LOVE YOURSELF WITH A ROSE PEDAL BATH

 Have you ever soaked in a bathtub of rose pedals? This type of bath is more than often connected to romantic practices during Valentines Day. In fact, treating yourself to a bath in a bathtub filled with rose pedals is rewarding for you by moisturising your skin, cooling skin, release stress levels, and restoring your glow. 

BATHE IN BATHTUB FILLED WITH ROSE PEDALS

Rose pedals have a long history of soothing the skin or reduce stress. The Egyptians, boiled down the roses and use them in balsams and perfume oils. In the Middle Ages, Persians appreciated rosewater and used it for medicinal treatment. 

By soaking yourself in a bathtub of rose pedals, the rose water will sooth irritated skin, brightens your complexion and tightens pores for a smooth appearance. The rose petals also give off a natural calming scent that has the power to melt away the day behind you. 

GOOD FOR SKIN HEALTH

One of the most natural ways to take care of your skin is dipping yourself in rose water. I strongly recommend it. The rose pedals give off strong anti-inflammatory properties, which will ease redness of the irritated skin, thwart acne, cure dermatitis and soothe the irritation of eczema. It is a fantastique cleanser and helps clear dirt and oil in clogged pores.

It also sustains the pH of the skin, hydrates, refreshes and moisturizes and enhances radiance. The presence of antioxidants in rose water strengthen skin cells and restore skin tissues.

Rose oil and powders provide a rich but gentle source of vitamins A and C and magnesium to the skin. These combinations assist with the regeneration of skin, soothing and nourishing dry skin, and soothing irritated complexions. Rose extracts help to balance oily and acne-prone skin which is ideal for anyone. 

The best roses to choose for your rose pedal bath Rosa damascena, Rosa centifolia and Rosa gallica. Remember, color is not important, selecting fragrant flowers with a scent is the best choice!

PREVENTS INFECTIONS

The strong anti-inflammatory properties of rose water help prevent and treat infections. History shows that rose water has been used widely in traditional medicines.

RELEASES STRESS

The fragrance/aroma of rose petals is known to be a potent mood enhancer, rose water also possesses strong antidepressant and anti-anxiety properties that help alleviate anxiety. This aids you in getting a good sleep and relaxes your mind and body.

HOW TO PREP YOUR ROSE PEDAL BATH?

1. Pour a warm water on the bathtub. (Avoid very hot water, which dehydrates the skin)

2. When the tub is halfway full, pluck the petals from a bouquet of roses - (organic is best to avoid pesticides that may irritate your skin) - under the running water. Let the stream of water disperse them, while infusing the bath with the roses.'

3. Pour coconut milk or lavender (or both) under the running water to elevate the experience. (Coconut milk softens your skin and lavender deepens your relaxation)
