The benefits of roses in cosmetics

• Anti-aging: its antioxidant action makes rose an incomparable ally in preserving the epidermis against the effects of time. The aging process of cells is slowed down, which allows the skin to regenerate more easily. Obviously, we can never completely stop the biological clock and that is not the goal. But a little help to stay a little longer in these beautiful years does not hurt.
• Hydration: rose is also known for its regenerating and softening properties (skin elasticity) a very hydrating action. It is no coincidence that many big names in cosmetics have made it the main active ingredient in their day and night creams. Ideal for dry and mature skin.
• Soothing: in its form of hydrosol, vegetable oil, cream or even milk, rose soothes. Why? Due to its anti-inflammatory action, rose reduces the dilation of blood vessels and thus prevents the appearance of redness, calms irritations and itching. More unusual, its sweet scent acts on our nervous system and calms it… it is therefore also very popular in the form of essential oil to diffuse.
• Toning: it's no longer a secret but it's always good to remember it. Rose water, like floral waters in general, has a great toning capacity for the skin! Summer and winter, we treat ourselves. Morning (before your make-up routine) and evening (after your make-up removal routine) we soak our reusable wipe in rose water and gently pat it on the skin of the face. The active ingredients contained in the rose provide an unparalleled boost to tired skin! The patting will allow deeper penetration and will reactivate blood circulation.
• Purifying: pores are tightened thanks to the purifying and astringent action of rose. Rose water helps regulate sebum in particular. Imperfections are necessarily reduced and all this without even drying out the skin! Rose water has it all.

Please note

Rose is recommended to take care of all skin types but it is more recommended for dry and sensitive skin types since its purifying action does not dry out. It moisturizes and protects in depth, ideal for this type.
