Homemade Rose Water Toner

I decided to make my Mom a homemade rose water for her birthday. Personally, I love the stuff and found it to be a really good toner and it smells divine. 

Recently, I was given these beautiful roses and thought they would make excellent rose water. Having never made it before, I wasn't sure how they'd work out verses normal red roses. Which is what most people use but I am a rebel and always tend to go against the grain. :)

To make the Homemade Rosewater:
Ingredients: 

• Roses (as many as you like-I used 12 stems)
• Distilled water (enough to cover the rose petals- I used about 1.5 liters)

1. Remove petals from stems and run them under semi-warm water. You want to remove any leftover residue on the petals. 

2. Add the petals to a large pot of water and top with enough distilled water to cover the petals. Add any more than that and your rose water will become diluted. 

3. Over a medium-low heat bring the water and petals to a simmer and cover. 

4. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes or until petals have lost their color or are a pale pink (if you use red roses.) For me, mine became a lighter peachy type color an lost all the red accents around the tops of the petals. 

5. Strain the petals to separate the petals from the water. 

6. Discard the petals and place the rose water in a glass jar to store. I used a giant Ball canning jar. 

To make a Homemade Rosewater Face Toner:

• 1 T pure rosewater (recipe above)
• about 4 T of distilled water (or enough to fill your spray bottle)
• 1 2.5 ounce spray bottle

To make:

1. Combine all ingredients in spray bottle and shake.

2. To apply: spray directly on face or spray a cotton pad and wipe face to remove any residue.

Store any extra rosewater in the fridge to help preserve it for a longer time. It keeps for a long time if stored correctly. 

Benefits Of Rosewater and How to use it!

What is Rosewater? 

Until recently joining my makeup business I hadn't heard of Rosewater before. I'm not a girly girl, nor did I know much about makeup. Let alone how to apply it. All have to admit that was the reason I wanted to join. 

Making girlfriends have never come easily to me. I tend to be shy at first, sometimes I feel like I'm too nice. Either way, I have no real luck. 

So, after joining I was super excited. I wanted to learn everything I could about the products we sell. Read the reviews from other non-presenters, and truly get a feel for the company. 

I started to watch makeup tutorials, howto's and follow makeup artists for tips. Three months later, I'm proud to say I've learned so much. My makeup application has gotten so much better. I'm still learning but feel super stoked with myself so far!

So, Why should everyone use Rosewater? 

Rosewater has a number of wonderful properties that help balance PH, is a great facial toner, puff eye remover, and many more benefits I'll talk about below. 

It's gentle enough for all skin types and even helps reduce acne. I've explained these benefits below in more detail, plus added a few more!

Benefits Of Rosewater For Skin:

1. Rosewater helps to maintain your skin’s pH balance.
2. It helps fight acne, dermatitis, and eczema.
3. Rose water hydrates, revitalizes and moisturizes the skin, and makes it smooth.
4. It also helps to heal scars, cuts, and wounds.
5. Rose water cools the skin.
6. It helps to tone the skin. It also has anti-bacterial properties.
7. The antioxidant properties of rose water help to strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissues.
8. The nourishing and moisturizing properties of rose water enhance the quality of hair.
9. Rose water helps to treat mild scalp inflammations and dandruff that are caused by fungal infections.
10. It also helps to revitalize aging skin and keeps fine lines and wrinkles at bay.

How to use Rosewater?

Eye Puffiness?

Chill in fridge applies to puffy eyes with a cotton ball.

Is Mascara drying out? 

Add a few drops in the tube and on the wand of your favorite mascara. It helps to bring back that moisture and is fortified with our Uplift Eye Serum. 

Use On my Hair?

After shampooing for conditioning and amazing shine! 

After Sun care?

Rosewater has natural anti-inflammatory properties that soothe skin and reduce redness from an overheated skin. A must have if you live in my sunny Arizona climate. 

Set your Makeup with just a mist of spray for that polished off, dewy look for a fresh hydrated skin appearance.

I really urge each of you to give this product a try. It was one of the first things I ordered from my site when I started and I'm so happy I did. 

Absolutely one of my favorite face products to use every day. I don't wear a lot of face makeup on a daily basis and so I feel this really gives my skin a fresh and clean feeling. Plus, the smell is just like aromatherapy! My wrinkles don't look nearly as pronounced either. Very happy customer! 

**Product Review** ERA Ageless

I'm super excited to talk about Era Ageless. One because I think it's a great product and two I think it even works!! I know, I know...for all you unbelievers out there but this one might just actually work. 

I have before and after pics, so you can judge for yourself. Completely untouched! 

So lets get started.....

This picture below is what I was sent. It's a sample pack of different products. 

1. Facial Peeling Gel
2. Facial Peeling Gel
3. Elastin & Beta Carotene Mask
4. Moisture Cream
5. Facial Serum
6. Eye Serum
7. Eye Cream

UPLIFT EYE SERUM 

Ok, so what I love about the products. First thing you notice is..well for me anyways is smell. I smell everything. It's not overpowering or too fragrant. Which really bothers me about other products. I don't want something too smelly on my face, it goes near yours eyes for goodness sake! So I was really happy with that. 

Another thing I noticed was how soft the creams and gels are. Especially the eye serum. Which is by far my favorite of all the products so far. It's like rubbing silk on your eyes. Absolutely fab! 

Every one of the products absorbs really well. You're not having to rub and rub your face to get it all massaged in. Another great thing! 



Now, I've only been using this for a week and I'd have to say in all fairness, you probably want a bit more time trying a product before determining it works or doesn't work. On this case though, I'd have to disagree. 

My face seems more glowy and I even got a compliment from a family member that said my face looked great and glowing. So I'm not even the only one who noticed...pretty cool!!

Here are my before and after photos!

Another great way to stay ageless is exercising! Only $19 dollars to get started!
