Yeah all us ladies adore getting roses we know that, but what about a more unique rose gift? You wanna see what I mean? Ok here we go:
A rose in a garden is much like Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf – Queen Bee, society diva, and breathtaking beautiful (with a thorn, or two…or three.) What’s not to love? Its beloved petals are rumored to be making therapeutic skin care remedies as far back as 10th Century Persia. Rose essential oils work wonders for dry, sensitive skin with its toning properties and also has a way in subduing redness. And that distinct, enticing fragrance is known to console shaky nerves and even take form of a mild-sedative. Here are a few products that have us tickled pink!
In testing out makeup for another story, I had to wash my face at least three or four times in one afternoon. Luckily, NUXE Cleansing Milk with 3 Roses has made a home near my bathroom sink. Even after this excessive washing, my skin felt supple, soft and anything but dry – not a trait all cleansers possess. The secret lies in the rose trio: Black Rose contains tannins, which give it astringent and toning properties, White Rose helps with soothing and detoxification, and Red Rose softens and enhances the cleansing milk’s aroma. Now, that’s team work!

With a plethora of tutti-frutti body washes lining drug store shelves, bar soap is often forgotten. This is why we want to aim some spot light on One With Nature Rose Petal Soap.

This aromatic bar is perfect for folks with dry and sensitive skin. Plus, you’ll be scoring some green points too. One With Nature uses 100% vegetable base, biodegrade wrap and is void of artificial colors and fragrance. You won’t look at bar soap the same way again.

Just like a bouquet of dozen roses, Caroline Chu Gentle Facial Cleanser will leave you beaming and aglow. Armed with rose, cucumber, papaya and willow extracts, this mild formula is a must. Rose extract, in particular, is said to slow down the breakdown of collagen and elastin, without which we are inviting wrinkles. But don’t worry, Caroline Chu will keep you looking youthful.

Speaking of youth, why don’t you also try the Duchess Marden Damascena Rose Anti Wrinkle Serum? Think of it as liquid gold in your bathroom cabinet, three modest drops deliver moisture to wrinkle prone areas like, cheekbones, across the brow and the area around your lips and eyes. Although the serum is slippery, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that instead of an oily film, you’re left with a radiant glow – like a royal.
