Rose Water as a Facial Toner

How to Use:

The use of rose water as a toner helps in removing any leftover dirt or makeup, plus it tightens pores as well.

I like to keep Vriksha Veda Rose Hydrosol with me, especially during hot or dry weather. The reason why I do this is that it's the perfect way to instantly refresh skin and give it a boost of hydration.
How to Use:
- Simply spray it on face, whenever I feel dry or dehydrated
- Let it dry
This method is super easy and fast; it always feels like a mini spa treatment. It's also great for setting makeup!
Rose Water + Aloe Vera Gel for Soothing Skin
If you're dealing with irritated or sunburned skin, then in that case, rose water combined with aloe vera gel works like a charm. We all know that Aloe vera is quite popular for its healing properties, and rose water adds a calming touch.
How to Use:
- You have to take aloe vera gel and rose water.
- Then, apply the mixture to your face.

You should go with this process as this mask feels so soothing, and it's perfect after a long day in the sun or when your skin needs a little extra treatment, love, and care.
Rose Water + Orange Peel Powder Face Mask
See, using rose water in face masks is a great way to combine its benefits with other natural ingredients. One of my favourite masks is a simple mix of rose water and orange peel powder, which helps brighten the skin.
How to Use:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of orange peel powder with the rose water.
- Then, apply the paste evenly to your face.
- You have to let it dry for around 25 minutes.
- Finally, rinse it off with cool water.
This is an amazing mask because it leaves my skin feeling soft, bright, and refreshed. I try to use it once a week for a little self-care session.
Rose Water + Honey for a Hydrating Mask
Honey itself is a natural helper in moisturizing the skin, and when you mix it with rose water, extra hydration can be achieved. The mask is a perfect thing for dehydrated and dry skin.
How to Use:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of rose water with honey.
- Apply the paste to your face.
- Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Finally, rinse it off with warm water and pat dry.
After using this mask, I noticed that my skin felt incredibly soft and moisturized. I love doing this once a week, and I usually do it when my skin dries out.
Rose Water as a Nighttime Moisturizer
If you're looking for a light, refreshing toner for nighttime, then rose water is a perfect fit. I like to use it as part of my night skincare routine to help balance the hydration level of my skin and to refresh my skin while I sleep.
How to Use:
- When I clean my face at night, I put some rose water on it.
- Once it gets absorbed, I apply a light layer of almond or jojoba oil.
This method can help in locking the moisture & keeps my skin hydrated all night long.
DIY Rose Water + Rose Petal Powder Hydration Mask
For an extra hydrating treatment, I sometimes make a mask using rose hydrosol a.k.a pure rose water and rose petal powder. Trust me, this not only hydrates my skin but also revitalizes my skin.
How to Use:
