DIY Moisturiser | Acne prone skin

Rosewater on acne and acne scars works as a wonderful toner. Also you can make two in one acne plus moisturizer with rosewater to apply on acne. 

 To make Rosewater moisturizer for acne, you will require two main ingredients : 

1. Rose water 
2. Honey 

In this we won’t be using store bought rose water. We will make Rosewater at home. If you have bought rosewater of any brand, you would have certainly known the colour of rosewater to be light pink to transparent. But original, completely preservative free and natural rosewater is deep pink to reddish in colour. I was not aware of this until I made my own rosewater at home. So to make Rosewater you will need one cup of rose petals and half litre of purified water.

METHOD :

1. Just boil the water in a pan and when it boils completely, turn off the gas.
2. Wash the rose petals to get rid of any dust.
3. Now put them into the boiled water. 
4. Cover the container with a lid and let it cool.
5. After half an hour or so you will see that the rose petals have been discoloured to white and the water is all red.
6. At this point strain the water.
7. When it cools down put some of it into a small spray bottle and put the rest in another bottle and dump it in the freezer. We are storing rest of the rose water in the freezer because this is completely natural and preservative free , so it will spoil after few days if you don’t freeze it.
8. Now to make the moisturizer put 5 to 6 drops of honey in the spray bottle of rose water and shake well. For better results, store this also into freezer and defrost it whenever you want to use it.

When you apply Rosewater on acne, it helps maintain the skin's pH balance, and controls excess oil production, thereby preventing acne. And Cleopatra’s beauty secret , Honey is an excellent moisturizer packed with antioxidants and anti bacterial properties. It purifies skin by unclogging pores while moisturizing it at the same time. Both rosewater and honey soothes irritated skin and leaves a lovely afterglow.
