THE USE OF ROSE WATER IN BEAUTY CARE
Effects of rose water on skin appearance and health
The noble and glorious Queen of the Garden, the rose, is now in its last peak of bloom just before going into hibernation. The intoxicating fragrance of the rose petals, the fabulous beauty and variety of the flowers are almost breathtaking. It is no coincidence that these flowers have always had a special place in the courtyards of the nobility and royalty.
Centuries ago, the delicate and subtle scent of roses inspired the creation of a unique beauty product - rosewater. And although it was originally used to show royalty, people soon realised the health benefits of rose water.
It is no coincidence that the proverb - everything new is old forgotten - proves itself once again. For all things of value are, at their core, simple. Rosewater continues to be one of the most powerful natural beauty phenomena in the world.
Rosewater has antiseptic and antibacterial properties - it not only helps heal wounds, but also reduces and even cures skin infections. This skin care product is excellent for smoothing uneven skin tone, reducing redness, irritation and preventing excessive oiliness. Rosewater is also renowned as an excellent product for moisturising and soothing the skin.
As you can see, there is no doubt - rosewater should be on every beauty shelf.
Making rose water at home
If your garden is currently filled with a field of blooming roses, find inspiration for a little experiment - make your own rose water! Yes, the shelves are full of rose waters from different producers. But the pride of creating your own skincare product, combined with the satisfaction of putting garden produce to good use, will surely give you double the joy!
Step by step how to make your own rose water:
1. Fill a saucepan with fresh rose petals and cover them with distilled water. Note - it is important that the water just slightly covers the rose petals, otherwise the concentration of the roses will be thin.
2. Cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the water and rose petals to the boil over a low heat.
3. When the water starts to bubble, remove the solution from the heat and allow the water to cool to room temperature.
4. Scald the cooled rose water and pour it into a clean bottle.
Just 4 simple steps and you'll have made your very own rose water that will restore, hydrate and nourish your skin. Not only will you be sure of the composition of your skincare product, but you'll also save money.
Instead of grabbing the loose petals and throwing them away, do a little experiment in the kitchen. Your skin will thank you.
