Skincare: The Benefits Of Rosewater

What’s so special about rosewater, then? Why am I so obsessed with it? Why do I currently have 5 bottles of this stuff?!

Rosewater is a new addition to my skincare routine, I’ve been using it for about a year now and Jurlique’s Rosewater Balancing Mist that has been my floral water of choice! When I was told about Jurlique’s Rosewater Balance Mist Intense Limited Edition, I was rather excited to get my hands on it because I know how well it works on my skin.

From what I can see from the ingredients list, the formula varies every so slightly but the Intense Limited Edition doesn’t differ that much to the original. The biggest different is the bottle design, the original is a frosted white glass and the limited edition is a stunning ombre glossy pink.

Using the brand’s philosophy of ‘Seed To Skin’, the mist is enriched with a unique blend of not one, not two, but FIVE precious rose extracts grown on Jurlique’s fan in Australia.

Not only does it smell divine, it is also formulated to give your skin a burst of hydration that lasts throughout the day. You can either mist directly on to face or spray some on your hands and pat it gently on to your skin.

The other benefits of using Rosewater are:

• It is anti-bacterial so it helps with healing scars.
• It has antioxidant properties. This helps with toning and strengthening skin to regenerate skin tissues.
• It’s moisturising so use under your usual face moisturiser to protect you from the elements during your day. It will soften your skin.
• Gently soothes and calms skin whilst helping it to maintain your skin’s pH balance, so if you suffer from skin problems, try using Rosewater.
• Refreshes your skin throughout the day so mist over your face when you need to cool down over Summer. You can even put the bottle in the fridge for 15 minutes to get an even more refreshing sensation.

Jurlique’s Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense is limited edition. It retails at £45 for a 200ml bottle which should last up to at least 6-8 months. Jurlique is stocked in Space NK, Selfridges, selected Marks & Spencer stores, and on Look Fantastic.
