Is skincare your new obsession? Well, you are not alone, this quarantine has dragged many of us into it, which is actually a good thing. Taking care of the skin should be your priority and not just be a ‘quarantine thing.’ Understandably, quarantine gives you ample time to pay attention to the skin, especially in summers, but hey! It’s your skin we are talking about here, it deserves some time out of your life, right? You know, if you do it right, you don’t even need much time. Summer season can be a harsh time for your skin. Along with popsicles and healthy tan, it can also bring along problems like skin irritation and rashes. Since you cannot detain yourself the whole season, you have to figure out other ways to keep your skin up to the mark like using flowers for skincare.
Can the flower power save you from summer skin issues? Absolutely yes! Nowadays, nowadays Looking out for natural ingredients before buying skin care products is something that most people are guilty of. So, why not use the natural ingredients in the purest form instead of going for a processed one. If you have a look at some well-renowned brands, they claim to contain flower extracts that will benefit your skin. So, I suggest you try and use raw flowers wherever possible.

If you want to know how flowers can be incorporated in your summer skincare, keep reading.
Face wash
The first step of the skin care regime is the face wash. You need to wash your face thoroughly with a good cleanser. Though there are so many bottled ones available out there, try an all-natural face wash made with flowers, and see how it can do wonders to your skin. You can easily prepare face washes at home using flowers like chamomile (for dry skin), moringa( for dead skin), lavender (for all skiing types).
Toner
Then comes the toning. After cleansing the face, apply a timer to lock in the essential moisture. Rosewater is known as the best toner for any skin type. So, this time instead of buying a readymade version of rose water, prepare some at home because it’s really easy to make, and you get the purest form of the product. Pluck some fresh roses from your backyard, and you’re good to go.
Face mist
Want to keep skin glowing and refreshed during the sweltering summer heat? Well, face mists are used to instantly charge up your face skin when feeling low. So, instead of spending your hard-earned money on expensive face mists, make your mist in your favorite fragrance. Choose flowers like lavender and marigold that carry strong scents. Keep it refrigerated for a cooling effect in every use.
Massage oil
Feeling really stressed? Well, you know flowers do have therapeutic properties and help you relax your muscles if hurting. All you need to do is blend in flowers like carnations in some oil that you can massage in your skin. Say bye-bye to sore muscles.
Lotion
Remember we prepared rose water at home? Using that same product with essential oils can make a really good lotion for your skin.
Body soap
Prepare bath soaps at home by using a soap base and your favorite flower like rose, chamomile, lavender, etc. If you are suffering from skin conditions like itchiness and eczema, then dandelion is the ideal flower your soaps should be containing. Similarly, there are different flowers that treat different skin conditions, choose the right one, and include them in your bath.
Face packs
Face pack or should I say flower pack. To remove the summer tan and have a glowing skin instantly, make a face pack loaded with the goodness of the fresh flowers like rose, hibiscus, and marigold.
Hair mask
Along with your skin, your hair, too, needs some extra attention in this harsh weather. So when you are doing all these skincare DIY’s, don’t forget to include some hair masks as well. Hibiscus is the best flower to use in your hair care. It can control hair fall as well as dandruff problems.
That’s all with the skincare tips with flower power. I hope they come handy to level up your skincare game.
