A BORING old bunch of red roses isn't a very imaginative gift to give your loved one tomorrow.

Instead drop a few hints or treat yourself to some rose-infused beauty favourites on Valentine's Day.

Splash out on the quintessential Valentine's fragrance, Marni Rose, £68 from www.harrods.com

A complex blend of Bulgarian rose, mint nanah, raspberry and cardamom, it smells absolutely wonderful.

The Kiehl's Patchouli and Fresh Rose EDT, £26, is made with rose petals picked early in the morning in the Grasse region of France to preserve their freshness.

Blended with sustainably harvested patchouli from Brazil, it is a robust floral fragrance.

Spritz on Red Roses by Jo Malone London, £29, is the very essence of modern romance.

A blend of seven of the world's most exquisite roses, with crushed violet leaves and a hint of lemon, it unfolds like a bouquet of freshly cut flowers.

Use the Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Rose Face Mask, £36, a couple of times a week to give skin a floral boost.

Deeply hydrating, it takes just 10 minutes to pack vital moisture back into the face and leave you looking fabulous.

There are no artificial additives or essential oils in Dermafood's organic Bulgarian Rose Water, £6.99 from www.dermafood. co.uk, just 100% steam distilled hydrosol. Use it to remove make- up or as a toner to perk up dull and tired skin.

Melvita Rose Extraordinary Water Rose, £12.40, is designed to be used after cleansing and pre-moisturising and is enriched with hyaluronic acid to give an extra boost of moisture to skin without being greasy.

Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream, £10 from Debenhams, is an emollient blend of antioxidant rich, protective Arctic cloudberry, soothing camellia and kukui nut oil.

Ultra soothing and skin quenching, it is perfect for dry, delicate hands.

A balancing mist with anti-oxidant properties to restore and hydrate the skin, Jurlique's Rosewater Balancing Mist, £21.50, leaves the skin balanced and refreshed.

Close you eyes and gently mist the face after cleansing or throughout the day.

Their Rose Hand Cream, £17, the hero product of the range, is a rich protective treatment infused with rose, marshmallow and viola to deeply moisturise and restore smoothness.

Developed to provide deep nourishment to skin, Weleda's Wild Rose Facial Oil Capsules, £18.95, uses the finest, organic rose petals, sourced from a fair trade partner in Turkey.

The light but intensive, high quality elixir, invigorates tired, dry or dull complexions and uses the sought-after damask roses for its natural ability to restore radiance, support skin renewal and increase skin elasticity.

For a touch of rose colour, try Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Toxic, £15.50, a warm coral nude with a long-lasting matt finish. Finish off with Lipstick in Plunge, £16.50, a bright mauve pink in this season's creamy matt finish.
