Flowers and beauty go hand in hand. Not only can the floral fragrance relax, invigorate, calm and revive your senses (when you look good, you feel good, right?) but these botanicals are filled with skin-loving vitamins, antioxidants and proteins that improve the look and feel of your complexion too. So, I’ve rounded up the eight best floral skincare products that are guaranteed to beautify your skin.

About These Floral Skincare Must-Haves
1. Lavender Soothes And Relaxes
Known for its relaxing and soothing properties, lavender-infused products are undeniably some of the best floral skincare products out there. While you can use them at any time of the day, the unique lavender scent is particularly comforting at bedtime.
So, when you want to get a good night’s sleep, I’d recommend treating your skin with the Dr. Hauschka Moor Lavender Calming Body Oil before slipping under the covers. It not only leaves skin feeling soft and nurtured, but it infuses it with a calming scent that will lull you into a deep slumber.
2. Rose Regenerates Ageing Skin
If you’re looking for the best floral skincare products, keep your eyes peeled for anything that includes rose. Renowned for its ability to regenerate ageing skin, treat dryness and reduce redness, it helps to repair and support your skin.
GLOSSYBOX subscribers will get to experience these benefits first hand this month as our ‘Blossom’ edit includes the Gentle Rose Beautifying Face Exfoliant by Avant. This exfoliator boasts rose extract to soothe redness and irritation, as well as infuse skin with softening, smoothening and healing properties. You can read more about it here.
3. Magnolia Repairs Damaged Skin
While lavender and rose might be more commonly used in aromatherapy, magnolia is up there too. It is packed full of provitamin A, which both protects and heals your skin. It’s particularly effective on sunburnt skin.
I’d recommend trying Leonor Greyl Huile de Magnolia Face and Body Beauty-Enhancing Oil. Infused with magnolia blossom, it soothes skin that has been exposed to the sun and helps to prevent dryness. Expect satin smooth skin that is soft to the touch.
4. Calendula Is Perfect For Sensitive Skin
Naturally antibacterial, calendula helps to treat scars and irritation. It also heals and protects, making it particularly beneficial for sensitive skin.
If you suffer from sensitivity (or if you have a baby at home with very delicate skin), then try Weleda’s Calendula Face Cream. It is formulated with 100% natural ingredients (including organic calendula) that leave skin velvety soft.
5. Jasmine Soothes Dry Skin
We know that bergamot is great for the skin (it is an anti-inflammatory, after all) but the addition of jasmine can really take things to the next level. It helps to treat dry skin by infusing it with natural moisture. Oh, and the aroma can quiet a busy mind.
So why not enjoy a relaxing bath filled with jasmine pure essential oil? The ESPA Bergamot & Jasmine Foam Bath will allow you to indulge in a relaxing soak and leave your skin refreshed.
6. Hibiscus Is A Great Exfoliant
On the hunt for the best floral skincare products that help to revive tired and dull complexions? Look for anything with hibiscus in it. It’s a natural antioxidant that restores radiance.
My favourite? The Chantecaille Hibiscus Smoothing Mask. Enriched with hibiscus flower acids, it exfoliates your skin in ten quick minutes, leaving you with a visibly brighter, clearer and more radiant complexion.
7. Chamomile Calms Inflammation
Those of you who suffer from inflammation need some chamomile in your lives. A really soothing flower, it reduces redness and calms puffiness. Plus, it helps to protect your skin from further irritation by shielding it from free radical damage.
Give the Pai Chamomile & Rosehip Calming Day Cream a go! It has been formulated to quickly calm any flare-ups and keep skin soft, smooth and supple.
8. Lotus Is A Great Skin Conditioner
Celebrated for its ability to calm and soothe dry skin, lotus flower is a great way to keep skin hydrated all day long.
The Ritual of Karma Foaming Shower Gel is enriched with Holy Lotus to leave skin feeling cleansed, hydrated and soft. Better yet, as a symbol of purity, beauty and wisdom, the lotus flower makes you feel calm and centred all day long!
