This is the time of year my dry complexion can overreact. My skin tends to become drier and more easily irritated. Therefore, I often change face soaps and cleansing products because they may be too drying or irritate my skin. If want to save money over a more expensive face wash and need a gentle homemade rose face wash that pampers as well as disinfect skin in how it cleans, then you want to try my recipe.
The more of those product labels you read, the harder it can become deciphering a huge list of ingredients that are usually printed entirely too small for eyes to read. These ingredients usually have long chemical names that require time and research to understand what inside that product. For example, an ingredient called sodium hydroxide (caustic soda and soda lye) can cause the skin pain and burns even up to 36 hours later. This is just one example of what type of ingredient could be lurking in your skin care. For this reason, creating a DIY cleanser like my homemade rose face wash can protect to keep our complexions beautiful.
Regardless of your skin type, you’ll also appreciate how soothing and calming my homemade rose face wash is. It feels so good, but also helps with inflammation, heals, disinfects, and lubricates the skin so wonderfully through a few choice ingredients.
To begin with, rose water is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial while helping the skin lock in moisture like the dew on a rose. Honey is a humectant to lock in moisture as well. This ingredient is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Sweet almond oil has plenty of fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins of E and A for help smoothing, softening, protecting, and healing skin. Roman chamomile essential oil has components that can help cell regeneration. It also is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory while having an amazing apple type scent. Last of all, I add some liquid Castile soap, which helps give the recipe some nourishing foam from its beneficial storehouse of fatty acids, especially large reserves of lauric acid for a healthy, smooth complexion.
I hope that when you want to do something nice for your face and give my recipe a try. I really think that you will love what it does for your skin.
Homemade Rose Face Wash Recipe
½ cups of rose water
3 tablespoons of liquid Castile soap
1 teaspoon of honey
3/4 teaspoon of sweet almond oil (jojoba oil for oily skin)
3 drops of Roman chamomile essential oil or (bergamot for oily skin) optional
Mix all the ingredients except for the soap and essential oils until the honey is liquified with everything.
Store in a clean pump or squirt bottle.
Add a little into your hands or washcloth to wash your face with. Rinse with warm water and then close your pores with cool, not cold water.
Before your next use, give your homemade rose face wash a shake. This helps redistribute the ingredients.
Thank you for this “recipe” I really need something like this in the winter as my skin is so fragile.
This sounds good but what is rose water?

Rose water is like a nourishing toner for the face that hydrates and refreshes the skin through the day. Some toners tend to be too drying on the skin unlike rose water. Even if the skin is oily, you can spray it over makeup to revive your look. I use rose water all the time because of that beautiful dewiness it gives my complexion.
My daughter purchases Rose Face Washes often. I will show her that she can make this herself!
This sounds really nice and pampering. Thanks Mary!
