ROSE WATER is one of the most underestimated ingredients and product. How many of you use rose water in their daily life?
The benefits for skin and overall health are abundant when you add rose water or as it is called rose hydrosol into your daily living. Like anything else, go with small steps to try new things and adjust them to your lifestyle, not vice verse.
Knowing some things about rose hydrosol would fill your life with more joy and satisfaction. Little things like rose water can calm down inflammation in the skin of the scalp, or it can fight acne and plays a regenerative role when applied to skin. Things like that.
Ready to embark for our little Big journey of today? Let’s Sail!

Good morning! I’ve heard of it but I’ve never used it or knew of it’s benefits.
Good morning all . The rose smell will bring you happy thoughts. 🙂
Good morning everyone, hope your day is going well! I don’t use rose water, I really don’t care for the scent of it. It’s one of those childhood memory things that just makes me very uneasy. I love the smell of roses, and I’ve used it in recipes and it doesn’t bother me, but for skin care, candles, or any cosmetics, it’s just not pleasant for me.
Good morning. NO, I haven’t been using it but I’ve been hearing more and more about it and been wanting to try 🙂
This is a first for me to hear about this I am now anxious to learn more! #AMCoffee
I have never uses rose water, But I know back in the olden days. Ladies used rose water as a perfume. Because they had nothing else to use as perfume.
Good morning, I’ve never heard of Rose water. I want to know more.

