Recipes for Rosewater - Facial Cleansers By Janet Ashby Rose water is a traditional facial cleanser and astringent. It also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and, of course, a lovely smell. To make a facial cleanser/toner using rose water is very quick and easy. To Make the Rosewater Gather rose petals fresh from the rose bush. Do not use fallen petals. You will need about two cups of rose petals to a liter or water. The amount will vary depending on the colour or the depth of fragrance you like. Experiment with different amounts and varieties of rose petals. If you do not have rose bushes dried rose petals can be purchased at health food stores. Place the rose petals in a heavy saucepan and add soft water. Either use clean rainwater or bottled spring water. Heat until just below the boil then cool and strain. Keep it in the refrigerator. To Make Rosewater Skin Cleanser/Toner Materials 1 cup rosewater 8-10 drops rose oil 2 teaspoons glycerine optional - 1/2 teaspooon grapefruit extract Blend together and keep in a sealed jar. The essential oil will act as a preservative and the grapefruit extract will also lengthen the shelf life. Interesting note: Rosewater is used in India in temple rituals.
