Roses are one of my favorite flowers. My grandma had a rose garden in the back patio of her house, and she hung dried rose petals in each of the bathrooms. I used to get really excited whenever she would tend to her roses since their petals were so big and fragrant.
The use of rose water toner as part of a routine skincare routine is a good approach to relax and soothe the skin.Rose toner has a calming effect on the skin and helps to reduce inflammation, which in turn lessens the visibility of scars. Additionally, it maintains a pH balance in our skin. Rose water toner is loaded with antioxidants which help to strengthen cells and boost skin regeneration. This organic skin smoother will also help your face glow, giving it a natural, bright appearance.
Benefits of Rose Water for Skin
Roses have been used for ages to calm and soothe the heart. Energetically they are very effective medicine for nourishing the spirit. Roses give us an opportunity to see our true beauty by balancing our emotions. For a troubled heart roses are the way to go. Each time I spray this rose toner on my face I am instantly grounded and at peace. Rose water toner helps me stay heart centered and soothes frayed nerves after a particularly busy or stressful day.
I’ve been purchasing rosewater toner for years and since I started making my own last summer I haven’t looked back. Most purchased hydrosols smell old because they have such a short shelf life. Hydrosol is the name of the process that is used to stem distill more fragile plant material. When you steam fresh roses at home the water lasts longer, especially if you add in some organic witch hazel. Some recipes call for vodka to preserve the water but I prefer to use witch hazel as it is very gentle on the skin.

How To Make Rose Water Toner at Home
There are many ways to make rose water toner. You can simply add a few drops of essential rose oil to distilled water or make a ‘sun rose petal tea’ by placing the petals in a bowl of water and letting it steep in the sun for hours. This can be a really nice practice on the summer solstice. Given that it is winter I went with a simmering method.
Because this rosewater is so fresh I suggest keeping it in the fridge. If you add the witch hazel it will last a couple of weeks. Rose water toner makes amazing gifts too! I love surprising friends with a bottle. Also please note that the simmering method will make your water brown as it takes the color from the water. If making a gift I suggest bottling in a blue or brown bottle.
Use the toner after you wash your face or anytime you need to ground in and relax. When I’m home I use it multiple times a day. Oh and bonus, you can totally use this rose water (minus the oils and witch hazel) in other recipes. Even a simple rose petal tea can be delicious and healing.

Be sure to use organic, untreated roses. They can be challenging to find but it’s important so you’re not creating a water full of chemicals. I got mine from a nice neighbor.
ROSE WATER TONER
Ingredients + Materials
- 6 organic roses, stems removed
- Distilled water
- Organic Witch Hazel
- Rose Essential Oil
- Glass spray bottle
Method
Separate the rose petals and place in a medium pot. Pour the distilled water over the roses just to cover them. Too much water will give you a very diluted rose water. Use a lid that fits inside the pot to gently press the petals down and keep them in the water. Cover the pot with a lid and turn on the heat to low. Simmer on the lowest possible setting until the petals have lost their color. Remove from heat and strain the water. Allow to cool on the counter. Mix in 1-2 tsp. of witch hazel and add a few drops of rose otto oil until desired scent is achieved. Pour rose water into spray bottle and keep in the fridge. It will last 2 weeks.
