Rose water is an antibacterial. This means that it fights off bacteria that could lead to infections. Using rose water for face and body care can prevent wounds such as burns and cuts becoming infected and it can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars when used in high concentrations.

Contains Anti-Ageing Properties

Rose water is used in a lot of beauty products because of its ability to reduce the signs of ageing. When applied to an area, rose water plumps the skin and improves the appearance of wrinkles. Rose water also tightens the skin, meaning that your skin looks firmer and more radiant. A lot of people use rose water for face care for this exact reason. Try our NIVEA Rose Care Moisturising Gel Cream for intense 48H hydration, elegant fragrance and anti-ageing ingredients. It works great as part of your daily routine.

Hydrates Skin

Among everything else, rose water is a great hydrator. Because of its gentle and soothing nature, it does a great job at protecting your skin from becoming dry and damaged. Hydrated skin helps to fight off skin conditions and provides a radiant and healthy-looking glow. Rose water for face care is particularly effective, especially when it comes to sensitive skin like your lips. Our NIVEA Soft Rose Caring Lip Balm keeps your lips moisturised for 24H, whilst enhancing their natural rosiness, to give you that wonderful soft lip feeling.

    3. Make Up Remover

    A lot of makeup removers use harsh chemicals and alcohol, which can cause skin to become dehydrated. This is particularly problematic for people who already suffer from sensitive skin. Rose water as a makeup remover offers a more natural and gentle approach to removing makeup. The soothing properties of rose water helps to keep your skin hydrated  with the added bonus of a rose scent. The NIVEA MicellAIR Rose Water 2 In 1 Cleanser & Toner removes makeup without needing any harsh rubbing or rinsing - perfect for sensitive skin.
