Rose water is one of the all-time best and most traditional facial
cleansers, because rose is astringent, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic,
and has a lovely scent.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup rose-infused water
2 teaspoons glycerin
5 to 10 drops rose essential oil
Place a handful of dried rose petals in a mason jar, cover with boiling water, seal, and let set overnight. Note that dried rose petals are available in many health food stores (as is vegetable glycerin), or online from herbal supply stores.
After the rose petal infusion has set overnight, strain. Combine the ingredients in a pretty jar, and shake to blend. Note that you will extend the shelf life if you add 1/2 a teaspoon of grapefruit seed extract (available in health food stores). The antiseptic quality of essential oils will also act as a preservative.

thanks for sharing
Thank you
These days, I went for the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my four 12 months old daughter and reported "You can hear the ocean if you place this in your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside of and it pinched her ear. She certainly not wishes to go back! LoL I do know that is totally off topic but I had to inform a person!

Thanks for the article.
Nothing more romantic than rose pedals in your rose water scented bath, with candles lit. The only difference is my favorite flower is Gardenia and so I will do this with the petals of Gardenia and same scented candles
Thank you--this looks easiest enough even for me.
easy, thanks!
