I personally love roses. They are nice flowers, smell good and have very strong benefits to us. Rosewater (also known as rosewater) has some magical benefits to us and through this post, I want to share 10 of these with you. I also provide a video as to how you can make your own rose water.
Before I start with rosewater, let me say that a rose can tell a lot about a person.
When someone gives you a bunch of roses, that person is sending you a message.
Red roses mean love, while yellow means friendship. The orange means desire and pink roses means gratitude. Understand that white roses mean purity while lavender is more for enchantment.
When you combine roses, you come up with different messages. For instance, mixing red and white roses means unity. Pink and white means love forever. Orange and yellow send a strong message of passionate thoughts.
Red and yellow simply say jovial happiness.
So the first magic with roses is their color signification. When you know the colors and their meaning, then you can speak to your loved ones, friends, family without saying a word. Just give them a bunch of roses, and it’s like you spoke for hours.

How to use rosewater for improving your skin?
There are a number of ways you can use rose water to finally improve your skin. Here are the most common methods. Use these and you’ll see a real improvement soon.
1. Rosewater as a facial toner
We all know it. The vast majority of toners available in the market will have chemicals and alcohol of some sort.
So if you use these directly on your skin, you’ll end up drying it. To avoid this dry skin syndrome, you better use rose water. This is definitely a better alternative which is natural and reduces dramatically the chemical.
Here is how to use it:
- Get a soft cotton ball.
- Apply some chilled rose water onto the cotton.
- Now apply on your skin slowly and nicely.
- Aim at doing this just after cleansing your face. I usually do this every morning and let it dry.
Using rose water is like using the tonic on your face. It will act as a toner that will naturally tone up your facial skin. This means you will have softer but firmer skin, and therefore close your open pores.
Your skin will love it, and you’ll have a pleasant floral fragrance as a bonus too.
2. Use rosewater as a lip stain
This is something I have been using for years and I advise you to do it as it is so simple. A real natural Do It Yourself home type trick.
- Get a beetroot
- Cut it into small pieces
- Put it to dry out in the sun. This may take some time.
- Now grind it. Make sure to make it to a fine powder.
- Mix a teaspoon of rose water with the beetroot powder.
- The hard work is done. Just apply the mixture evenly on your lips.
- Make sure to wash it off after 15 minutes.
The above mixture will make your lips go nicely soft and a little bit pinker. As beetroot is kinda purple, it will naturally color your lips pink. Who said you need cosmetics?
3. Use rose water as a cleanser
You can use rosewater as a cleanser. It will re-hydrate your skin while cleaning it from the dirt and dead skin. Here is what you should do:

- Mix the lot.
- You can use the mixture as a cleanser.
- Chose a soft cotton ball or other to clean your face. Do not rub too much
- Do this 2 to 3 times a week maximum. Allow the skin to regenerate.

4. Rosewater must be used after-sun body spray
This is something that very few of us know. You can use rose water to treat skin rashes caused by sun exposure and sunburns. Here is what you should do:
- Get 10 to 15 tulsi leaves.
- Crush these into very small pieces.
- Pour 200 ml of rose water the crushed tulsi.
- Now store the liquid in a spray bottle
- Put the spray in the fridge to refrigerate.
If you have sunburn or other rushes, use the watery liquid you made and spray on the affected areas. Note that you’ll get a real cold feeling when applying it. This is normal. But then, you’ll feel relieved and the liquid will definitely calm the skin.
