3 Herbs for Beauty

Skin: The antioxidants in rosemary can help stimulate circulation and enliven skin by increasing blood flow and calming inflammation.

Try: Rosemary Lave body cleanser by Epicuren ($11 for 2.5 fl. oz).

Hair: Rosemary stimulates hair follicles, which may help hair grow longer and stronger. It can also cleanse the hair and scalp thanks to its antibacterial properties.

Try: Rosemary Mint shampoo by Aveda ($13.50 for 8.5 fl. oz). Aveda, Palm Beach Gardens (561-691-6999)

Skin: Lavender gets things moving by improving circulation. With more nutrients and oxygen, wrinkles and fine lines may be diminished, while added moisture quenches parched skin.

Try: Lavender Age Corrective Night Concentrate by Éminence Organic Skin Care ($66 for 1.2 oz.).

Skin Apeel Day Spa, Boca Raton (561-852-8081)

Hair: Think of lavender as a masterful multitasker. This hard worker does it all: deep conditions hair, keeps it shiny, and helps control dandruff, all while providing a calming aromatherapy effect.

Try: Lavender and Avocado Intensive Conditioner by John Masters Organics ($22 for 7 fl. oz.).

Ulta, Boca Raton (561-482-9050)

Skin: Peppermint always maintains its cool. The menthol in peppermint oil yields a cooling sensation while the oil itself nourishes dull skin and improves the texture of oily complexions.

Try: Morning Mint Body Butter by Archipelago Botanicals ($19 for 8 oz.).

Hair: Peppermint wins over every hair and scalp type, with greasy types drawn to its astringent properties and those with a dry profile appreciating its moisturizing prowess.

Try: Clear Head Mint Shampoo by Origins ($18 for 8.5 fl. oz.).
