Secret Beauty Weapon : Rose Water

Rosewater does not only belong to the kitchen. I consider this as one of my essential beauty product. I mostly use it as a toner, after removing my makeup. Sometimes, I also apply it in the morning to freshen up my skin and remove excess oils if I don’t want to use a cleanser. 
It is natural, cheap and more efficient than any other high-end toner I have used. The fact that it is natural is also a great thing for sensitive skin, since most toner contain alcohol or just way too many unpronounceable ingredients.

Rosewater is also a multi-purpose product with many benefits that suits all skin types:

• Astringent & Antibacterial properties: use it as toner to remove excess oils and dirt in order to prevent clogged pores and pimples. This is a very gentle solution for sensitive oily and acne-prone skin
  
• Anti-inflammatory: Again, you can use rosewater as a toner for dry and irritated skin. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it can calm your skin and reduce redness. 
  If you feel some kind of skin rash after shaving or waxing, you can also spray some rose water to calm down the irritation. 

• Reduce puffiness: dip cotton in rosewater and apply it to your eyes in the morining
  
• Mood enhancer: add one cup of rose water to your bath to freshen your skin and mind. The aroma of rose water is said to be relaxing and get rid of anxiety.

If you want to add rose water to your routine, I recommend that you check the ingredients and get pure rose water with no added component.
