Soothing Moisturizer

Organic roses are suitable for all skin types and offer amazing skin moisturizing properties for dry and sensitive skin. The natural oils in rose petals trap moisture into skin cells, hydrating and moisturizing them. To make a soothing moisturizer, you will need organic rose water, raw honey,  shea butter and a few essential oils of your choice. Now to prepare this moisturizer, place 1 cup of shea butter, 1 tbsp raw honey and 1/4 cup of organic rose water in a high speed blender. Blend till you get a silky white cream. Scoop it into a clean container then mix in 5 drops  geranium essential oil, 5 drops lavender essential oil and 5 drops tea tree essential oil. Store in a clean container in a cool dry place. You can use this moisturizer for normal and dry skin.

Oil Control Action
Most facial toners contain alcohol or witch hazel which tend to severely dry out skin. Roses will leave your skin soft smooth and supple as they have a natural astringent effect on skin. When applied to skin in paste form, rose petals will tighten skin and shrink large pores, keeping skin fresh and toned.

Gently Exfoliates Skin

Dried rose buds  or petals have a gentle texture which helps deep cleanse skin; removing dirt, grime, excess dead cells, excess sebum and germs, stuck within skin pores. To make a gentle exfoliant, simple blend 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1 cup of rose petals/buds (fresh or dried) and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Add 7 drops of rose essential oil or geranium essential oil for a gorgeous scent. Store in a clean container. Use about 1-2 tbsp in the shower to gently scour off grime & dead cells from your whole body as well as seal in moisture.

Nourishes Hair Follicles
Roses are rich in powerful anti-oxidants that nourish hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. Rose water is also a great hair conditioner and helps pump up dry hair cells with moisture. Did you know that rose water also promotes hair growth?!  Spritz and massage rose water on your scalp, using gentle circular motions after a shower, to improve blood circulation and promote luscious long hair.
