But did you know that rose water, in addition to brightening, can also be used to shrink pores and control oil. An Instagram user @diidii_winfleur has proven it directly through one of the videos uploaded.
"Ice rose water is so good for the face. I intended to brighten my face and make it fresh in the morning, but instead the oil on my face decreased. It's so good. I've used it 2X and I can see the results," she wrote, quoted by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @diidii_winfleur on Friday (30/5).

Using frozen rose water is one of the practical and effective home skincare tricks. The method is quite easy, pour the rose water into a small ziplock plastic or ice cube mold, then smooth it out and store it in the freezer until it freezes. Once frozen, cut the rose water into small pieces so that it can be used once and remains hygienic. Store the other pieces in the freezer to be used the next day.

Every morning or night, take a piece of rose water ice and gently rub it on your cleansed face. Rub it in a circular motion on oily areas such as your forehead, nose, and chin. The cold sensation of the ice cube will help soothe your skin while accelerating the absorption of the active ingredients in rose water, such as antioxidants and vitamin C. After your face feels fresher, let it sit for a while and then continue with your regular skincare routine such as serum or moisturizer.

The benefits of using rose water ice are very diverse. The cold effect of ice can naturally help shrink the appearance of pores and tighten the skin instantly. In addition, rose water itself has the ability to control excess oil production and relieve redness or inflammation on the face. As a result, the skin looks smoother, fresher, and brighter naturally without the need for expensive treatments.
Regular use 1-2 times a day can provide optimal results in a few weeks. In addition, because it comes from natural ingredients and without additional chemicals, this method is considered safe for sensitive skin. However, make sure not to rub the ice for too long in one spot so that the skin does not become irritated by extreme cold temperatures. With this simple method, you can care for your skin while enjoying the sensation of a spa at home with satisfying results.
