I feel like scents are such a personal thing. What someone may love, another might loathe. If I had to pick a signature scent for me, it would be a mix of citrus and vanilla- basically LAVANILA Vanilla Grapefruit. Honestly though, not many scents offend me. And I find most, if not all, floral scents to be soothing.
My friend Rachel really doesn’t like the smell of roses, which is beneficial to me because she’s received rose products in beauty boxes that she passed along. I feel like rose has been popping up everywhere, and I don’t hate it! Besides the leave-in conditioner she gave me, I’ve been using Physicians Formula Rose All Day Serum.
But does rose actually have any specific benefits?
1. Rosewater helps maintain the skin’s pH balance, and also controls excess oil.
2. “Rose water has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the redness of irritated skin, get rid of acne, dermatitis and eczema. It is a great cleanser and aids in removing oil and dirt accumulated in clogged pores”, says Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj, Skincare Expert.
3. Rose water helps hydrate, revitalise and moisturise the skin giving it with that refreshed look.
4. Due to its antibacterial properties, rose water also aids in healing scars, cuts and wounds.
5. The antioxidant properties of rose water help to strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissues.
6. Due to the astringent like properties it possesses, rose water helps clean pores and tone the skin. Applying rose water after steaming tightens capillaries, reduces redness and blotchiness.
7. The aroma of roses is said to be a powerful mood enhancer. It rids you of feelings of anxiety and promotes emotional well-being, thereby making you feel more relaxed.
8. The nourishing and moisturising properties of rose water enhance the quality of hair. It is known to treat mild scalp inflammations and get rid of dandruff. Rosewater works wonders as a natural conditioner and revitalises hair growth.
9. The scent of rose water on your pillow also helps you sleep better after a long day, making you wake up refreshed.
10. It also helps aging skin, keeping fine lines and wrinkles at bay.
