Strong anti-inflammatory properties and soothes irritations and redness in skin. Used as toner because of this.

1. collect your petals (about 4 flowers worth) make sure to choose roses that are edible + free from pesticides. Dog rose would be a great foraged rose for this too.
2. Make sure your roses are free from dust or insects, I checked them over and gave them a rinse.
3. add the petals to a pan and add enough water to cover the petals.
4. Put a small bowl inside the pan (this will collect your rosewater).
5. Now place a bowl/the lid on your pan upside down. You need to make sure there is a tiny gap between the dish and lid so that your rosewater condenses on the lid and can be caught in your bowl.
6. Bring to a simmer and add ice cubes to your lid. When the rosewater steam hits the lid of the pan it will then condense and be caught in your bowl!
7. You’ll need to add more ice cubes as it’s simmering, the whole process should take about 30 minutes
