Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins has another product out to go along with the Plantidote system – the Mega Mushroom Face Cleanser. I really do love the Plantidote system and highly recommend you give it a try if you haven’t yet. Here is what Origins has to say about it:

The products are formulated with Cinnamon, Geranium Oil, Lavender …read more
