I am a Filipino person in diaspora and have come to know about the healing and spiritual properties of guava leaf through Herbalaria. I've been wanting to learn more and get closer to Filipino culture, and thought incorporating this skin oil, which is made with guava leaf, could be a simple, yet intimate (in that I'd be directly applying it to my skin) way to do this. I've mentioned in previous reviews that Herbalaria's products have helped my skin recover from using a product whose formula no longer worked for me. I've only noticed improvement since using the Bayabas Skin Elixir. My skin retains its moisture/smoothness for longer periods of time. The oil isn't sticky and absorbs quite well, and the scented oil smells so lovely! So glad I decided to go with a subscription for this!
