Imagine an idyllic garden: Beautiful flowers and plants that attract colourful butterflies and birds; relaxing time spent in the sunshine delving your hands into fragrant soil; the taste of fruits fresh off the vine. A garden is a feast for the eyes, palate and the soul, but did you know that what you grow in your garden can also keep your skin gorgeous and youthful?
And these plants are not necessarily the exotic kind; they are as prosaic as simple herbs and vegetables:
Elderflower: Because it has antioxidant elements, oil made out of this bushy plant helps to slow down the aging process. Plus it can be used to sooth rashes and treat scars.
Roses: Not only are roses flowers all visitors to your garden will admire, its petals can be used to make rose water to soothe irritated skin, moisturize and repair it, so it’s a great way to prep skin for moisturizer after cleansing. Simply spritz or splash your face with rose water.
