What are the benefits of floral waters ?

Floral waters come from aromatherapy, a medical practice that promotes the use of medicinal plants and essential oils for aesthetic, therapeutic, and/or medicinal purposes. Whether for the skin, face, or hair, floral waters are known for their many benefits, some of them unexpected. While rose water and cornflower water are the most popular floral waters, know that they are not the only ones with excellent properties, and that a floral water should be chosen according to your skin type and needs. With this article, we’ll help you find the floral water that suits your skin, your needs, and your preferences.

Floral water for the body: lavender and orange blossom floral water

The body needs hydration, as it is often exposed to the sun, outside aggressions, burns, or irritation. Floral water is therefore ideal for soothing skin pain: it helps relieve burns and irritation while promoting skin regeneration. By choosing floral water, you give your skin a second life: for the body, floral waters with lavender or orange blossom are the way to go. They are especially recommended for dry, sensitive, irritated, or sunburned skin. They are ideal after the damage caused by sunburn, as they help regenerate skin cells: floral waters therefore work deeply, not only on the epidermis but also on the dermis, which is the inner layer of the skin. For a deep regenerating effect, use circular motions to help the floral water penetrate to the heart of the dermis.

Floral water for hair: chamomile and sage floral water

Hair needs care just like skin: it too is affected by external aggressions that make it break more easily. Floral waters can help restore vitality, shine, and radiance. Chamomile floral water is excellent for hair: it brings new life to dullest hair and is ideal for reviving blonde hair with greenish tones. For oily hair issues, you can use sage floral water, which helps regulate the sebum produced by the scalp: it also helps combat hair loss.

Floral water for the face: rose floral water

The face is certainly the part of the body that needs the most care: it is very sensitive to aggressions, and it is one of the parts of the body most exposed to the sun, after the scalp. For the face, floral waters can be extremely effective, especially for removing impurities and deeply hydrating the skin. Rose water is the most suitable floral water for the face: gentle and non-irritating, it is ideal for removing makeup and getting rid of cream and lotion residue, as well as pollution buildup throughout the day.

For combination to oily skin, or for skin suffering from acne, rosacea, or eczema, rose floral water is excellent and helps significantly reduce inflammation, burns, irritation, and itching.

For dry and sensitive skin, floral waters of cornflower, chamomile, or linden are perfectly suited. With soothing and hydrating properties, they reduce itching and redness.

Chamomile is an excellent ingredient for dry skin: used against tightness and external aggressors, it helps the skin regain all its softness and balance. Terre de Mars offers you the Rédemption Mask enriched with chamomile, aloe vera and caffeine: this sumptuous blend will give your face a sensational glow.

Floral water is highly effective for combination, oily, dry, and normal skin.

Floral waters not only help soothe and regenerate the skin and scalp naturally, but they also have the advantage of being suitable for different kinds of skin conditions.
