How to make scented rose water at home:

Making rose water is really quick and easy because you will only need:

• 1 cup of rose petals
• 2 cups of distilled water (about 500 ml)

First of all, we advise you to provide yourself with rose petals chosen from the gallica rose, the canina rose or the Damask rose, which are more effective in cosmetics and to always use flowers on which herbicides, pesticides and insecticides were not used

Next, wash these petals with cold water to remove all the dirt and immerse them in a pot of distilled water.

Then bring everything to a boil, always making sure to cover the pot when the mixture starts to boil so as not to let the steam escape, and leave the pot on the heat for a further 15 minutes keeping the flame low.

At this point, turn off the heat, let the mixture sit in the saucepan for another hour to intensify the scent, then strain everything and transfer it to a glass bottle. And there you have it: your rose water is ready to use!

As an alternative to the above method, however, you can also put all the rose petals directly into suitable cloths or bags and then immerse them in a container with cold demineralized water.

Finally, close the container and let the rose petals macerate overnight. The next day, filter the liquid and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Once you have learned how to prepare rose water at home, let’s see together how to use it on our skin!

First of all, we advise you to remove your makeup and clean your face with a neutral soap.

Next, dip makeup remover pads in rose water and wipe them over your face as a refreshing toner.

As rose water contains vitamins A, B, C and E, it is

considered a blessing in natural cosmetics because it not only has toning and antioxidant actions

excellent for achieving an anti-aging effect on the skin, but it can also be used on dry, sensitive and acne-prone skin.

The soothing, purifying and disinfecting power is capable of fighting

against acne and pimples, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.

In case of dark circles, you can also apply the discs

makeup removers soaked in rose water directly on your eyelids to depuff dark circles and relieve eye fatigue.

Other uses

Rose water is not only effective on the skin but also on

hair, as it seems to be able to prevent hair loss,
reduce excess sebum and accelerate their growth, thanks to the stimulating properties of vitamins A, C, K and E.

In this case you can apply it to the hair and leave it on for half an hour before shampooing.

In addition, it is able to alleviate certain pains, such as headaches or menstrual pain,

by applying a poultice of rose water to the painful areas for about an hour.

Finally, you can use a few drops of this water in the bath
to relieve tension and alleviate states of anxiety and fear.

Contraindications

Particularly sensitive subjects should be careful because rose water may contain potentially allergenic compounds, which are
therefore poorly tolerated, and cause unexpected allergic reactions.

So make sure the toner is suitable for your skin.
