Beauty: Rose-Inspired Beauty Buys For Summer
Monday, June 03, 2013
June, the traditional month of brides also heralds in the flower that plays a part in all the precious moments that life has to offer – the beautiful rose. Lucky for us, Rhode Island's wild Rosa Rugosa begins its lovely proliferation at the edge of wood and sea, adorning our state with effortless June prettiness. It's no coincidence that in early summer, we want to look pretty with little effort too, and one way to do it is to be inspired by the rose.
Rose petals have been the ingredients in beauty products for centuries, but unlike our earlier sisters, we don't have to mash our own blossoms to reap the benefits and can easily find products that contain roses' essential elements or at least simulate them.
