Rosewater is anti-inflammatory, as well as antibacterial, making it a great addition to your skincare routine. Typically, you'll find rosewater in sprays, though you can also find small bottles without spray nozzles if that's your preference.[1] Try using rosewater in the morning after you wash your face for a way to awaken your skin or spritz or dab it on during the day to refresh your skin and calm irritation.
[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Adding Rosewater to Your Morning Routine
- Clean your face with a gentle cleanser. You don't want to strip your skin of its natural oils, so use a moisturizing cleanser that's forgiving on your skin. Wet your face with warm water, then apply your cleanser with soft circular motions using your clean fingertips. Rinse the cleanser off thoroughly.[2]
- You may not even need to wash your face in the morning if you cleansed it thoroughly the night before.[3]
- Hold the spray about from your face. You don't want to be too close, as that won't give you an even covering. Instead, hold the spray out from your face a little bit so that you can easily spritz all of your skin with a few sprays.
- Mist your whole face with the spray. Close your eyes, and then press the nozzle on the spray a few times, moving it around your face as you do. Try to get your whole face evenly with the spray until it feels slightly damp with the rosewater.[4]
- Let the rosewater dry on your face and move on with your day! Add makeup after you use rosewater, not before.
[Edit]Using Rosewater throughout the Day
- Spritz your face with rose water to refresh yourself later in the day. Anytime you're feeling hot or run-down, spray your face down again with rosewater. It will reawaken your skin and leave you feeling renewed, as well as adding a light, fresh scent to your face.[5]
- Keep a small, travel-sized bottle on you to use throughout the day.
- Apply rosewater when your skin is red or inflamed. Rosewater is great for irritation because it is anti-inflammatory. It helps with both acne and rosacea. If your skin is looking irritated, try using your spray more often to help calm down that irritation.[6]
- If you prefer, you don't have to use a spray. Get a bottle of rosewater and dab a little on a cotton pad, then pat it all over your face.
- Dab rosewater on at the end of the day to gently remove makeup. Apply a light misting over your face or dab rosewater on with a cotton pad. Let it sit for a minute or 2, then use a cotton pad with rosewater on it to wipe the makeup off. This process will leave your skin feeling clean while keeping it hydrated.[7]
- You can also look for facial wipes with rosewater in them.
- Use rosewater as a toner after you wash your face. Even if you don't want to remove your makeup with rosewater, you can still use it as part of your routine at the end of the day. Wash your face with your normal cleanser, then dab your face with rosewater.[8]
- Rosewater will help remove the last of the oils and debris from your pores and calm your skin before bed.
- Make a calming and hydrating facial mask with rosewater. Mix equal parts of chickpea flour, turmeric, and sandalwood powder in a bowl. Add just enough rosewater to the mixture to make a thick paste and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse it off.[9]
- You can mix the turmeric, chickpea flour, and sandalwood up and put in a small jar. Take out just what you need for 1 mask at a time and mix it with the rosewater to create your mask.
- Make this into an astringent by replacing half of the rosewater with apple cider vinegar.
