    by Editor May 12, 2023

    In recent times, rosewater and its patronage have gained significant traction in the beauty industry. While many herald its numerous benefits, others seem to cast aspersions on its authenticity.

    What exactly is rose water and does it even work? In this blog post, we cut through the hype and settle all concerns about rosewater.

    As the name denotes, rose water is simply rose and water. It is believed to have originated from Iran and its process chiefly includes distilling rose petals with steam. The use of rose water dates back to some thousand years ago, especially in the Middle Ages when people traditionally used it for medicinal, culinary, and dermatological purposes.

    Today, rosewater has become a staple ingredient for several beauty products due to its endless benefits. Here are a few you need to know.

    Contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that protect the skin.

    Anthocyanin, polyphenols, and flavonoids all of which have antioxidant properties and are present in rose water help protect the skin from damage. Also, its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritations from skin conditions like eczema and rosacea. 

    Why Scented Candles Have Become a Trend

    Reduces skin redness and under-eye puffiness

    The anti-inflammatory property of rose water aids in reducing redness. Also, applying gentle rose water can relieve eye fatigue, lack of sleep, fluid retention, and allergies that cause bags under the eye.

    Anti-aging Properties

    A regular regime of applying rose water is sure to give you that young and fresh look. It aids in restoring moisture to dry skin. Again, the antioxidants can help reduce wrinkles and age spots.

    For Makeup Prep and Makeup Removal

    Rose water and makeup go hand in hand in more ways than one. It can be used to prep your skin for makeup. In addition, you can use rose water as a setting spray to prevent your makeup from fading or smudging. After a long day, your bottle of rose water can also be used as a makeup remover.

    Pro tip: using the right make-up remover that feels gentle on your skin and prevents breakouts is important to reduce susceptibility to breakouts and skin dullness. And you can trust rose water to be a great makeup remover choice.

    Generally, rose water has a lot of benefits for your skin. Research shows that it is suitable for sensitive skin. However, it’s advisable to seek guidance from a dermatologist or beauty specialist on the type of rose water you should go in for when purchasing.
