Rose water is part of Moroccan beauty heritage. Every spring, the Damask roses of the Dades valley and Kelaat M'Gouna are harvested and distilled into the fragrant water many families still use every day.
What is rose water?
Rose water is the water left after rose petals are distilled with steam. It keeps a light scent and is gentle enough for most skin types.
The benefits of rose water for the face
- Refreshes the skin, especially in the heat.
- Soothes and calms the feeling of tightness.
- Prepares the skin for your serum or cream.
4 ways to use rose water
- As a toner after cleansing, sprayed or pressed in with a cotton pad.
- As a refreshing mist during the day.
- Mixed with a drop of argan oil for a quick glow.
- Before your night cream to help it spread evenly.
