Why Imperial Peony Belongs in Your Skin-Routine Routine (and Where to Find It)

Peonies chanel spring — plain and simple. But, is the flower more than something that is just pretty to look at? Turns out, peonies don’t just brighten up the season — they can give new life to your skin, too, at any time of year. Below, we delve deep into the beauty benefits of the imperial peony flower.

Imperial Peony Skin Benefits

As your skin gets older, it can start to look a little less radiant than preferred. In part, this is due to environmental aggressors, UV exposure and desquamation, which is basically a big, fancy word that indicates your skin’s cell turnover rate is slowing down. Imperial peony works to infuse your skin with a rosy tint reminiscent of a youthful glow. The ingredient also has antioxidants to help protect against free radicals and soothing properties.
