Rose water is a natural product that results from the distillation of rose petals. It is a popular ingredient in toners, masks, and moisturising facial mists. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it has a soothing effect on the skin.

It contains B vitamins, and vitamins A, E, and C, geraniol, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, and nerol. It is a source of antioxidants and exhibits anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties. It has anti-ageing effects, which is why it is especially recommended for women over 50.

Benefits for mature skin

Rose water can be used by people with various skin types. It helps maintain the skin's hydrolipid balance and improves its appearance and elasticity. Its gentle moisturising properties make the face appear more radiant and regain its former glow.

Regular use of products based on rose water provides relief from skin inflammation and acne. Furthermore, it refreshes, improves skin tone, and prepares the skin for further care. It's a versatile cosmetic perfect for women who want to take care of their beauty naturally.

The benefits of using rose water in daily skincare are immense. However, many women most value its help in combating the first signs of skin ageing and reducing fine wrinkles. Fans of this cosmetic assure that applying it regularly to the face and hair shows results after just a few uses.

Ways to use rose water in skincare

Rose water can be used as a toner, which perfectly refreshes the skin after cleansing with, for example, micellar water. Simply spray it on your face to feel immediate relief and refreshment. It can also be used as a compress for tired eyes – put a cotton pad soaked with the product on your eyelids and leave it for a few minutes. Some women take it a step further and use rose water in hair care. Strands become shiny and incredibly smooth.

Another popular use of rose water is adding it to your favourite cream or serum. This way, you enrich your skincare products with additional moisturising and soothing properties. You can also use rose water as a component of homemade masks. How to do it?

Mix 2 tablespoons of plain yoghurt with 2 tablespoons of rose water and a bit of honey. Apply the mixture to your face once or twice a week. After about 20 minutes, rinse it off with lukewarm water, and your skin will become smoother than ever. Rose water nourishes and tones, honey additionally moisturises and acts as an anti-inflammatory, and yoghurt stimulates the epidermis to regenerate.
