Cleansing
The cleansing properties of rose water help to remove oil and dirt that has accumulated in clogged pores. Rosewater is a natural astringent, which means it is a powerful facial toner that draws out the excess oil that causes breakouts and tightens pores, making it ideal for oily skin. The best and simplest way to use rose water is to apply it at night to remove any impurities that have accumulated on the face during the day.

Rose Water for Acne
Rosewater may reduce the appearance of acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties that will reduce redness in the affected areas. Antimicrobial properties can help prevent acne by keeping bacteria on the surface of the skin under control. As rose water is an astringent, it may prevent problems like blackheads, whiteheads and pimples by drawing oil and bacteria out of clogged pores.

Rose Water for Anti-Aging
Rose water’s antioxidant properties help to strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissues, making it an essential component of any anti-ageing skincare regimen. Free radicals are produced when people are exposed to harmful UV radiation, pollution, harsh chemicals in skincare products, or stress.

Rose petals are high in antioxidants, which protect skin from damage such as fine lines and wrinkles caused by UV rays and pollution.
