Astringents are often touted as alchemy, ideal for dead-skin-cell-shedding, skin-cleansing and pore-shrinking. Unfortunately, far too many chemical-laden astringents only exacerbate skin conditions. Even some all-natural astringents (think: witch hazel, apple cider vinegar) are often far too harsh and drying. Luckily, rose water is mother nature’s solution. It’s mild astringent properties actually make it quintessential for your daily cleanse.

Insta Naturals’ spray is all rose water and no fillers. It’s gathered through a delicate process of steeping and then steaming organic rose petals in distilled water. This process helps keep the roses’ hydrosol properties (soothing, hydrating and revitalizing) intact. Rose water is also naturally rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

Insta Naturals is Florida-based and born. Every major skin type and condition (from hyperpigmentation to the occasional blemish) has a curated section on their website—making for stressless and quick shopping. Their products are formulated without parabens, sls/sles, mineral oil, formaldehyde releasers, synthetic dyes and unsafe preservatives.

How to Use It:  Grab a cotton pad and saturate it with your rose water spray. Use upward circular motions when gently rubbing the pad across your face. Follow up with a serum or moisturizer. 

What I Love About It: Organic. Single-Ingredient. Mild (earthy) scent and refreshingly non-sticky. This spray has it all. It also comes in an upcyclable glass bottle. 

Good-To-Knows:  Occasionally, the rose water comes out is less-misty and more spritz-sprayed. The spray can be a bit too strong for something like setting make up.

Ingredients: Rose Water
