Not happy with the way your skin looks currently? Has it lost its glow and the smooth feel? It's time to keep aside those cosmetic products and turn to nature's magical potions to bring life to your skin. There's no better way to start than getting your hands on rose water, the most popular beauty ingredient that for ages has been a part of women's beauty regime. Back in the days almost every household stocked rose water or gulab jal to use for their skincare needs. Even the legendary beauty queen Cleopatra's beauty regime is said to have included rose water as one of the primary ingredients in her elaborate beauty regime.
Apart for its many wonderful skin benefiting properties, it is also rose water's versatility that makes it a popular choice for beauty. Whether you have an oily, dry or combination skin, it suits all skin types. You can even combine it with other natural beauty ingredients to make face wash, scrubs, skin toners and face packs. In fact, on its own, it is an excellent skin cleanser that effectively removes oil and dirt from the skin pores to bring back its natural glow.
Here are five reasons why rose water works as a great skin cleanser:
1. Balances skin's pH level
An important point to remember while taking care of your skin is its delicate pH level. Because of various external factors like pollution and harmful UV rays, the skin takes a toll. As such there are many skin problems that pop up. Rose water works well to retain the pH balance and keep the skin looking fresh.

Rose water acts like an astringent because of which when you apply rose water on the skin, it easily clears off dirt from the skin pores and tightens the skin.
3. Loaded with antioxidants
Being a rich source of antioxidants, rose water is often touted as an anti-ageing agent. The antioxidants actively work to repair skin tissues and strengthen it from within, thus preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Hydrates the skin
Rose water works like a charm to hydrate the skin from deep within and give it a refreshing new look. It is also known for its nourishing and moisturising properties that help in keeping the skin looking young and healthy.
