No matter what you've got scheduled for Valentine's Day — be it a hot date with your S.O. or a full-fledged Netflix binge — good skin probably factors into your plan. That's why we're turning to the most romantic flower (on arguably the most romantic day of the year) for some assistance. It just so happens that rose has legit dermatologic properties, so you can treat your skin and celebrate the holiday all in one. When used in skin care, rose is said to be soothing, as it contains "anti-inflammatory and antiseptic healing properties," says Ava Shamban, a Beverly Hills-based dermatologist.
With all those beauty benefits in mind, we've compiled a list of 14 rose-infused skin-care products (i.e. Herbivore's Insta-friendly body scrub, Fresh's toner made with real rose petals, and a super-saturated sheet mask that smells like a bouquet IRL) to swipe, slather, and indulge in before you head out (or stay in) for the night. So go ahead, show your skin some love — and maybe buy yourself a box of chocolates.
