Yes, I do rub plants all over my face. In fact, I do it twice a day. Every morning and every night I rub bog bean, heather, seaweed, ginger, turmeric, holy basil and mushrooms (which aren't really plants, they're fungi) on my face. Why do I do this and who convinced me to do it? Well, I do it because it makes my skin look and feel better than it has in years and the person who convinced me is Dr. Andrew Weil.
Dr. Andrew Weil has a line of natural, plant-based products with Origins. Dr. Weil uses an approach called integrative medicine, which takes into account the whole body, not just the problem area. For instance, I had dry patches on my cheeks. Other products would target the dryness with chemicals and would work. But they would work only temporarily, and at what cost to the rest of my body? Who knows where those chemicals went...into my blood stream??? Dr. Weil uses the perfect combination of plant extracts found in nature to combat my dry skin and redness (the curse of the Irish). I've been using the serum and the face cream for a little more than a month and my skin hasn't been dry since I started. It feels and looks smooth and soft.

I'm very happy to report that not only are these products amazing and natural, but Dr. Weil donates all after tax profits from sales and royalties to The Weil Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting integrative medicine through training, education and research.
