Makes an ace moisturising face mask
Every week, you must treat your skin to a natural moisturising face mask. Simply make one yourself with the help of coconut oil, rose water and glycerin.

And rose water leaves your skin fresh and hydrated. These ingredients when mixed together work like magic to moisturize your skin.
Works as a face mist
Face mists are a blessing in every girl’s life, especially during scorching summers. It not only hydrates your skin but also helps you freshen up on the go.

Let the water settle into your pores before you follow it up with a moisturiser. This DIY toner will not just help you feel fresh but also lift your mood with its aroma of fresh roses.

The skin around our eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive which makes it more susceptible to reflect tiredness. Eye masks are best when it comes to treating puffy and tired-looking eyes. To soothe tired eyes, simply soak 2 cotton balls in rose water and freeze it for about 20 minutes. Press the cotton balls over your eyes and you’ll instantly feel fresh and relieved.
