Pour in enough distilled water to just cover the petals.
Heat gently until the water begins to simmer, then turn off heat.
Let the mixture cool completely.
Strain out the petals.
Pour the rose water into a clean glass container or spray bottle.
Notes
This recipe creates a natural rose water that can be used as a gentle facial toner, face mist, or skin refresher.You can use it as-is or dilute it with distilled water for a lighter toner.For a simple toner, dilute with distilled water at a ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.For best results, store in the refrigerator and use within 1–2 weeks.Essential oil versions are not the same as traditional rose water and require proper mixing (such as a solubilizer) to be used safely on skin.
