Make 100% pure rose water at home using rose petals; achieve flawless, glowing skin.
Rose water has been used for skin care for centuries. It not only cools the skin, but also helps in maintaining the natural moisture of the face, cleaning the pores and giving a fresh look to the skin. Preservatives, artificial fragrances and chemicals are added to many rose waters available in the market. In such a situation, if you want 100% pure and natural rose water, then you can easily prepare it at home.
Rose water made from fresh and chemical-free rose petals can be safer and more effective for your skin. Let us know the easy method of making it, its benefits and the correct way to use it.

Easy method to make rose water
- Clean rose petals
First of all, wash the petals thoroughly with cold water to remove dust and dirt.
- Add petals to the pot
Now place the petals in a steel vessel and add enough water that they are just submerged.
- Cook on low flame
Cover the vessel and heat it on low flame for 20–30 minutes. Instead of boiling the water, let it warm slightly.
- Wait until the color changes
When the color of the petals becomes light and the water acquires a pink glow, then turn off the gas.
- Cool and filter
Let the mixture cool completely. After this, filter it through muslin cloth or fine filter.
- Fill in the bottle
Fill the prepared rose water in a clean glass spray bottle and keep it in the refrigerator.
For how many days does it remain safe?
If there are no preservatives added, homemade rose water can usually stay safe in the refrigerator for about 5 to 7 days. Its quality remains better if it is prepared in a clean bottle and in a hygienic manner.
