Rosewater a.k.a. gulab jal is a heavenly elixir that can magically transform your skin and hair. We can proudly say that our mothers have been ardent believers in anything rose-infused. And no, not because they love the delicate fragrance of roses, but because they are the solution to most of our beauty woes. FYI, roses are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which work synergistically to reduce pigmentation and dullness and give your skin a brighter, cleaner appearance.
We’ve used everything in the form of petals, rose water, or oil. The amount of vitamins, minerals and anti-inflammatory properties present in this flower is a blessing on Earth. Today, we’re here to serve you some home remedies made using rose petal powder.
