Rosewater Toner: What It Is and The Many Skin Benefits of Using One

It seems that more and more people are turning to natural products when it comes to their daily skincare regimen. One of the more popular natural products that people are turning to is the rosewater facial toner. This toner is made by distilling Damask rose petals with steam. Although this toner started gaining popularity in the past couple of years, people have actually benefited from it for centuries.


What is a Facial Toner? 

Ideally applied after your facial cleanser, the main purpose of a toner is to provide an extra cleansing step by removing any dirt or dead skin cells that the cleanser may leave behind. Although some people tend to think a toner isn’t needed, they may not realize that their cleanser rarely gets rid of all daily dirt and dead skin cells on their face and neck.


A facial toner also makes your skin smoother and prepares your face for other products that you will apply, like serums, beauty oils and moisturizers. Toners are also known to minimize blackheads and to hydrate the skin. However, most toners that are available on the market today contain a high concentration of alcohol or other harsh chemical based ingredients. As such, if you have dry and sensitive skin, these toners can cause further irritation and skin to become even more dry. These are some of the main reasons why people are avoiding these harsh ingredients and turning to natural products like our 100% Natural Rose Facial Toning Mist which contains rose water, aloe to soothe and hyaluronic acid to plump and moisturize skin. Here are 4 other reasons why this toner makes a great addition to your skincare routine;

 

1. It Hydrates the Skin 

One of the reasons why people use rosewater is because it helps to hydrate the skin. Because it has antibacterial and antioxidant properties, it can enhance your skin's barrier, as well as minimize percutaneous water loss. The result of this is that the sebaceous glands do not produce additional oil in order to make up for skin that is too dry.

 

2. It Treats Particular Skin Ailments 

Rosewater is known to treat various skin conditions as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties. If you have rosacea, a skin ailment which is characterized by red bumps, redness and noticeable blood vessels, rose water can help to reduce the irritation and redness that this condition causes. It is also a good treatment for conditions such as eczema, dry and flaky skin, acne, and psoriasis. Rose water is also ideal for people who have very sensitive skin.


3. It’s Perfect For Every Skin Type- Even Sensitive Ones!

Our formula is made from quality natural ingredients, and is pH balanced which ensures it’s gentle and won’t strip skin’s natural moisture barrier. 


4. Use It Whenever, Wherever

AM, PM and every time in between- this product is great for cleansing and adding moisture when you wake up, prep for bed or when your skin needs a refresh while on the go. 


If you’ve tried toners in the past that haven’t worked for your skin, or you’re just starting to learn about toners- we think you’ll love the many skin benefits of a rosewater toner and we're confident our 100% Natural Rose Facial Toning Mist will be the perfect for you.

Do You Need to Put Skincare in the Fridge?

 

It’s summer and the temperatures are getting real hot.

You’re probably wondering...will my skincare products go bad in this heat?

Well, first things first: read what the packaging says.



If the skincare product needs to be placed in the fridge, the label will identify clear storage instructions, which you should follow. Although some skincare products require refrigeration, most skincare products aren’t perishable like food, and don’t need to be placed in the fridge.


If the product doesn’t require refrigeration, then placing it in the fridge is unnecessary and does not make the product more effective. We carefully formulated and performed stability testing on all of our products to ensure that they can be kept at room temperature.


However, some skincare products might feel nicer to apply on your face when they’re cold (especially in the summer). Placing some skincare items like serums, beauty oils, lotions, moisturizers/eye creams, reusable face masks, eye masks, or facial rollers in the fridge can also help with some swelling ー and simply feel super refreshing on the skin.


So, if you’re debating whether or not you should place your skincare products in the fridge, it really depends on the product itself and your personal preferences!
