Many times what we call “grandma’s remedies” are the richest in our health benefits. How many times have you seen rose water used by your mothers and grandmas? Well, know that the rose is still one of the best allies for the care of our skin, do you want to know why? The rose, especially the centifolia and canine species, is the natural element that can help us more than the others when the hot season arrives. Its soothing properties, give the skin complete hydration, making it soft and velvety, just as if we gave it a whole glass of water to drink. In addition, rose petals help to strengthen the defences of the skin barrier by carrying out a perfect purifying action for any type of skin, from the most sensitive to the oiliest. It is easy to understand how the rose and its extracts are perfect for detoxifying the skin during spring, hydrating it thoroughly in view of the summer season.
