I first discovered rose water at the age of 20, as the beauty assistant at a leading publication. Upon first try as a face mist, I was hooked. No stickiness, simple hydration, not a sign of irritation on my skin and just a happy feeling all around. Soon enough, I realised I could use it as a mist to prime my skin before makeup or before using a heavy-duty face mask, I can spray it on my eyes to get rid of dryness thanks to frequent lens wear and even use it as a deodorant when I find myself in a tough spot (more on that later). It's been almost 10 years since my first tryst with the product and there's not been a single day that I don't have at least one bottle on my shelf and one in my travel beauty kit because it is a saviour of all kinds and works in all weather conditions. I spoke to two skin experts about their views on the humble floral water that benefits skin in a myriad of ways. Here's what they had to say.