Yes, you can buy or make your own water rose. I’ve been using for years this which has some of the best and purest in form Rose and Lavender waters. I buy the biggest bottles and then dilute it with distilled or spring water, depending on what I intend to use it for.
Sounds good for the whole family. I didn’t know it had so many benefits. I am always on the look out for something to help with my kids eczema also
Is this something you can buy or make yourself?
wow it sounds like I need to try this out so many great benefits it sounds awesome how do I try this
Constance,
Yes, you can make your own Rose Hydrosol, and you can easily buy some of the best and organic here, I use them for my skin care makes and making my own diluted sprays with their Rose and lavender waters.
Thanks for sharing. Can you get it at health stores?
Wendy,
You can, but I would go for an online sources that offer more variety and quality and better pricing.
This is amazing!! This is perfect for our kids & my own sensitive skin <3 I would love to know how to get some or make it myself, if anyone knows how you can or someone who sells this message me here or on FB Rachael L Roberts If you want my email just message me
I knew some of the benefits but not all! Should have read further…I use rose water as a facial toner….didn’t know it was the same as Rose Hydrosol.
Whoa, I had no idea it had so many benefits. I’m surprised I haven’t heard much about it before. I’m very interested in trying it. I especially didn’t know you could drink it. I’m interested in it’s healing properties and the eczema benefits. I also find it interesting that it has disinfectant properties. Sounds like I have really been missing out!
I had no idea there were so many benefits to it! It sounds like something we should have on hand, though.
Thanks for sharing I did not know all of this. I like the scar thing because I have many.
Well I had no clue there were so many benefits to this. Maybe I’ll have to learn to deal with the scent.
I’ve wanted to try it mainly to drink, I did not know it fights acne! That’s awesome… and anti-aging. I’m always looking for anti-aging items that also help for acne.
That was information, I did not know. Thank you.
Wow, it helps with so many things.
I may need to try it to combat my acne and aging skin 🙂
I like the calming affect it has on my face, decollete…..my problem areas. I love rose water but do not like it infused in my food or drinks.
i would love to send this article to my daughter she still struggles with acne and is so tired of trying everything to help her maybe something this simple would help
Sounds so good love , the scent of rose, love the multiple benefits, skin, scalp and disinfectant. Looked at online store also not bad priced either and like that they take Paypal, thank you for sharing!! 🙂
I didn’t know about rose water benefits I will be trying to learn more about this topic, Thanks for enlightening me today. #amcoffee
WOW, I never knew it had so many benefits to it. I really like that it help ease any stress and anxiety. 2 things that I have so much of lately… The stress is very much affecting me daily. I really have to give it a try… Thank you for sharing the information and benefits of rose water. I will keep reading to learn more about Rose Water..
Never knew about all those benefits. Would like to make my own, but don’t know how.
ROSE WATER AND ITS BENEFITS FOR SKIN
Rose water is made by distilling rose petals, which results in a very aromatic liquid rich in oils and all the beneficial essence of petals.
As a skin soother, rose water acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. That means for you:
– Hydrates your skin
– Reduces excessive skin redness (that could be from broken capillaries)
– Soothes dry irritated skin
– Soothes sunburns
HUGE TIP –> Soak a cotton ball in Rose water and hold it under your eye –> Reduces the appearance of dark circles under your eyes!
– Acts as an Astringents, which reduces the size of pores
HUGE TIP –> Use Rose water to remove excess dirt and oil from your skin, it’ll unclog your pores! While using it, regular application can calm down acne, thus making your skin tone more even and more beautiful
oh wow I really would love to try this I could use it for my head to toes sounds great give me more information on this cant wait till the nest comment
Awsome, I definitely need it for my dark circles, I have had them all my life
I have seen a difference in my skin tone since using Rose water as a toner!
I have a bunch of broken capillaries on my cheek under my eye and also around my nose. I would love to try this and see if it helps. For years, I’ve been searching for something to reduce the huge red spot on my cheek. I’ve read that a photo facial could help but that’s all I could find. Where do you buy rose water?
I would really love to try this! I don’t get much sleep so the cotton ball idea would probably be a good place to start.
So many amazing uses for everyone!! I plan on using it for my dark circles,reduce pores & hydrate my skin. I also want to let my daughter use it for dry irritated skin,sunburns & to help with her acne!!
All great information and I am going to have to start using rose water. Thanks Laura. 🙂
I’d definitely be interested in something to help with pores and to even out skin tone.
Raye,
We gotta run a test, a little experiment with you!
I am using it for my under eye dark circles when I get them from to much work.
I stopped using Astringents as they irritate my skin. I need to try rosewater… !
That’s cool, I need to look for products with roses in them and maybe a candle warmer tart for my candle warmer. I wouldn’t mind smelling roses all day, it does sound relaxing.
I am going to try this, it sounds great. Where can you buy rose water?
Sounds like I could use some Rose water (from sunburns to the dark circles under my eyes-I have a need to get my paws on some!)
I will have to try the cotton ball trick for my fiances bags. And I do use it daily but have not noticed any less redness but definitely has a wonderful soothing effect.
i am going to try this for real i am going to go buy like a lot of roses lol and get busy this is what i need for my face
Wow could definitely use for redness, irritation, and for dark circles 🙂
Love all the uses! #amcoffee
I will deff. have to give it a try not only for the stress and anxiety but now for the dark spots under my eyes from lack of sleep due to the stress. It also has to have a wonderful scent. I also love how it will unclog your pores without the harsh chemicals.
I would love to try this to reduce the size of my pores on my nose and chin. Have been looking for a product to use for this problem.
With the summer at full swing, take advantage of these refreshing recipes!
RECIPE: Rosewater Lemonade
Makes 6 ½cups
– 5 1/3 cups water
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 1/3 cups fresh lemon juice (about 6 to 7 lemons)
– 2 ½ to 3 ½ teaspoons rose water
Water and sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Stir in lemon juice and rose water to taste. Chill well before serving.
now that sounds refreshing and pretty simple so where do I get this rose water
Yes sounds very refreshing
This sounds interesting…I’ve never thought of using Rose water in a drink!
I will definitely try this. I just can’t believe all the benefits of rose water. It does sound very refreshing!
I’m going to a bbq this weekend, I think this would be the perfect thing to bring. It’s unique and different and sounds awesomely refreshing.
This sounds awesome I am going to have to make some <3
This will be great for picnics or get together this summer. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Can anyone tell me where I can buy rose water?
I’m wondering the same. Can I just buy roses and make it? What’s the recipe for that? Are commercial roses safe????
I’m catering a party tomorrow. It’s going to be held outdoors, and it’s going to be pretty hot. I think I’ll stop by the health food store for some rose water, and make a couple of gallons of this for those who prefer non alcoholic drinks. I think it will be a big hit!
Can you buy rose water in the grocery store, a herbal store or should I wait until my neighbor isn’t looking and go over them and go snip off a few of hers.lol
I say grab the neighbors but Im not expert on rose water (or being neighborly-LOL 😉 )
Yum, refreshing for the hot weather in summer
I like regular lemonade (and raspberry) Maybe this one would be just as Yummy
Maybe with that small amount of rose water it would be ok. I really don’t like the taste or essence of roses. It’s actually one of my least favorite flowers…lol.
i think i am going to ask my mom to make this and try it she is in to this type of thing and if she iikes it maybe i will try it sometimes i just can’t justify the taste or the flavor
That does sound really good!! I generally just drink ice water with a little fresh lemon, never would think to add rose flavor to it!! 🙂
Love it! Going to try it! #amcoffee
I am not a big fan of Lemonade, but love hoe you can incorporate it into recipes.
Sounds like a refreshing summer drink. Thanks for the recipe. I’m copying it..
Yummy Bakes Would Tentilize Any Taste in Any Season!

