Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi Bartmom4, Wow, rose hydrosol benefits. I have been using rose hydrosol as a toner on my 55year old skin for at least 5 years, my skin is beautiful, relatively unlined and doesn't feel dry at all. From 25 to 45 I was plagued with acne, hormonal etc, over the last 10 years I have made a lot of my own masks and lotions using essential oils but wherever water content is needed I always put in rose hydrosol. I also have rose hydrosol in a spray which I take travelling, it's always in my handbag, freshens me up and I smell gorgeous, don't use any commercial perfumes. I have just returned from a trip and while at the Spice Market in Istanbul bought myself some, I was not able to carry a lot in my suitcase unfortunately. I highly recommend it. Jocelyn.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Thank you for this information. Michele P in MI aromamedical2003 <aromamedical wrote: There is very little scientific research on the hydrosol, but it has been used for possibly thousands of years. The most important uses are as a cooling anti inflammatory wash for damaged skin and sore eyes. It is ideal for babies bottoms when the skin is getting sore, or for other sore patches in adults around that delicate area. It is much better than essential oils where the skin is in a highly irritated state already, ie. psoriasis and eczema. This is all provided the hydrosol is bug free which certain suppliers can prove, but beware of those suppliers who do not test their hydrosols for contamination. Of course any claims such as rejuvenating the skin are just hogwash - yes you will come across that one! Like with lavender oil, there may be chemicals in rose hydrosol that aid regeneration of damaged skin cells but this is not the same as regenerating undamaged skin. Used as the water phase in a skin cream, it creates a lovely gentle soothing cream suitable for almost anything. There are of course many other uses for this hydrosol, at least it is one with sound traditional uses, unlike many others you will see being hyped on the internet.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Rose Hydrosol is a water first of all so it is hydrating to the skin. A lot of women use hydrosols in place of toners in their skin care routine. My favorite hydrosol is actually helichyrysum and have found that it makes my skin smoother, more refined, and heals like you wouldn’t believe.. much like the essential oil does but a lot more gentle. There are a lot of different hydrosols you just have to find which one works for you. But I would have to say that rose is one of the most popular Another fave of mine is cistus.

Do you use a preservative in the the Rose Hydrosol you use as a spritz and for your daily face care? Which preservative and at what rate. -- Be Well, Bobbi Guerra The Purple Sage ~ Bath & Body www.thepurplesage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
