16 BENEFITS OF ROSEWATER

Rosewater is so good for you.  I mean it is totally magical for your skin.  It's really good for your body not just your skin.  I had no clue just how awesome it was for you until I did research yesterday after coming back from my mom's house with 2-gallon ziplock bags packed full of petals.

I came home from my mom's and made my rosewater.  I could hardly wait to call my mom and tell her today.  When I finally was able to call her she told me about a lady she use to work with that used rosewater and glycerin on her skin every day.  I told her I had used it this morning and loved the way my skin felt.  I do not have the words to explain just how awesome my skin feels.  I have really dry skin on my forehead but normal about everywhere else and by using this all of my skin finally feels the same.

I understand why my skin feels so good.  It is because rosewater helps balance the pH in your skin so it is excellent for people with eczema, psoriasis or just dry skin but it is good for any skin types.  It does not matter if you have oily or combination skin.  It works.  I just put some on a cotton ball and applied it to my face.  I did not use my normal moisturizer and my skin feels so good. 

A lot of Indian households keep rosewater on hand.  The usage of it goes back to ancient times and Cleopatra used it as part of her beauty regimen.  WOW imagine the woman so many associates beauty with knew the miracle of rosewater.
