It cleanses and softens the skin, preventing the accumulation of all kinds of impurities. Rosemary hydrolat is also very valuable for hair care, as it is a traditional remedy used to stop hair loss and for dandruff.

In cosmetics, rosemary hydrolat is used as:

as a tonic, astringent and skin cleanser;
a hair care product that can help with hair loss and dandruff;

Rosemary hydrolat is an indispensable ingredient in tonics and lotions, and is particularly suitable for mixing with clay in masks for oily, dirty and combination skin.

Therefore, rosemary hydrolat is highly recommended by specialists for those who lack energy, have difficulty concentrating and remembering things. For teenagers affected by acne.

Usage

Natural facial care is unthinkable without hydrolates. They are sprayed on the skin as soothers, tonics or moisturisers. We use hydrolats in the production of ALL our creams, emulsions and shampoos instead of plain water. Using hydrolates for skin care:

as a tonic – spritz on the face and allow to dry, do not wipe off; spray on the skin as soon as you feel it needs it: please your face at least a few times a day if you are in air-conditioned rooms, on hot summer days, after sunbathing; allow to soak in and dry by itself.
as a moisturiser – spritz your face and apply cream or oil without waiting for it to dry;
as a cleanser – wash your face with the hydrolat in the morning, especially if your skin is sensitive to tap water. Spray liberally over the face, wiping with a wet tampon (does not remove make-up); spritz over the face to complete the make-up removal procedure; allow to dry naturally to allow the skin to soak up the plant's wonderful bioactive compounds.
