What is a floral water or hydrosol?
Floral waters, also known as hydrosols, are products obtained by steam distillation of aromatic plants. This process extracts the plant's active ingredients and produces two substances: the essential oil and the hydrosol. Unlike essential oils, hydrosols are much gentler and can be used directly on the skin without dilution. Their composition, rich in aromatic molecules, makes them particularly beneficial for a range of skin care products.
Take care of your skin naturally with floral waters
Floral waters offer a multitude of benefits for the skin thanks to their natural properties. They are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be used to soothe, tone and moisturise the skin. For example, Damask Rose hydrosol is renowned for its moisturising and anti-ageing properties, while Lavender hydrosol is appreciated for its soothing and purifying properties. Using floral waters allows you to enjoy the benefits of plants in a gentle and effective way, while avoiding the chemicals found in many conventional cosmetics.
How do I use a floral water or hydrosol on a daily basis?
Floral waters are extremely versatile and can be easily incorporated into your daily beauty routine:
Facial toner: Apply a floral water such as Geranium bourbon hydrosol or Hamamelis hydrosol after cleansing your face to tone and prepare the skin to receive your moisturising treatments.
Refreshing spray: Use Peppermint hydrosol spray to refresh and revitalise your skin throughout the day, especially in the warmer months.
Soothing aftershave: Hydrosols like Lavender hydrosol can be used after shaving to soothe irritation and redness.
Hair care: Incorporate floral waters like Rosemary hydrosol into your hair routine to tone the scalp and add shine.
Among the products offered by Aroma Zone, you can find a wide range of hydrosols adapted to each specific need. For example, Ciste ladanifère hydrosol is excellent for mature skin thanks to its astringent and regenerative properties, while Jasmin eau aromatique is ideal for adding a touch of softness and fragrance to your daily skincare routine.
By including floral waters in your daily skincare routine, you can take advantage of a natural, gentle approach to maintaining the health and beauty of your skin.
