Karen’s Botanicals 1-2-3 Guide to Natural and Organic Facial Care
A wholistic approach to facial care is based on a three-step process, of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. You can select products depending on your skin type, seasonal and climatic changes, and daily or personal cycles. Some people use a particular set of 123 products all of the time. Other people find that their skin changes and therefore mix and match sets to suit their needs. You may choose the set of products that is best for you. You will save 10% if you buy a set instead of individual items. To view our Facial Care Action and Price Comparison Chart, click here.

Why use a toner?
While you may naturally use cleansers and moisturizers for facial care, you may not ever have used a toner. I grew up using one because my mother always did. Toners have astringent properties, which means that they contract skin tissue and check secretions. Most toners contain some type of alcohol which deep-cleans pores by breaking down oils and residue.

Our toners are really special. First, they are very low in alcohol so they are much less harsh than others. Secondly, they are made by infusing loads of fresh, organic herbs and flower blossoms in a combination of witch hazel and distilled water. So, Karen’s Botanicals toners are full of vitamins, minerals, and other nourishing compounds that, in addition to deep cleaning, are beneficial to your skin.

What about our scents?
All of the scents in our products come from the natural scent of the plants and botanical ingredients (such as essential oils) that we use. They are chosen for their therapeutic value more so than for their scent. So, instead of having a line of cleansers, toners and creams all with the same scent, the scent of our products is based on the essential oils which are most beneficial to skin care.
