Rose water has many beauty benefits and the best  thing about it is it suits all skin types. I include rose water in my beauty regime as a toner and love it for its aromatherapy. Here are five ways to use rose water.
As a toner: The cheapest toner out there. Ive already mentioned that I use gulab jal as a toner. it worked better than my lotus herbals toner especially in smell department.
For Under eyes: Rose water helps reduce dark circles and puffiness to a great extent. Refrigerate rose water and dip cotton balls in cold rose water and gently dab under eyes.
For hair care: Rose water can be used to wash hair as it acts as a natural conditioner and leaves hair with a mild fragrance.
As a cleanser: Rose water acts as natural cleanser removing dirt from face and tightening pores at the same time.
As a face freshener: Spray rose water on face to instantly feel fresh and add glow . This is especially helpful in summer.

So, to sum it up, Rose water is a boon from every angle!

Review: Lotus Herbals Basiltone Toner

I have dry skin but I don’t follow the toning routine religiously and when I do tone occasionally it is with rose water. when I spotted this basiltone toner I was tempted to try it solely for its packaging. The spray dispenser, I Like Love.

Price: Rs 185 for 100 ml
This toner is for combination and oily skin types but it not dry out my dry skin and just two pumps was enough to cover my face and neck. Most of the times I don’t use cotton I spray this toner directly on my face and feel refreshed , but I hate the vegetablish smell which goes away after some time. I so miss my gulab jal which has lovely fragrance.
All that aside this light green toner does remove dirt and gives a fresh sensation after sparying it  but it  does nothing for my pores

The Pluses:
  • Packaging, sturdy and travel friendly.
  • affordable
  • Easily available
  • Alcohol free
The minuses:
  • The fragrance, I hate it
  • contains parabeans , not a problem for me though
  • Does noting for the pores
Verdict: Overall I think this is a good value for money Toner for Oily or  combination skinned beauties. Girls with dry skin should avoid it, otherwise fabulous travel friendly toner.
