We all know that parsley is a powerful mouth freshener, but it also makes a mild and gentle toner for the skin. Use this freshener throughout the day to keep your complexion clean and radiant. Parsley is easy to find in any grocery store or farmer’s market. It’s also a snap to grow in your garden or in a container. Parsley especially loves to be planted next to roses. It is believed when planted at the base of your rose bush, it makes the flowers smell sweeter.
