Rose water from my garden-a zen selfcare giving
1 hand full of rose petals
20 cl of spring wáter
The preparation of the rose water : Pick up the roses in the garden by an early morning after dew formed. Our grand mothers knew that the morning sun was the perfect companion to pick up flowers in the best way !
Place the petals one by one in a crystal bowl. Do it slowly and with much care and precision while laying each petal into the bowl.
Gently pour on the simmering water, cover the bowl then let infuse for 20 minutes.
Filter the preparation and let the rose water get cold. You can store the rosewater in a glass bottle in the fridge for several days.
Your skin care pause : by morning and by night, you will refresh and cleanse your face and your neck with some rose water droped on a soft cotton ball. You may also use a spray.
Make a special moment of your skincare pause : be aware of your sensations, inspire deeply and slowly the subtile perfume of the rose… make slow movements… feel the intense freshness on your skin…
Make your skin care slowly, take your time and appreciate. Then enjoy the softness of a gentle massage on your chin, your cheeks and your fronthead by drawing little circles with the tip of your fingers. Be aware of the delicate sensations that come to you.
As a symbol of love, rose has been celebrated both for its unique beauty and its delicate and subtile fragrance. Rose has also been used in many traditions for its benefits for beauty care and its rebalancing and positive effects on mind.
