I would add to your natural skin care garden the following plants which are used in a variety of recipes and have some wonderful attributes when making your own skin care products:
Lavender
Cucumber
Calendula
St. John's Wort
Geranium
Echinacea
Pansy
Nasturtium
You can even dry lavender and use it throughout the winter in facial steam recipes or add it to your favorite facial mask.

Growing Natural Skin Care Ingredients by: Skye
I'm planning out my garden for the summer and would like to know what would be the best plants for growing natural skin care ingredients so I can start making my own skin care treatments?
I plan on planting some rose bushes along with a variety of perennial flowers like lavender. I also am planning on a vegetable garden as well and am thinking of rosemary, thyme and mint.
What would be other plants to include so I have a lot of variety for skin care recipes? I would like to be able to either dry or freeze the flowers/leaves to use throughout the winter.
