“I believe in making skin look beautiful, not for vanity, but for confidence…”
FOUNDER
I grew up a competitive swimmer, equestrian and all around sun worshipping Southern California girl – I don’t deserve beautiful skin! When I wasn’t in the pool or at the barn I was at the beach – sans sunscreen, frying my skin with baby oil and olive oil.
Next came my unhealthy years working night and day as a hungry, driven attorney since 1993. Working my way up (and wearing myself down) – I looked and felt awful, not taking care of myself – I didn’t have time.  I was dying by fluorescent light.  My lifestyle was toxic to my soul and my skin told the story.

Now, living in Malibu, Ca – amongst beautiful beaches and  mountains, we face year round intense sun, salt water, dryness, harsh winds, heat, sweat – you name it. These are some of the biggest offenders and aging factors to our outer most layer. My skin is in constant need of extreme healing and nourishing.

I would do anything to recapture and repair my skins healthy youth  – and I am willing to pay for it. But finding products that are high quality, clean and did what they said, proved frustrating and eye-opening (let me just say I will never buy a big name brand again!) – so I made my own.

That’s how Karisma – a luxury skincare company made with the highest standards, was born. Masterfully formulated, I make non-toxic, clean products without harsh chemicals. I use ingredients that actually nourish, heal, repair and bring back skin’s youth.

The whole process has been a labor of love and deep commitment”  Karisma Skincare is not just a company it is a personal mission to make sure we all feel beautiful in our own skin.
