Pure contains the highest the concentration of essential oils of all the toners, giving it a better effect on inflammation and infections (essential oils have strong antibacterial properties). In a more diluted form, like in Lotion PS (the lowest concentration of essential oils of the three products), essential oils are more soothing for sensitivities yet still have the beneficial properties of stimulating circulation, helping with cellular respiration.
Emulsion Pure is an excellent spot treatment when used as a compress on a specific blemish. It can also be used over your entire face as an extra-strength toner. This concentrate of thyme, lavender, cypress, geranium, and rosemary essential oils starts the healing process by helping to calm infections and reduce inflammation.

Directions for use:
To use Pure as a compress:
- Take a piece of cotton 2-3x the size of the spot (in other words: use a small piece)
- Soak in PURE
- Compress (press) onto the blemish
- Keep it there at least 5 minutes, no more than 15 minutes
You can compress while watching TV, reading, or talking on the phone; whenever you have 5 minutes to sit still and give the compress the time needed to do its magic.
To use Pure as a toner:
- After cleansing
- *Splash PURE over face and neck or
- Use **cotton soaked in PURE and go over face and neck
- Then apply your moisturizer
- You can also mix PURE into your cremes
*I’m not a fan of using the cotton method. Why not? First you waste a lot of product as it soaks into the cotton. Also, you simply don’t get much or enough product on your skin. For best results, use the splashing method (**pour Pure into your palm, rub hands together, then apply to face and neck.)
