Soothing, stress-releasing, anti-inflammatory, and infused with anti-oxidants is this some innovative new serum? Nope. Just some good old budget-friendly rose water.

Known and admired throughout history, this legendary liquid has preserved its appeal throughout years – and might as well help you do the same.

Here are a few tips on some of the best ways to incorporate rose water into your beauty routine.

 

Tone it up

Rose water can soothe and moisturize your skin better than any toner. Use it exactly the way you would use a store-bought product: pour some liquid onto a cotton pad, apply it to your skin and enjoy the freshness and hydration it leaves behind.
