~~Homemade Rosewater~~ You will need Pink roses (Different colored roses will give different effects) Then you will need to Wash them thoroughly in water and tear off their petals. Place them in a pot and add water to completely immerse them. Now put this to boil on very low heat. It should reduce to half and the petals will completely turn white. All the color will be in the water. Cool and strain and fill it in a clean bottle. Remember to always store this in the fridge. It lasts for months on end safely. There can be some residue formation in it which is alright but incase it turns really dark, sort of black in color, time to throw it away. )o( ~Some of the Benefits of Home Made Rose Water~ Rosewater has multiple benefits. It is one of my favorite skincare ingredients. Chilled rosewater feels like heaven for oily skin in summers. Here are some benefits you can derive from it: Rosewater is a natural toner and cleanser. Take a little of it on a piece of cotton and use it to wipe your face for a natural astringent to open pores. It is a natural antiseptic that helps soothe acne and skin irritations and helps you get rid of blackheads. If you have dry skin troubling you, add a little glycerine to rosewater and use it as a natural moisturizer. Rosewater has a soothing effect on our nerves, relieves stress and works as an anti-depressant. It is a boon for aging skin and helps to keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. A face pack of rosewater and sandalwood powder mixed together totally soothes and refreshes skin. Place pads of cotton dipped in rosewater to cool down tired or puffy eyes. Add rosewater to your bath water and use it as a final rinse for soft and silky hair. It helps to heal scars and wounds and cure insect bites. Spraying chilled rosewater can help to soothe sunburned skin. ~~Rosewater Recipe when used as a Staining Lip Pack: In this type of product, you will have to cut beetroot into tiny pieces, dry it in the sun and powder it. Now mix a teaspoon of rose water to this beetroot powder and make your staining lip pack. Wash it off after 15 minutes to achieve an instant soft pink color stain on the lips. )o(Selenyx Sunray High Priestess
