The latest buzzword in beauty and skincare is “cherry blossom.” These pretty little pale pink blossoms can work wonders on your skin, as they are extremely high in antioxidants, which help to repair damaged skin and smooth out the complexion by protecting the skin’s natural barrier. They can help reverse the effects of harmful sun damage and can brighten your overall skin tone, too. With cherry blossom season blooming in parts of Canada now, try some of these cherry blossom beauty products and see what all the flowery fuss is about. —Jennifer Cox
Innisfree’s Dewy Glow Moisturizer with Cherry Blossom & Niacinamide ($32, sold through Sephora Canada) is a clear water-jelly cream that delivers a burst of hydration for visibly brighter, glowing, and dewy skin. It gets its superpowers from Jeju cherry blossom leaf extract to brighten skin for a clear and vibrant complexion.
The Body Shop’s Glowing Cherry Blossom Fragrance Mist ($18) is a vegan and cruelty-free mist that contains a delightful blend of Japanese cherry blossoms, osmanthus, and sandalwood. It’s the quintessential flowery spring scent. It’s available in stores and online in April.
Lips want to get in on all that cherry blossom deliciousness, so treat them to Petalips Lipstick from PUPA Milano ($25).
