Rose petals alone are not only beautiful and fragrant, but were used by Ancient Greeks and Romans to perfume baths. The Egyptian queen Cleopatra was known for her love of rose petals, as not only were they sprinkled onto the floors of her banquet halls, but she included them in her bathing and beauty rituals as well. Mix ½ cup of rose petals with a handful of mint and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This bath helps remove excess oil and prevent blemishes. (If you find lemon juice irritating, as some people do, you can substitute it with white vinegar).
