Here are 8 of the mind-blowing benefits that rose water can provide. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. pH Levels<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people do not even realize that the skin has a natural pH balance that should be maintained. The natural pH balance<\/a> of the skin is 5.5. Unfortunately, the constant use of wipes, face washes, soaps, lotions, and other items on the skin can disrupt the natural pH balance. This is where rose water can be extremely beneficial. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rose water will bring the skin back to the natural state and restore the pH balance. The result of using rose water on the skin is great as it will provide your skin with the moisture that it needs and help it maintain the pH levels. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily use of rose water on the skin can be very beneficial and is a simple thing to add to your daily routine.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Acne Reduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rosewater <\/a>has many anti-inflammatory characteristics. This means that it can help to soothe skin that is irritated. Irritated skin is the main cause of acne. As the pores in the skin become clogged it can cause a build-up of bacteria, which turns into pimples and other skin inflammations. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Toner<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another great benefit of rose water is that it can simply be used as a healthy way to tone your skin. Many toners that are on the market are full of chemicals <\/a>that may not be very healthy for your skin. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Fight Eczema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More than 35-million Americans live with the skin disorder eczema<\/a>. Doctors are still at a loss to explain the cause of the condition, but many medical professionals believe that it’s an autoimmune disease.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immune system mistakes healthy skin cells for a bacteria or virus and decides to attack a specific area of the skin, causing the development of an itchy rash. The skin around the affected area looks swollen and red, and the patient may experience flaking of the skin, similar to dandruff.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eczema can occur anywhere on the body, but the most common areas are the scalp and forearms. There is no cure, and treatments are often ineffective at removing the rash. Some people with eczema may also be allergic to corticosteroid creams that typically resolve rash symptoms. Use of corticosteroid creams may exacerbate your symptoms.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there is a natural remedy for the condition in rose water. Soak a hand towel in rose water and apply it to the affected area for relief from itching and irritation. You can also add rosewater to your shampoo bottle, and wash your hair with the formula to relieve eczema affecting the scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ingredient\u2019s cooling properties, coupled with its anti-inflammatory properties, help soothe the irritation and aggravation caused by such skin conditions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. Soothes Sunburn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People who spend too much time outdoors in the peak sun hours of the day, run the risk of incurring a sunburn<\/a>. Sunburns vary in intensity and effect, depending on the duration of time the patient spends unprotected in the sun. The UV rays penetrate the layers of the skin, causing inflammation that results in a reddening of the skin, and in some cases \u2013 edema.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunburn can be an incredibly painful condition to have to deal with, especially if you are on vacation. A sunburn can ruin your holiday, leaving you bedridden while you recover from the effects of the condition. Sunburn also increases the presence of free radicals in the skin layers. Free radicals attach to healthy skin cells, inducing cell oxidation, and cell death, leaving you with fine lines and wrinkles in your face or the affected area.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak a towel in rose water and apply it to the affected area for fast relief from the painful effects of a sunburn. Rosewater contains antioxidants that eliminate free radicals, limiting skin damage. Rosewater also has a cooling effect on the skin that reduces irritation from sunburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. Stop Rashes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we develop a rash<\/a>, it’s typically a sign of an underlying health problem that needs treatment. Research shows that there are hundreds of different types of outbreaks, and they all have different characteristics and effects on the skin. Some rashes are incredibly itchy and irritating.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions like “contact dermatitis,” can be so irritating that the affected individual scratches open the skin on the surface of the rash, releasing pus and fluids that allow the rash to spread in size. Other outbreaks like petechiae, produce flat, red spots on the eyelids, and the rash presents no symptoms of irritation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those patients experiencing the onset of an itchy rash can soak a towel in rosewater and apply it to their skin as a cold compress. The anti-inflammatory properties of the rose water help to relieve itching symptoms while speeding up the healing process. Repeat the treatment as often as necessary throughout the day, and you should start to feel relief from your symptoms from the first treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Lip Stain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why spend hundreds of dollars throughout the year on lipstick, when you can get the same effect using natural products? The cosmetics <\/a>industry is worth nearly $60-billion, and one of the most popular items available is lipstick. Women wear makeup to impress others in society, it\u2019s a standard that most women feel they have to live up to, or they risk losing out on opportunities in life, like finding a partner or landing a good job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there is a natural way of coloring your lips, without relying on lipsticks that contain artificial ingredients and colorants. You can make an attractive lip stain to replace your lipsticks using the following components.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022    1-teaspoon rose water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022    1-small red beet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chop the beet and roast it in the oven for 45-minutes until dry and free of moisture. Remove the beet from the oven and let it cool before grinding into a powder. Mix the rose water into the power, until it forms a paste, then store it in a small glass jar in the fridge.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply the lip stain as often as you like. You should achieve a pleasant pinkish tone from the lip stain, and you won\u2019t have to worry about it coming off on your coffee mug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

13. Exfoliation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exfoliating your face is an essential part of any skincare routine. Exfoliation <\/a>opens your pores, washing away all toxins and oils from your skin, leaving your face primed for moisturizing. Women, and some men, who do not exfoliate once or twice a month at least, run the risk of developing skin disorders and blemishes that run their physical appearance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with oily skin and conditions like acne should exfoliate every morning before moisturizing their faces. Most exfoliation products contain chemical ingredients that strip back the layers of oil. However, some people may have allergies to these ingredients, forcing them to look for a natural alternative.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, rose water makes an ideal base for a homemade exfoliation product. Add 1-tablespoon of Multani mitti to 2-teaspoons of rose water and mix to make a paste. Apply the paste to your face and work it into the skin. Leave the mixture to sit for 2-minutes before rinsing your face with more rose water. Repeat this treatment two to three times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Microbial Properties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The anti-inflammatory<\/a> and anti-microbial properties of rose water make it an ideal natural treatment for many different skin disorders. If you have a cut, scrape, or bruise on your skin, rosewater can help reduce healing time while protecting you from infection.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak a towel in rosewater, and apply it to the damaged area of the skin. Rosewater has cooling properties that soothe inflammation, reducing the severity of skin damage. The soothing action of rose water also helps to reduce irritation and accelerate the healing process.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin wounds are at risk of infection with bacterial and viral pathogens. Rosewater provides the skin with a protective barrier that fights off invading pathogens, protecting your skin.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The potent anti-microbial properties of rose water are effective at preventing infection with Staphylococcus Aureus. Should you train in a contact sport, such as wrestling or jiu-jitsu, then washing with rose water after your training session protects your skin from infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Soothe a Sore Throat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the change of seasons, particularly between spring and summer, viruses and bacteria become more active, causing more infections. If you find yourself coming down with a case of the seasonal flu, then you may start to experience the onset of fever <\/a>and other flu symptoms, like a sore throat.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sore throat can occur for numerous reasons. Bacterial and viral infections can cause tonsillitis, inducing pain, and swelling in the throat. Other bacterial infections with the streptococcus bacteria may result in the development of a condition known as \u201cstrep throat.\u201d Patients with strep throat find that they experience severe levels of pain and discomfort during the infection.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, rose water can provide you with relief from your symptoms of a sore throat. Rosewater has anti-microbial properties that kill off invading pathogens. Gargle with rose water two to three times a day, and you\u2019ll notice significant relief from your symptoms.
