For a time-honoured skin saviour, Neal's Yard Remedies says look no further than the rose garden.
Known for its holistic approach to health and beauty, the British brand suggests a rose-based beauty regime to combat the effects of air pollution.
Firstly, the delicate scent has aromatherapeutic qualities, while ingredients derived from the Queen of Flowers help soothe and strengthen the skin.
Nourishing essential oils and extracts are obtained from Rosa Damascena or the Damask Rose, which is grown in southern Turkey and Iran, and Rosa centifolia or the Hundred-Petalled Rose, which is grown on Mount Lebanon.
Antioxidant-rich rosehip oil is pressed from the seeds of Rosa canina, a weedy perennial shrub also called Dog Rose, which has long been used for medicinal properties and beauty benefits.
Neal's Yard Remedies created the Wild Rose collection to help promote a radiant complexion and the Rehydrating Rose formulas for dehydrated skin.
The brand's night-time skincare routine, designed to combat the effects of pollution encountered during the day, involves three products applied after cleansing.
Rehydrating Rose Toner with damask rose essential oil removes impurities and primes the skin to better absorb serum and moisturiser.
Serving as a replenishing serum, Wild Rose Beauty Elixir contains rosehip oil, turmeric root extract, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, while organic geranium and patchouli essential oils offer a calming effect.
Rosa centifolia extract as well as Damask Rose and rosehip oils are featured in Rose & Almond Night Cream, which helps restore the skin's natural balance during sleep.
