DIY Rosewater

Hello beautiful ladies. I hope you all are doing great. Today I have a Do-It-Yourself Beauty potion to share with you. I am going to show you how to make your very own rosewater at home. It is very easy to make and it is very pocket friendly. It is nearly four times cheaper than the store brought rosewater. So let’s jump into the recipe now.

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup Rose petals

2. 3 cups of Water

A tip here, use organically grown roses that are sold as Desi Gulaab at your local florist shop. As you can see that I was making a lot of rosewater. This was an experiment so I had to make a large batch to check its durability. But 1 cup of rose petals would be enough for you all.

Procedure:

1. Wash the rose petals with clean water and put them aside to dry.

2. Bring the water to a boil.

4. Cover the vessel with a lid and let the petals soak in the water for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, the rose petals transfer their colour as well as smell to the water.

5. Strain the water and let it cool completely. This will take 2 more hours.

6. And then store your gulab jal in glass or plastic bottles. The colour of your rosewater will depend on the colour of your rose petals. This rosewater has a shelf life of 1 to 1 ½ months. You need to store it in a cool place.

Here are 5 different ways to use incorporate this fragrant beauty potion into your beauty regime.

1. It works as a great toner to close all your pores. I had mentioned this earlier in my post that you can read it here (http://ahappygirlwrites.blogspot.com/2014/09/diy-toners.html).

2. Add rosewater to your face pack to make it work better. I already have a face pack with rosewater as a key ingredient. You can read it here (http://ahappygirlwrites.blogspot.com/2014/06/multani-mitti-chandan-face-p.html)

3. Add a tbsp. of rosewater to your bath water to reduce body odour.

4. Put some rose water on a cotton ball and put it in freezer for half an hour. You can use this to soothe your tired eyes.

5. Dab a cotton ball soaked in rosewater on your lips to make them look pink and rosy naturally.
