at the same time thanks to the natural oils. The sugar gets a little hard so be sure to use it in a timely manner.
