It’s great to hear that so many of you prefer organic in your lives on a daily basis.  Congratulations to Nikki B. who shared “Whenever there is an option for an organic version I always opt for that! Food, skincare. I even have organic cotton sheets! It’s just a much healthier way of living” and won her very own Primavera Cooling Eye Roll-On.

Primavera’s Revitalizing Serum is just the kind of protection skin needs to keep it looking and feeling healthy and radiant. While some serums leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy, this satin gel formula leaves skin silky smooth. Full of antioxidants, Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil and Silver Tip White Tea help protect skin from the environmental and free-radical damage. Other key  ingredients like Organic Licorice Extract and Organic Rose Water work synergistically calm, soothe, tone and balance sensitive skin while restoring its suppleness. Two to three drops is all you need each morning and evening and you’ll be on your way to experiencing a brighter, more even skin tone.

The real star of Primavera’s  Revitalizing Face Care line is none other than Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil. Now we have all heard what a miracle fruit the Pomegranate is, but what exactly are it’s benefits? In addition to being loaded with antioxidants, Pomegranates can help lower the risk of heart disease, reduce cholesterol and control your weight.  They are also one of the few fruits whose juice is just as beneficial as its edible fruit and seeds. That’s because that beautiful crimson-red peel, (which you can’t eat) contains most of the fruit’s antioxidants. They are released in abundance when the fruit is squeezed for juicing, and the inspiration Chef Bill Wavrin’s Effervescent Pomegranate and Ginger Elixir. We suggest it as prelude for a Primavera facial, to experience the benefits of the beautiful pomegranate and your own natural beauty, outside and in.
