In the world of spas and skincare, aromatic flowers have been prized for their healing and rejuvenating properties. Keep reading to learn more about the beautiful, aromatic flowers you’re likely to encounter on your next trip to the spa.

Orchids

The orchid is a very fragrant flower that comes from a diverse family of over 22,000 species. It thrives in diverse environments from cloud forests all the way to the Arctic Circle. In terms of skincare, orchids are known for their regenerative and protective benefits as well as moisture-retention. 

Jasmine 

This flower has incredible anti-aging properties and naturally contains a high level of antioxidants. In addition, jasmine is known for its ability to detoxify, soften, and moisturize the skin. As if that isn’t enough, it also has the ability to fade hyperpigmentation and scars.

Ylang Ylang

Historically, ylang ylang has been associated with romance due to its sweet, delicate scent. That being said, the flower has long been a staple in perfumeries. With similar properties to jasmine, the flower is also known as a skin balancer that reduces inflammation and controls acne. When applied topically, ylang ylang can also help reduce stress.

Frangipani

Highly regarded in skincare for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, frangipani is one of the most well-known flowers in spa care. It has the ability to calm and detoxify oily and blemish-prone skin. As a fragrant tropical flower, frangipani truly provides the feeling of an exotic island retreat.


Lotus

From even ancient times, the lotus flower has been a symbol of purity and beauty. Full of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals the lotus flower nourishes, smoothes and purifies the skin. A massage using lotus oil truly provides a harmonizing experience that delights the senses.
