Floral Waters or Plant Waters, are products derived from the steam distillation of plants, herbs, and flowers. They are a byproduct of essential oil production and contain trace amounts of essential oils along with water-soluble compounds from the plant. They have a variety of potential skin benefits due to their gentle nature and unique composition.
In general, due to its water-based nature, it provides a safe, gentle option for your skin hydration needs, especially sensitive and dry skin. Many flowers and plants have natural soothing and calming properties that can help reduce redness, inflammation, and irritation on the skin. They can help to balance the skin's natural pH, which is important for maintaining healthy skin and preventing issues like acne or excessive dryness.
They contain antioxidants, which can help protect the skin from free radical damage, potentially slowing down the signs of aging. Some have astringent properties that can help tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of pores. Most can be used as a gentle facial cleanser to remove impurities and excess oil from the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. Due to their plant-based origin, these floral waters may have anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit skin conditions like acne, eczema, or rosacea.
Spritzing your face with floral or plant water can provide a refreshing sensation and help revitalize the skin, especially on hot days, before and after sunbath or during travel. In addition to the skin benefits, inhaling the pleasant aroma can have positive effects on your mood and emotions, promoting relaxation and stress relief.
