The rose is considered the queen of flowers – and not only looks good in the vase. After all, rose water is considered a versatile beauty elixir for skin and hair. How the condensate works and how to use it correctly? We explain it and show how you can benefit from the power of plants.
What actually is rose water?
High-quality rose water is obtained exclusively from hand-picked organically grown Damask roses and centifolia and is a by-product of rose oil production. In fact, the liquid is just the condensed water vapor that occurs during production.
But this also contains valuable vitamins and antioxidants as well as the unmistakably fragrant, essential vegetable oil. For this reason, rose water has been used for centuries. In the Arab world, it is valued for its aroma. Here, rose water is used for baking and also for savory dishes. But the liquid can give much more than taste.
How to use rose water for every skin type
Since pure rose water has a pH-neutralizing effect and contains neither alcohol, acids nor fats, it is suitable for all skin types. The following applies here: The effect of the liquid unfolds best if you use rose water in your daily facial care. Apply with a cotton pad and use as a tonic, or spray onto the face as a nourishing face mist. And speaking of pads: If you like it sustainable, you can sew make-up removal pads yourself. We tell you how to do it.
Rose water has a positive effect on every skin type:
- Do you have oily, impure skin? Rose water is non-comedogenic, antibacterial, and mattifies your complexion. This is how pimples disappear quickly.
- Do you have dry skin? Rose water moisturizes.
- Is your skin mature and showing the first wrinkles? The antioxidants in the beauty elixir help against fine lines and give a plump, radiant complexion.
- Is your skin balanced? Rose water provides the tissue with a fresh kick and gives it a beautiful glow.
How to use rose water to care for your hair
Dull, brittle hair comes to life with rose water and gets a silky shimmer. To do this, simply spray the product lengthways. Do you suffer from a dry scalp? Massage a few drops of rose water into your hairline to nourish the tissue and soothe itching.
Tip: Not only can you make face masks yourself, but you can also make rose water yourself. In this process, however, you will usually lose many of the active ingredients in the liquid at home. So your skin benefits most from a finished, high-quality organic product.
