When I want to fight wrinkles

My testimony

There’s no escaping wrinkles. Over time, skin slackens and loses its tone. No cream or serum can totally erase wrinkles, but you can do what you need to do to delay their appearance and soften them a little when they do occur. That’s what I’m trying to do! I’ve been using rose hydrosol every morning for a few years now. With it, I have a natural anti-wrinkle ally, indispensable for its delicacy, gentle fragrance and proven effectiveness against the marks of time.

My tip

A healthy lifestyle is already a great anti-wrinkle treatment! Proper moisturizing, a balanced diet and not smoking all help to keep skin supple and elastic. And even if the effects of the sun are beneficial, the fact remains that excessive UV rays prematurely age skin tissue.
Rose hydrosol is the ideal solution for reducing fine lines and preventing wrinkles. It is suitable for all skin types. I recommend using pure Damask rose hydrosol on the face every day, after removing make-up. You can apply it with a washable wipe or as a spray. If you prefer a more masculine scent, cistus hydrosol is also ideal. On skin moistened by the hydrolat, apply the skincare product, which can be rosehip vegetable oil alone, rich in fatty acids and anti-oxidants.
Once a week, complete this anti-aging routine with a white clay mask. Be sure to moisturize the clay with rose or rosemary hydrosol.

What does phytotherapy have to say?

Rose hydrosol has been known since ancient times for its bewitching fragrance and its many therapeutic, cosmetic and culinary uses. It is reputed to calm, soothe and rebalance the nerves. Scientific studies (Nat. Prod. Commun. feb. 2009, 4 (2), 291-296; Int. J. Prev. Med., June 29, 2018) have demonstrated soothing effects of applying rose extract to the skin, as well as cognitive, behavioral and psychological improvements in patients suffering from dementia and depression. In cosmetics, it is traditionally recommended for preventing and combating skin ageing. Rose’s antioxidant and wrinkle-preventing properties have been demonstrated (Kalim et al., BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2010, 10, 77). Rose hydrosol also purifies, refreshes and softens the skin. On another note, it perfumes a host of typical Mediterranean dishes and lends its refinement to oriental cuisine.
