The Beauty of Rose Water for the Skin
Spring season is finally here 🌸 The sun’s peeking through and the flowers are slowly blooming so why not have some of this nature’s goodness in our skincare routine? In K-Beauty many floral ingredients are actually beneficial to our skin. And one that reminds us of the beautiful spring flowers are roses 🌷 And yes, they aren’t just beautiful to look at, they are also amazing for our skin.
In Korean skincare, rose water is extracted by steeping rose petals in water to ensure that our skin can get the full benefits of the nutrients that they provide. Like many plant ingredients, rose naturally contains skin beneficial properties that brings the skin to ahealthy state while not sensitising it. Rose water has been used in skincare for centuries and some even consume it. So, how exactly does rose water help us to get the perfect skin?

There are many benefits to rose water that can help us achieve healthier-looking skin 🌹 As rose water comes from a plant, it naturally has plenty of antioxidants to protect our skin from environmental stressors like the harsh pollution and UV rays. These stressors can all contribute to showing premature signs of aging and damaged skin barriers. Thankfully, plants have high concentrations of flavonoids which contain antioxidants that will save our skin from those. The thorough steeping of the rose petals ensures that the rose water found in skincare has high levels of these antioxidants to protect the skin.
Another main benefit that rose water is known for, is being a natural hydrator for the skin 💦 With high skin hydrating properties, rose water instantly makes the skin look more plump without the need to apply heavy formulas. It can also sink into the skin fast for a quick hydrating pick me up. All skin types can benefit from hydration and antioxidant care so thumbs up for the two-in-one ingredient rose water , that works wonders even for sensitive skin types. This star ingredient can be easily found in many different products to ensure it fits and works around our skincare routine.
