Winter is finally over! It’s time to celebrate by incorporating some of nature’s new bounty into your treatments. Here are 7 garden-fresh ingredients to work into your spring menu.

1. Strawberries

You can incorporate strawberries into your treatments (think masks and moisturizers), or your food menu (strawberry mini-tarts, anyone?).

6. Rosebuds

Roses aren’t quite in bloom yet in spring, but you can still incorporate rosebuds into your treatments (or even your treatment room décor).
