Here are some tips on how to do it!<\/p>\n<p>Be sure that the petals are fresh and not wilted or dried out. These types of petals won&#8217;t have a lot of &#8220;sugar&#8221; content in them, which is what will slough off dead skin cells from your face. The best time to get roses for this purpose is when they&#8217;re in season, during Springtime, right after the rainy season has passed and the flowers have been open for about a week or two. If you wait too long, their sugars will start breaking down into acids and other compounds that will irritate your skin instead of soothing like regular sugar.<\/p>\n<p>There are many benefits to using rose petals for exfoliating the skin. First, it is a natural option, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about harsh chemicals or additives. They are also inexpensive and last a long time when stored properly in the fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever heard of the saying &#8220;love makes you beautiful&#8221;?
