Our Favourite Rosewater

As we've mentioned before we LOVE floral waters. They are great for hydrating and toning the skin, and they smell amazing. They can also be used over make-up. Our two favourites are Rose water and Orange Blossom water (which we'll post on next week!)

Traditionally, Ayurveda recommends using rosewater as a toner. It firms and hydrates the skin, is suitable for all skin types and regular use can clean and tighten the pores. It also has antispetic and antibacterial properties which can allegedly help to prevent acne, pimples, and wrinkles. It's also naturally soothing and astringent which makes it perfect for treating sunburns and stressed skin.

Rosewaters astringent qualities helps to reduce inflammation and stops sweating. It can be used for hot flashes and prickly heat with great effect.

Our favourite Rose water is Pukka Organic, available from feel unique for £10.75 (+p&p)

The fab thing about this Rosewater is that it is also edible, so feel free to use it with water for a refreshing drink or even throw a little in when cooking! Otherwise spray liberally over the skin!
