Skin Care – Roses
I get so excited when I find ways to use my roses for my skin and my health. I am sharing below a couple of skin care recipes that are not only fun to make and use but leave your skin feeling renewed.
This mask and face moisturizer are awesome. Hoping you will enjoy using them.
Here’s a recipe for a homemade rose mask:
Rose Face Mask:
Ingredients:
- 4-5 fresh rose petals
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions:
- Wash the rose petals thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Place the rose petals in a mortar and pestle and gently crush them until they form a paste-like consistency. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, you can also chop the petals finely using a knife.
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed rose petals with yogurt and honey. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and pat it dry.
- Apply the rose face mask evenly onto your face, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Leave the mask on for about 15-20 minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic.
- Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry.
- Follow up with your regular moisturizer to lock in hydration.
This rose face mask is soothing, hydrating, and can provide a refreshing boost to your skin. The rose petals contain antioxidants that may help protect the skin from damage, while yogurt and honey provide moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Remember to perform a patch test before applying the mask to your face to check for any allergic reactions. If you have any known allergies or sensitive skin, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist before trying new skincare recipes.
Here’s a recipe for a homemade rose-infused moisturizer:
Rose-Infused Moisturizer:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried rose petals
- 1 cup carrier oil (such as sweet almond oil or jojoba oil)
- 1 tablespoon beeswax pellets
- 10-15 drops rose essential oil (optional for added fragrance)
Instructions:
- Place the dried rose petals in a clean, dry glass jar.
- Pour the carrier oil over the rose petals until they are fully submerged.
- Close the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks. This allows the oil to infuse with the rose petals and capture their beneficial properties. Shake the jar gently every few days to help with the infusion process.
- After 2 weeks, strain the infused oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the rose petals from the oil. Squeeze out as much oil as possible from the petals.
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water, melt the beeswax pellets.
- Once the beeswax has melted, add the rose-infused oil to the double boiler and stir well to combine. If desired, add the rose essential oil for extra fragrance.
- Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized glass jar or container. Allow it to cool completely and solidify before sealing the container.
- Your rose-infused moisturizer is ready to use! Apply a small amount to your face and body as needed to moisturize and nourish the skin.
This homemade rose-infused moisturizer combines the hydrating and soothing properties of roses with the moisturizing benefits of carrier oils and beeswax. It can provide deep hydration and help protect and soften your skin.
Keep in mind that this recipe uses dried rose petals for infusion. Ensure that the rose petals are free from chemicals or pesticides. Additionally, if you have any known allergies or sensitive skin, it’s advisable to perform a patch test before applying the moisturizer to your face or body.
