Rose signifies beauty and youth. Let's make rose water at home in its purest form to get glowing skin.
Benefits of rose water
Rose water can be used in a variety of ways for skincare. It can unclog pores, keep your skin moisturised and reduce dark spots.
Distilled rose water
Some people make rose water by boiling the leaves in water. However, this method is incorrect. Distilled rose water captures the essence of roses.
Organic rose
It is important to use organic roses which are either grown at your home or free of pesticides and other chemicals.
Double boiler
Take two pots, one smaller than the other. Place it inside the bigger pot. Fill the bigger one with water and rose petals.
Extraction
Now, use an inverted lid to cover the pot and put some ice cubes on top of it. Turn on the heat and let the water boil.
Distilled rose water
In the smaller pot, you will capture the distilled rose water. It will be purely colourless with a hint of rose fragrance.
Conclusion
You can store distilled rose water for a much longer time than other DIYs. For additional benefit, add some glycerin to it.
