WHAT IS ROSE WATER MADE OF?
Rose water is a liquid made by steeping rose petals in water. For commercial purposes, rose water is obtained through distillation. This means that rose petals are simmered with water and the resulting steam is captured via condensation. Rose water is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals.
WHAT ARE THE SKIN BENEFITS OF ROSE WATER?
Rose water contains many antioxidants that protect the skin cells against damage. It also acts as an inhibitor against elastase and collagenase, which are both harmful to the skin. These qualities of rose water help soothe the skin and reduce redness, as well as fight aging.
Rose water is used in a lot of beauty products because it plumps the skin and improves the appearance of wrinkles. This is due to its hydrating and moisturizing properties. The powerful beauty agent also tightens the skin making it look firmer and more radiant.
Containing antibacterial, antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory agents, this ideal product also heals and soothes your skin, maintains the skin’s pH balance and tightens pores.
HOW CAN I USE ROSE WATER ON MY FACE?
Rose water can be best described as a toner, so you will want to use it after your cleanser while your skin is still damp. To apply rose water use a cotton pad and dab it all over your face. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off with cool water.
Rose water is extremely versatile and doesn’t necessarily need to be used as a toner. It can be misted on the face overnight, sprayed onto freshly cleansed skin in the morning, or applied throughout the day for a boost of hydration.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER WAYS TO USE ROSE WATER IN MY BEAUTY ROUTINE?
Refresh Your Makeup:
It’s a good idea to keep a small spray bottle of rose water in your purse so you have it on-the-go. A few spritzes can be used to prep your skin before you put on makeup and can also be used to freshen up your makeup after a long day. Rose water can easily replace a priming spray or refreshing mist.
Refresh Your Hair:
You can make a luxurious hair rinse by adding two tablespoons of rose water to a cup of water. Pour the mixture on your hair after shampooing and conditioning. Your hair will feel like you just did a deep conditioning treatment.
Hydrate Your Entire Body:
After you get out of the shower spritz a rose water spray all over your body. Afterwards immediately seal it in with your favorite body lotion while your skin is still damp and say good bye to flaky dry skin!
Boost Your Sheet Mask:
Take a cotton pad and apply rose water to your face after cleansing, then lay your serum-soaked sheet mask on top. The rose water amplifies your sheet mask’s hydrating benefits and the sheet mask brings the rose water deeper into your skin.
