Introducing Botanical Facial Cleansers

Hydrates and conditions face as it cleanses • Leaves skin feeling soft, clean, smooth
Maintains skin’s normal pH balance • Prepares skin for the next treatment step

Cecilia, Brand Manager for A Natural Perspective states, “These facial beauty products combines rich plant carrier oils to lift the dirt and soften skin, natural antioxidants, proteins, vitamins, and essential oils to help provide vital nutrients and increase blood circulation to dull, dry skin.

These botanical facial cleansers help to infuse your skin with a complete spectrum of nutrients. With the benefit of without chemical and petroleum products that are in conventional facial cleansers.

Cecilia continues, “These are mild products that do not destroy the skins natural PH, and more importantly replace important nutrients to the skin. Today’s consumer is savvy; especially women who insist on facial cleansers that not only clean but make their face look healthier and younger.

A Natural Perspective offers two specific face cleansers that lift dirt, grime and water-based make-up. Both cleansers offer specific properties for specific needs. For example the Rose Milk Facial Cleanser helps to combat the ravages of every-day living, and at the same time promote a softer, wrinkle-free and younger-looking skin. The rose formula is reputed to be a natural cell regenerator and aids in improving the health of the skin.

The unique formulation of the Chamomile Facial Cleanser helps to calm inflammation, sooth the skin, and also prevent any skin problems from starting because it will not disturb the pH of the face. It offers an essential oil blend of chamomile to nourish the skin along with French lavender and rosemary essential oils for its natural anti-bacterial, anti-viral and healing properties.
