Skincare DIY: Rose Water

Hello Angels,

Past few weeks have been pretty tiring and I couldn't find time to blog. But now I'm back with a DIY skincare that revolves about ROSES.

Roses in every colour are loved by everyone. But did you know that Roses also impart health benefits too. Yup, my dear, since ancient times rose water and oil have been part of probably every Grandma's beauty secrets. Here is a quick guide to it's benefits:

1) Rose oil has anti-inflammatory properties and hence rose water has been used to treat irritated & over-heated skin.

2) It is a gentle but a great cleanser and removes oil & dirt thoroughly from clogged pores.

3) It also acts as an astringent. Applying rose water after steaming tightens capillaries, reduces redness and blotchiness.

4) Roses are a powerful mood enhancer. So say goodbye to the feelings of anxiety and promote emotional wellbeing. A great stress buster!

And today, I have a very easy 2-in-1 DIY using the beautiful red roses. So let's get started with the preparation of fresh Rose water.

ROSE WATER:

1. Take Roses and separate the individual petals. Wash the petals thoroughly
2. Place them in a pan filled with water. Make sure all the petals are properly immersed in water.
3. Cover the pan with a lid and boil on low flame till the water is of the colour of petals.
4. Remove from heat and leave it to cool down. 
5. Strain the coloured water and refrigerate it. 
6. Keep the strained petals separate to make rose petals lip scrub.

Use the cold rose water to quickly freshen your face. Spray or rub it on your face before going to sleep and get rid of impurities like oil or dirt overnight. You won't need night creams anymore ;-)

Or add it to your facial masks to get that instant glow afterwards.
