Even if you’re not a skincare buff, you’ve probably seen plenty of rose infused beauty products on store shelves. Rose is one of the leading skincare ingredients because of its diverse uses and benefits. If rose water isn’t part of your self-care routine, it’s time to make some changes. Since rose water is suitable for all skin types, there’s no limit to who can benefit! Here’s how the benefits of rose water can revitalize your skin:

Anti-Aging
While it’s always great to apply products with vitamins topically, consuming them helps nourish your skin from the inside, out. Rose water contains key vitamins that help reduce the signs of aging. Vitamin C boosts collagen production in your skin to help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. Vitamin E reduces free radical damage that can cause your skin to wrinkle and slow cell regeneration.

Skin Protection
Rose water also includes vitamin A which improves the overall health of your skin to help strengthen it against irritants. Building up your skin’s ability to block irritants is crucial, especially if you live in areas with high levels of pollution. Rose water’s vitamin B content also strengthens your skin's immune cells, also known as langerhans cells, which are responsible for protecting and repairing your skin. These cells have been linked to preventing skin cancer.
Reduces Skin Inflammation
Your skin will definitely let you know when it’s unhappy. This usually comes in the form of redness, puffiness and visible irritation. Luckily, rose water is perfect for combating these symptoms. Known for its calming properties, rose water helps ease inflammation in your skin and soothe irritants that lead to breakouts.

Rose water also helps combat skin concerns like eczema and rosacea that also stem from inflammation. Consuming rose water helps ease these symptoms from the inside, so your body is fully absorbing the nutrients.

Antibacterial
Nothing’s worse than your skin turning on you and staging a rebellion in the form of acne breakouts. It can be a major hit to your confidence, but rose water can save the day. Rose water contains bacteria fighting properties that can help prevent bacteria from forming, or fight bacteria once your skin does breakout.

Reduces Skin Issues Caused by Stress
Many of the vitamins and minerals in rose water can be linked to being mood enhancers, including the smell of the rose itself. Sometimes when your skin revolts, it’s not due to what products you are using, but more about your stress and anxiety levels. By adding a mood enhancer to your beauty routine, you can lower your stress levels and raise your skin’s health meter!

Natural Hydrator
If you suffer from dry skin, you know the struggle to treat the tight flakiness is too real. It’s important to understand your skin and what it’s trying to tell you through the symptoms you see. Did you know there’s a difference between your skin being dry and being dehydrated? You might find that what your skin really lacks is proper hydration.

• Dryness: Lack of oil production resulting in the skin being unable to retain moisture and protect itself against harm. Rose products for topical use often help with this problem.
• Dehydration: Lack of water in the skin caused by factors such as diet, weather and the environment. Rose products for consumption can help with this particular problem.

Rose water is a natural hydrator that can aid your skin’s water content by consumption and topical use. By providing your body with the hydration it needs, you’re getting to the root of your skin issues, whether your skin is dry or dehydrated. Be careful about adding rose oil to your drinks at home. Some rose oil products are safe for consumption and some are not. Know what you are drinking before you do!
