Roses are not just beautiful to look at or lovely to stop and smell, but they also have a ton of wonderful health and beauty benefits, and using rose water is a great way to take advantage of them.
Rose water is made through an age old, Middle Eastern, steam distillation process of rose petals. It is a refreshing, tightening and hydrating facial toner that doubles as an alternative to chemically based perfumes, with its rich fragrance of Rosa Demascena. Historically, it has been used in beauty products as it balances the pH, and has anti-aging qualities that aid in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It has also been used in food and drink, for both its delicious flavor and health benefits.
As if that wasn’t enough to get you smelling the roses, there is way more:
- Rose water has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it great for soothing irritated skin, improving complexion, and reducing redness and puffiness, as well as aiding in the temporary relief of eczema and rosacea.
- Rose water has antibacterial, antiseptic, and astringent properties that can help to reduce acne, clean wounds, prevent and treat infections, as well as help speed up the healing process of cuts, burns and even scars.
- Rose water has anti-aging qualities that aid in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, balance the pH, and contains a number of powerful antioxidants which provide protection from free radicals that cause cell damage.
- Rose water has strong antidepressant and antianxiety properties from breathing in the vapor and aroma of rose water. This helps to enhance the mood, relax and settle the nervous system, and so has been known to be beneficial for relieving headaches as well as overall stress in the system.
- Rose water has also been used to make teas for soothing sore throats, improving overall hydration, as well as aiding in digestion and reducing digestive upset.
Amazing, huh? So, whether you decide to use rose water as a facial cleanser or toner after washing your face, to sip a cup of tea or add it to a recipe, or to simply refresh, rehydrate, relax, and smell like roses, definitely don’t miss out on the remarkable qualities of adding rose water to your daily routine.
Don’t just stop and smell the roses, but you are one spray away from leaving a trail of fragrant rose petals behind you, bringing their goodness with you everywhere you go.
I personally love rose water so much. So, I can joyfully say, Cure Natural Skin Care’s Organic Rose Water, is something to be excited about! It is by far the most fragrantly delicious rose water on the market, and because things can always get better, they do…our rose water has been made extra special with the added benefits of all of the minerals from the Dead Sea Salts.
What is there not to love? I know you will enjoy it as much as I do!
