I’ve always had an affinity towards roses. They are my absolute favorite flower in the world, and the mere sight and smell of a rose can instantly brighten my mood. Over the years I have learned and discovered so many different uses for roses and new ways to incorporate them into my daily life. After receiving a huge bag of organic rose buds and petals, I decided it was time to let everyone in on one of my biggest beauty and health secrets.
This coveted flower?s earliest uses for beauty dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans who used rose petals to perfume their baths. They valued roses highly and also decorated the floors of their banquet halls with these delicate petals. In distilled form, roses have been included in cosmetics, medicines and therapeutic treatments for centuries. Rose petals are a staple in Ayurveda medicine to detoxify and calm the mind and body. Many beauty products today are now embracing rose as an ingredient. Rose water, rose distillate, rose essential oil, rose hip seed oil, this beautiful and fragrant flower helps to replenish and beautify the skin, hair, nails and entire body.
