Skin Spritzer
Natural Skin Care Rose Water
Skin Spritz Recipe

This natural skin care recipe for a rose water skin spritzer is shared by P.K. from Northwest USA.

P.K.'s Grandmother used to brew large batches of rose water to use as facial rinse as well as a refreshing summer skin conditioner that provided the skin with lots of natural nourishment.

P.K. has adapted the uses of her grandmother's favorite skin care recipe into a toner, skin spritzer and facial treatment.

Gather at least a dozen roses in full bloom (just the blossoms) along with a generous hand full of rose hips.

Rose hips are the berry that forms after the rose has shed its petals.  They are a powerful antioxidant, rich in vitamin c and they produce a natural form of vitamin A.

Rose water and rose hips have been used throughout history as a beauty treatment for the skin for the range of skin conditioning effects of the antioxidants as well as for the skin firming properties.
