So if the term “I’ll lick your face” doesn’t mean much to you… it will in a moment. Meet Karen Van Dyck (middle) a highly trained perfumer and specialist in body and face creams, skin products, and much more! Her company Nature’s First Beauty Bar opened up this past year inside Ingredients on Wharf Street. “Why,” you wonder, “would she open it up inside a grocery store?” Firstly, Ingredients isn’t a normal grocery store, they are a speciality “boutique style” food wonderland! Everything is not only organic but make of pure foods – such as their hair care, vitamins – and they offer a huge selection world foods! So Karen chose this venue because her entire product line is natural, organic and food based – meaning “You can eat your face!” literally.
I was experiencing very challenging skin after stopping all dairy, yeah – no acne – but Uh-ho – it was winter and dry skin was something I had never experienced. Karen literally saved my face!
Karen customizes her products to each person and has wide variety of scrubs, cleansers (unbelievable, one rinse) and more!
Her knowledge is like nothing I’ve ever seen and connections to sources around the world. She is truly amazing.
I spent time there with my good friend Carolyne Taylor (left) and needless to say it was love at first scent!
Experience Karen’s products for yourself and reserve a free facial for a Sunday afternoon or stop in and ask her questions and try a few out – you will be glad you did!
