Could Rose Oil be the answer to a wonderful complexion? Beautiful, healthy and radiant skin depends a lot on what you use on it.  Pure, natural ingredients help to nurture your skin without stripping it or undermining its authenticity.

Rose Oil greatly prized in skincare

One of the most prized skincare ingredients is Rose Oil.  Recognized for its anti-oxidant, hydrating and balancing properties, Rose Oil is considered a versatile and highly effective ingredient that benefits all skin types from younger, oilier skins to mature skins.

Healing Rose Oil valued since Egyptian times

The rose is not only associated with its beautiful perfume, but it has also been used in herbal medicine and skincare products for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egyptian times.   Monks in medieval times cultivated roses for their therapeutic properties, while herbalists and alchemists recognized the benefits of rose in resolving a range of skin problems. Rose oil is a complex oil with over 300 components and is considered to have the following properties:-

• Antibacterial
• Anti-infectious
• Antiseptic
• Antispasmodic
• Astringent
• Tonic

Anti-aging effects of Rose Oil

Today, modern science has confirmed that roses do have remarkable benefits for the skin.  Rose oil supports the skin through hydration and moisture.  It has powerful anti-oxidant properties when used in skincare.   It can be effective as an anti-ageing treatment, can help protect the skin and can treat a range of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, because of its ability to balance the skin.  Products containing rose oil are known to increase collagen production, reduce the signs of ageing, such as fine lines and even minimize the appearance of cellulite. Rose water is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals, a by-product from the production of rose oil.  Rosewater has light astringent properties, making it an effective toner.  It can improve oilier skins by removing bacteria, dust and excess skin secretions.  It is equally effective for drier skins by keeping moisture locked in the epidermis and keeping skin fresh and smooth.  Spraying Rosewater regularly on your face can help to hydrate and refresh skin.   Rosewater is also considered to be effective for calming and treating sensitive or reddened skin.