RECIPE: ALMOND-ROSE POUND CAKE
Makes 12 to 16 slices
– Cooking spray

2. Put the pieces of butter into the large bowl of an electric mixer and set aside about 15 minutes to soften. Grind almonds finely in a food processor or blender and set aside.
3. When butter has softened, cream with sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir together flour and salt. Slowly add to the creamed mixture, beating until batter is smooth.
4. Remove about a third of the batter and add rose water and jam, stirring until smooth. Stir the ground almonds and almond extract into the remaining batter. Spoon half of the almond batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Spoon all of rose batter into the pan, spreading evenly. Then top with remaining almond batter and spread until smooth.
5. Bake cake on center oven rack 50 to 60 minutes or until it tests done. Cool cake in pan 15 minutes, then run a knife around the outside edge and also around the center tube. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

wow that sounds yum as a baker I would love to give this a shot pound cake with my fresh strawberries that I have been picking in my garden
ok ladies I have to go but I will be back later I must know all about this so I will come back as soon as I get home I and very interested in this
Yes it does karen. Making me hungry, I haven’t eaten yet
Constance me to lol
Sounds like a lovely treat. I like the addition of almonds and almond extract. I bet it tastes delicious. Another recipe I would love to try.
This sounds awesome…even with the almonds (I’m don’t usually like them). Where would I find Rose jam/preserves? I’ve never seen it in stores here.
I wonder if almond flour would be okay to substitute for regular flour. I really love the taste of almond.
I would think do and its healthier
I’ve never heard of almond flour, that sounds interesting.
Sounds AMAZING!! Another one I make over the summer Thanks!!
First I love the color of the rose petals because pink is favorite color. This pound cake sound really yummy .
Thanks for sharing recipe.
yum! clipping to evernote 🙂
I’ve never seen rose jam. I’ll have to check the health food store in town. It’s tiny, so they may not carry it, but they’re great at ordering anything a customer requests.
I really don’t know if my family will try it if I tell them the name. But if I don’t mention the rose part. They’ll eat anything. lol
Barbara,
You see, everything is in your MIND!
Once you change the mind – anything is possble –> like eating a cake with rose water in it! he he
Never knew you could put in a cake, sounds delightful.
Mmmm…cake! I normally wouldn’t think to use rosewater in one but I love me some cake-its worth trying someday
That’d be fun for an afternoon tea party.
NOT SURE ABOUT THIS! I’m pretty much a white cake kind of person! sometimes to take that next step to try something like this is very hard
Used to love to bake and love almond, that sounds so good will have to share with my daughter, now she loves to bake and share what she makes with me :).
I love to cook new dishes and my family loves trying new dishes sounds perfect for summer! #amcoffee
Another great recipe to try! Thanks so much. Sounds delish!
FACIAL ROSE MASK
ALMONDS + ROSE WATER = AMAZING SOOTHER, EXFOLIATOR, MOISTURIZER
You can store this mixtures for about 4 days in a air-tight container!
1/2 Cup Almond pulp
(soak almonds overnight and then crush them in food processor)
2 Tbsp Honey (use bee-friendly honey, not synthetics!) –> it will act as a preservative
1 Tbsp Rose Water
When you mix all the ingredients together, apply the mask to your face and neck for 10-15 minutes ( you can actually walk in it if you don’t want to lie down).
When you are ready to wash it off, apply a bit more all over the face to use it as a Scrub! Great Exfoliator on your finger tips indeed!
The mask gives your the following:
– Rose water is anti-inflammatory and would calm any skin/acne inflammation
– Raw honey is anti-bacterial
– Almonds would exfoliate, i.e., get rid of dead cells, allowing all the amazing ensemble of the ingredients to exude their beneficial properties onto the young, new cells!
– It’s a hydrating mask
Awesome, I wanna try it. I love trying new face mask
I want to dip my face in that water, it looks so refreshing! I can’t believe how many different ways you can use rose water! I love all these facial recipes that you can make at home!
Jennifer,
You’re not alone –> wanting to dip your face straight into that bowl!
I use rose and lavender water to freshen up my clean bed linens. I have prepped up bottle with Rose and Lavender hydrosols diluted with distilled water in a spray bottle.
I wonder how it compares in price to other masks.
This sounds like a good exfoliator for me and all I need to get are the almonds!
I am going to this with my girls & have a mommy & me night!!
Rachael,
That would be wonderful!
You are going to have a lot of good laughs!
I left a message she is amazing!!
Now I will have to try this on my face. Thanks for all the beauty tips Laura. I love the smell of roses. 🙂
awesome, I gotta treat me to a spa night…
Added this to my list of facials you’ve taught us about. This one sounds perfect for one of my sisters.
Going try it this weekend, I have raw honey I just need get rose water. Can’t wait to see how it feels.
It would feel great especially when you add that 10-15-minute break for yourself!
This sounds wonderful.
Ahhhhhhhhh! Face masks are fun! (and refreshing!)
I to am going to try it we also have bee hives and get fresh honey
Sounds like something I could use and not get irritated. Are the almonds a smooth scrub? I’ll have to check it out.
now for some reason the almond and the rose in a face mask sound more refreshing and more like i would for sure try this the oil from the almonds has to truly be great for your skin
Wow there are many different moisturizers with wonderful benefits!!! Does make you want to dip right in!! 🙂
Sounds like a great little me time pick up! Thanks for the great info! #amcoffee
