While Valentine’s Day has come and gone and spring is still weeks away, we could also use a little floral pick me up! One of the most popular flowers – the rose – not only smells amazing but also contains numerous beneficial ingredients for the skin. For instance, rosewater has anti-bacterial properties and can help relieve redness and inflammation, while rosehip oil protects skin from damage, provides anti-aging benefits and promotes skin regeneration.
Below are six of our favorite rose inspired skincare products to treat dry winter skin:
Kari Gran Hydrating Tonic, $35
A new staple in my skin care regimen, Kari Gran’s Hydrating Tonic is refreshing and has light rose scent. Unlike most toners, this product contains no alcohol so it will not strip the skin of natural oils and dry it out. Mist on anytime for a pick-me-up when your skin is feeling dry or use to set your mineral makeup.
