In my recent travels I have focused my interests in two things: food and health.I will try anything at least once. One of my newest discoveries is rose water. In Costa Rica and other Latin American countries it is used to treat the skin.
Rose water is rich in antioxidants, it helps regenerate skin cells, moisturizes dry skin and traps the natural skin oils. It is used in many face creams and toners in the general market. However, using it on its own has much better benefits.
Traveling can be stressful, and stress always brings out the worst in my skin. My aunt recommended that I use rose water as a toner every night to help reduce redness and wrinkles. I have never been much of a "anti-wrinkle" girl but I'm all in with the anti-redness.I have to say my skin feels great, tighter and it has a delicious aroma.
You can buy rose water in drugstores in Costa Rica.In the United States try health food stores, small pharmacies and arabic or other ethnic supermarkets. Also, burt's bees just came out with a rose water toner , if you rather try something from a brand you already know.
