5 SKIN BENEFITS OF ROSE WATER

Rose Water is a very popular ingredient in skincare products because of its range of benefits and beautiful scent. We’ve highlighted the top five benefits of rose water for skin.

1. SOOTHES SKIN IRRITATION

One of the key benefits of Rose Water is that it is rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This means that it helps to soothe areas of your skin that have become irritated. Whether you suffer from a skin condition or allergic reactions, or you have sensitive skin, try adding Rose Water for face and body to your skin care routine to soothe your irritated skin.

The NIVEA Rose & Almond Caring Shower Cream is made to soothe and pamper your skin in the shower, whilst providing a delicate cleanse - perfect for treating irritated skin. With Rose Water Extract, it will also leave your skin smelling beautiful.

2. REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF REDNESS

With its antibacterial properties, it can balance out your skin’s complexion and fight against red and blotchy areas. Rose Water for skin care is also highly effective in treating oily, acne-prone skin.

3. FIGHTS INFECTIONS

Rose Water is an antibacterial. This means that it fights off bacteria that could lead to infections. Using Rose Water for face and body care can prevent wounds such as burns and cuts becoming infected and it can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars when used in high concentrations.  If you think a wound or a cut is becoming infected, be sure to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

4. HYDRATES SKIN

Among everything else, Rose Water is a great hydrator. Due to its gentle and soothing nature, it does a great job at protecting your skin from becoming dry and damaged. Hydrated skin helps to fight off skin conditions and provides a radiant and healthy-looking glow. Rose Water for face care is particularly effective.

5. CONTAINS ANTI-AGEING PROPERTIES

Rose Water is used in a lot of beauty products because it contains antioxidants that strengthen skin cells and help skin regenerate.  It also has the ability to reduce signs of ageing. When applied to an area, rose water plumps the skin and improves the appearance of wrinkles. Rose Water also tightens the skin, meaning that your skin looks firmer and more radiant. A lot of people use Rose Water for face care for this exact reason. Try our NIVEA Rose Care Moisturising Gel Cream for intense 48H hydration, elegant fragrance and anti-ageing ingredients. It works effectively as part of your daily routine.
