When I want to fight against wrinkles

My Testimony

Wrinkles, there’s no escaping them. Over time, the skin loosens and loses its tone. No cream or serum completely erases wrinkles, but we can however do what’s necessary to delay their appearance and somewhat lessen them when they are present. That’s what I try to do! For several years now, I have been using rose hydrosol every morning. With it, I have a natural anti-wrinkle ally, essential for its delicacy, its sweet scent, and its recognized effectiveness against the marks of time.

My Tip

A healthy lifestyle is already a very good anti-wrinkle care! Proper hydration, a balanced diet, not smoking, preserve the flexibility and elasticity of the skin. And even if the effects of the sun are beneficial, it remains that excess UV rays prematurely age the skin tissue.
Everyone will find in rose hydrosol an ideal solution to lessen fine lines or prevent the appearance of wrinkles. This is suitable for all skin types. I advise using pure Damask rose hydrosol daily on the face, after having removed makeup. You can apply it with a washable wipe or by spraying. If you prefer a more masculine scent, cistus hydrosol is also perfectly suitable. On the skin moistened by the hydrosol, apply the treatment, which can be only rosehip vegetable oil, rich in fatty acids and antioxidants.
Once a week, this anti-aging routine will be complemented by a white clay mask. Be sure to hydrate the clay with rose or rosemary hydrosol.

What does phytotherapy say?

Rose hydrosol has been known since antiquity for its enchanting scent and its multiple uses, therapeutic, cosmetic, or culinary. It is reputed to be calming, soothing, and nerve-balancing. Scientific studies (Nat. Prod. Commun., Feb. 2009, 4 (2), 291-296; Int. J. Prev. Med., June 29, 2018) have demonstrated the soothing effects of rose extract application on the skin as well as cognitive, behavioral, and psychological improvements in patients suffering from dementia and depression. In cosmetics, it is traditionally recommended to prevent and fight against skin aging. The antioxidant properties and wrinkle prevention of the rose have been demonstrated (Kalim et al., BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2010, 10, 77). In addition, rose hydrosol purifies, refreshes, and softens the skin. In another register, it perfumes a host of typical dishes from the Mediterranean rim and brings refinement to oriental cuisine.
