Prized for its strong scent, lily extract also has antiseptic and antioxidant qualities that can clarify and soothe skin. "It minimizes the pores, moisturizes, and softens," says Min–Wei Christine Lee, M.D., cosmetic dermatologic surgeon and director of The East Bay Laser & Skin Care Center in Walnut Creek, Calif.
