Petal Pushers

Flowers of any kind have an uncanny ability to lift my spirits. I can't help but smile when I get a whiff of fragrant blooms. These sweet petals hold much greater beauty power within and when incorporated in spa treatments. While there is no denying that aromatherapy offers its own form of stress relief, many spas and brands are digging deeper to put these flowers' less publicized attributes to work. Here's a few more products that rely on fragrant flowers for beauty benefits that are worthy noting:

  • Amarte Aqua Veil Pure Hydration Serum: Infused with early purple orchid, English ivy, lily, and mallow, this lightweight serum optimizes the skin's ability to absorb and retain moisture. www.amarteskincare.com
