Rosewater is probably one skincare product that needs no introduction! We all have witnessed our grandmothers and mothers using it for their faces and even mixing it with other ingredients for their favourite daily masks and scrubs to reap the wonderful benefits of rose water. It is safe to say that rose water is one of the first few skincare products that we all began our skincare journey with.
