The Unique Way Pro-Aging, Face Yoga & Clean Beauty w/ Kara Reich, Founder of MeTime Botanicals
Kara Reich is the founder of Me Time Botanicals, a clean, high-performance skincare line born out of her personal journey of healing and self-care. After navigating an abusive relationship and battling hormonal acne from stress and burnout, Kara discovered the power of natural skincare rituals in transforming both her skin and her spirit. Her passion led her to study organic cosmetic science and launch Me Time Botanicals—a simplified, affordable skincare line rooted in plant-based ingredients, science, and self-love. Today, Kara empowers women to pause, prioritize their well-being, and glow from the inside out.
