Rose water is flavored water prepared by soaking rose petals in water. Rose water comes with great benefits when it comes to skincare. It is suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive skin. Rose water has been a popular beauty ingredient since ancient times and is often found in beauty products for its rejuvenating, soothing and calming properties. It also has antiseptic properties and is often used to impart glow to the skin. Here are some ways you can incorporate rose water in your beauty regimen to get glowing skin.

Rose Water as Skin Toner

We are often told to follow a cleansing, toning and moisturizing skincare regimen in order to keep the skin healthy and radiant. Toning is usually ignored but it is a significant step in skincare as toner removes oils, dirt and debris from the skin that  the cleanser has missed. Hence toner aids in cleansing the skin thoroughly while maintaining its delicate pH balance.

Pure rose water is gentle in nature and helps in maintaining the skin’s pH balance. It also possesses astringent properties which helps clean the pores of oil and grime toning the skin further. Regular use of rose water will keep the skin free of extra oil and help prevent problems like blackheads, whiteheads, acne and pimple. Using rose water as toner is better than using chemical based toners which might dry out the skin.

Rose water has soothing properties and can be used as an all-natural skin toner. Apply rose water on your face and allow it to settle in your pores. Your face will feel fresh and the lingering rose aroma will uplift your mood.

Rose Water To reduce under-eye puffiness

Under eye puffiness can be caused due to many reasons like allergies, stress, eye fatigue and lack of sleep. The puffiness or swelling actually means that the person has an accumulation of fluids under the eye area. As the skin around the eyes tends to be quite thin, the swelling and discoloration is prominently visible. The easiest way to combat under eye puffiness is giving it a cold compress or spray.

Rose water helps to hydrate, revitalise and moisturise the skin giving it a refreshed look. Also it has anti-inflammatory property which reduces redness in the skin. The gentle rose water can be used on the sensitive under-eye area without any worry. Puffy eyes will immediately perk up and look rejuvenated with a spray of rose water.

If your eyes are tired or puffy from lack of sleep, rose water offers a simple solution. Take a chill bottle of rose water (place the fridge for a while). Soak cotton pads in it and gently place on your eyelids. Keep on for as long as you want while enjoying the soothing feeling around your eyes. It will help reduce puffiness and give relief to tired eyes instantly.
