Hey, pretty people!
I feel like we talk a lot about DIY beauty products on this blog, but not enough about the actual ingredients that go into said products.
Needless to say, they’re even more important!
If you’ve ever stumbled upon one of my skincare recipes, you most likely know which ingredients I use the most. Among them, of course, there’s rose water.
It’s not only a powerful toner, but also a great tool to help you shrink those pores.
You can easily buy a cheap rose water bottle from the shelves of your nearest drugstore, but what about crafting one up yourself?
It’s very easy and you’ll only need 3 ingredients!
Let’s get started!
YOU’LL NEED
- Rose petals
- Distilled water
- Vitamin E oil tabs (or straight up Vitamin E oil, whatever you want)
- A saucepan
- A container of your choice
LET’S TALK VITAMIN E OIL
I usually do a quick breakdown of each ingredient that goes into the DIY, but this time I just wanted to quickly touch on the Vitamin E oil part.
I see that many recipes do not include it, which is why I put the ‘optional’ writing, but I prefer to put at least one tab (ideally one teaspoon) into my recipe to help preserving.
You can easily store your DIY rose water in the fridge, but I find that adding Vitamin E not only allows you to keep it sitting in your bathroom, but also adds a few healthy properties for your skin.
Ok, now the crafting part can really begin!
The first thing you may want to consider is the fact that what kind of rose you pick will determine the color of the rose water.
This means, of course, that if you pick a yellow rose the final product will lean more towards a yellow-ish tone, while picking a red one will obviosly shift the shade towards a warmer tone.
Another little detail to keep in consideration is the fact that the more fragrant the rose is, the more the perfume will persist once the product is finally done. Wild roses are the best choice if you’d like a stronger smell!
SOME DETAILS
When cleaning your roses up, make sure the petals are completely clean and pristine. Leave them out on a towel for a little while if you notice little insects laying around.
For what concerns quantities, it’s really up to you.
Make sure all the petals will fit in your saucepan, but use as many as you like! Also, why don’t you try to mix things up a bit with a mix of white and red roses, perhaps?
Now that you’ve put your petals in the saucepan, it’s time to add the distilled water. Then, fill the pan up until the petals are (barely) covered.
Place the lid on and heat on low. Keep it low until most of the color has faded from the petals. Try and keep the water from coming to a simmer, as too much heat would damage roses’ benefits.
Once the petals have paled in a consistent manner, it’s time to strain the liquid and let it cool completely.
Once it’s strained and still hot, however, you can add your Vitamin E (1-2 tabs, which are about 1-2 teaspoons) and mix it together.
As soon as the liquid has cooled down, you can pour it into your container and it’s ready to be used!
