Rosewater

Lately I’ve been used rose water to tone and calm my skin and to get rid of frizzy hair. This is a natural alternative to hair sprays and toners.

What it does:
increases blood flow in skin/scalp, promoting hair growth, strengthening of roots and calming of redness in skin (helps treat broken capillaries)
it is the best anti frizzer! surprisingly i’ve found it holds down my hair and keeps my hair moisturized)
it is ph balanced helps regulate oily skin and increase moister levels in dry skin. it can be used to treat acne blemishes and scars. can be used to prevent fine lines.

I’ve found this to be great for my acne/rosacea prone skin, it is really gentle, has no alcohol or harsh ingredients in it! This has helped make my skin glow and has made my hair feel soft and healthy.

I simply poored some rose water i bought into a little spray bottle and use it as a mist/toner on my face and use it as a spray for my hair.

You should try it and tell me how it has worked for you.

    I am using Natio gentle toner with rosewater and camomile and its pretty gentle with a very slight pleasant fragrance. I know that you can use rosewater in cooking, but I havent tried it in my hair. thanks for the interesting tips Molly697 : )

    Hello,
    There are some more benefits of rosewater. which will be helpful to our skin.
    1. Since rose oil has anti-inflammatory properties, using rose water can help in reducing the redness from irritated or over-heated skin.

    1. It is a great cleanser and aids in removing oil and dirt accumulated in clogged pores. Thus preventing acne and pimples.

    2. It has astringent like properties, which is why it is used after facials and clean ups to close open pores. Applying rose water after steaming tightens capillaries, reduces redness and blotchiness.

    3. The aroma of roses is said to be a powerful mood enhancer. It rids you of feelings of anxiety and promotes emotional wellbeing, thereby making you look relaxed. Since it is de-stressing, it helps you sleep better which means you will wake up feeling fresh.

    4. The best and easiest way to use it is to apply it at night. It helps clear all impurities that your face has collected through the day.

    I’m still using it and finding it so great!
    Its really soothing my excema! I apply my moisturizer morning and night to my legs and arms, and then leave it to absorbed for 10 minutes and then I sprtiz the rose water on the area i moisterized! Its really helped keep my skin hydrate and calm.
    My oily skin has been less oily too!

    The hair trick is great just be careful not to apply too much as it will weigh

    your hair down and make it appear wet/oily.

    I use M.A http://www.marinas-ambrosia.com/products/skincare
    Rose Spritz it is very strong and I spray it in my eyes for dry eyes, in my mouth for when I have nausea and heartburn (fantastic when I was pregnant the last time!) and it also helps when I am itching and burning when I have thrush. After a shower I dry and spray and it really really helps.

    Thanks for the info on rosewater! I’ve only used my Kosmea rosewater for setting makeup, I never realised that I could be putting it on my hair to combat frizz!
