Rose is a classic symbol of love and its unmistakable fragrance fills the air with romance, but roses also have a full bouquet of benefits for the skin. “The sugars and natural oils found in rose petals trap moisture in your skin, making your skin look smoother and softer—just like the beautiful rose petals themselves,” write Deepak Chopra, MD, and Kimberly Snyder, Certified Nutritionist, in Radical Beauty: How to Transform Yourself from the Inside Out. If you’ve ever felt the silky smooth softness of a rose petal, you can feel the promise this delicate flower has for our skin! Essential has lovely formulations using the power of rose to its fullest or you can try your hand at making some of your own rose recipes at home!
