Whether it’s in a blooming bouquet or in an intricate wall of flowers, there is no doubt that the rose is the ultimate symbol of beauty. But there is one place you may not think to look for the pink hued romantic flower and that is in your beauty cabinet in the form of rose water.
Rose water – made from the distillation of rose petals – has been used as a beauty elixir for thousands of years with its use dating as far back as early Egypt by none other than Cleopatra – and how can we argue with one the most legendary beauty queens?
In addition to its gorgeous fragrance, Rose water is also known for its hydrating and skin soothing abilities. Full of skin loving vitamins and antioxidants, rose water acts as a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial.
This is good news for us as it means that rose water is perfect for all skin types and conditions (yes, even the most sensitive) to treat a range of skin concerns such as rosacea, parched dehydrated skin and fine lines and wrinkles. With this many benefits it’s no wonder that this multi-tasking powerhouse ingredient is being used in so many of our skincare products.
