DIY: Create Your Own Rose Water & Oil


Rose Water is a great all natural way to protect and add radiance to the skin. Rosewater reduces redness and removes oil and dirt from the skin, which makes it great for acne prone skin. It's also an astringent so it's perfect to use after a facial to close up the pores.
With its powerful mood enhancing properties rosewater can help relieve anxiety and promotes emotional well being.


What You Need:
  • A handful of fresh pesticide free rose pedals.
  • About a cup of distilled water
  • A pot.
  • Strainer


Put rose petals in a pot and pour distilled water over the water just enough to fully cover the petals. Too much can cause the rise properties to be diluted. Turn stove frame on low and cover pots with a lid and let it simmer. Make sure it's not boiling. Allow petals to simmer until petals lose all their color. You'll notice that there will be a oil floating on the surface. Stain the water and collect in a container and store in the fridge til cool.
