Since ancient times, roses have been prized for their beauty and associated with love. We adore the flowers, of course (long-stemmed, please!), and also what they do for beauty products. Check out the following items, which all pull inspiration from this classic flower.
Sundari Rose and Lavender Hydrating Mask, $36, www.sundari.com Sundari means "a beautiful woman" in Sanskrit, and the company's wonderful products help achieve just that. This hydrating mask nourishes and soothes, making your skin look smooth and even.
ME! Bath Ice Cream in Valley of the Roses, $8, www.mebath.com Drop this fizzy bath ball into your tub for a totally relaxing soak. Valley of the Roses has rose petals, malva and larkspur, but you can choose from a huge variety of luxurious flavors. Yum!
Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Rose Pure-Castille Soap, $4, www.drbronner.com This eco-friendly company makes organic body products that work well, don't cost a lot and are quirky and fun, too. We adore their rose-scented soap, which also has coconut, olive oil and hemp oil for added moisture.
The Healing Garden Passion Rose Body Mist, $6.75, select Wal-Mart stores There's something so delightful about spritzing yourself with a light, airy scent after you've gotten out of the bath. The rose, gardenia and orange flower fragrance linger on your skin — subtly — all day.
Lush Powder Puff Deodorant Powder, $7.25, www.lush.com Mmm, not only does this powder have our beloved rose, but it has orris, a precious perfume from the root of the Florentine iris. You'll feel a little decadent sprinkling this on, but why not? You deserve it!
