How to Use Floral Waters at home.

Floral waters, also known as hydrosols, are a wonderful byproduct of the steam distillation process used to extract essential oils from plants. Unlike essential oils, which are highly concentrated, floral waters are gentler and milder, making them ideal for direct application on the skin.

Facial Toners and Refreshing Sprays

Floral waters are excellent natural toners for your face. They can cleanse the skin, tighten pores, and refresh your complexion. Simply spray a fine mist over your face after cleansing or whenever you need a refreshing pick-me-up. Our Rose Hydrosol and Lavender Hydrosol are perfect for soothing and hydrating the skin.

Hydrating Face Masks

Mix your favorite clay or powdered mask with floral water to activate it and enhance the benefits. For example, Chamomile Hydrosol works wonders in calming inflamed skin and can be used as a base for face masks that target redness or irritation.

After-Sun Care

Sun exposure can leave your skin feeling dehydrated. Floral waters such as Rose Hydrosol help cool and moisturize your skin, providing much-needed relief.

Moisturizing Spritz for Hair

Floral waters can also work wonders for your hair. Lavender Hydrosol is great for calming the scalp, while Rosemary Hydrosol can invigorate and promote healthy-looking hair. Spritz them onto your hair for a gentle moisture boost, or use them to refresh and detangle.

DIY Facial Mist

Mix floral waters like Rose or Lavender Hydrosol with a small amount of glycerin or aloe vera gel to create a hydrating facial mist. This can be sprayed onto the face throughout the day for a quick pick-me-up.

Body Lotion Additive

Incorporate floral waters into your body lotion or cream for extra moisture and nourishment. A few drops of Lemongrass hydrosol can enhance the fragrance and add a light, refreshing scent to your lotion.

Bath Soaks

Add a splash of Chamomile Hydrosol or Lavender Hydrosol to your bath for a calming, aromatic experience. These hydrosols help to soften the skin and promote relaxation.

Aromatherapy for the Skin

Many floral waters have therapeutic benefits, such as Rose Hydrosol, which is known for its calming and rejuvenating effects. You can blend these hydrosols with your favorite skincare products to amplify their effects, particularly in serums, creams, or oils.

Floral waters are an excellent natural addition to your skincare routine. They offer a range of benefits, from soothing irritated skin to providing hydration, and they can be used in a variety of ways.
