Roses are not exclusively associated with Valentine's Day,
so why wait until February? Treat yourself to a bouquet of the nation's most
beloved flowers, and when you're done admiring their splendor, you can enhance
your own attractiveness by preparing complexion-enhancing rose water.
Rose water, known for its skin-loving effects, is a natural
astringent that helps to tone the skin, lowers redness and inflammation, and is
quite easy to produce.
What you’ll need:
·
6 organic roses with their stems removed,
·
Distilled water,
·
Organic witch hazel,
·
Rose essential oil, and
·
A glass spray bottle
Five Ways to Use Rose Water for Skin Beauty
- After cleansing, use the hydrating facial mist as a toner by applying it to the skin with a cotton ball.
- Reduce eye puffiness by chilling water in the refrigerator for half an hour, then soaking two cotton pads in the liquid and applying them on the eyes for ten minutes.
- Add two cups of rose water to your bath water for a relaxing, skin-softening, and fragrant soak.
- Create your own rose water hand cream by combining two parts of rose water with one part of glycerin and keeping in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- After shaving, apply rose water to your legs with cotton wool to reap its soothing benefits.
TIP: Keep one bottle of rose water in the bathroom and the
other in the kitchen; rose
water is an exquisitely fragrant addition to pastries and cakes.
