Au Natural: The Beauty Benefits of Rose Water

From its floral scent to its magical healing properties, Rose Water is every bit of amazing. I believe that every woman should have a bottle of this in her bathroom and should be used daily. Why, you ask??? Keep reading and you'll find out. ;)

Rose Water has antibacterial properties that can aid in healing wounds and scars. So with that being said, you can throw that greasy ointment away.
Its astringent like properties helps to clean pores and tone your skin.
It helps aging skin, keeping wrinkles and fine lines at bay.
It aids in hydrating, revitalizing and moisturizing the skin.
Anytime you plan on going outside in extreme hot weather, I recommend bringing a small spray bottle with rose water to keep you cool. Be sure to refrigerate it first!
After a hot shower, you should spritz rose water on your face to tighten capillaries, which will reduce redness in your face.
It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help get rid of acne and excess dirt and oil in clogged pores.
It helps maintain the skin's pH balance.
It prevents and cures dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
The anitoxidant properties helps regenerate the skin tissue and strengthen the skin cells.
It's floral aroma is a natural mood enhancer and is said to rid you of anxiety and promotes emotional well being. :) Add a few splashes of rose water to your bath and reeelaaaaax.
Out of that expensive makeup setter? Rose water is the best makeup setting spray ever! AND IT'S NATURAL!
Pour a cup of rose water in your hair as a final rinse after shampooing as a deep conditioner. Ohhh, look at that shine! Everyone's going to want to know what your secret is. ;)

Please be sure to do a skin patch test to make sure that you're not allergic to rose water. If you can't find rose water at your local health food stores, I purchased mine here. Otherwise, you can boil a dozen roses in distilled or purified water to make your own batch. MAKE SURE THE ROSES WERE NOT SPRAYED WITH PESTICIDES. If you're not sure, rinse the petals well. I hope this post helped those of you out there who are tired of spending money on commercial products filled with unhealthy chemicals. If you missed the last post, I highly recommend reading it. ;)
