I love roses! There is no other flower with so much charme and beauty, in my opinion. When I’m in the city, I always stop at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich to pick me just one or two pink roses. But roses do not only look pretty, they also make you pretty. How? This is something I’m going to tell you in this blog post.
Beauty Products with Roses
At least once a week, I take some time off just for myself. To get into the right mood, I light a scented candle and make me some green rose tea by Lov Organic while I’m listening “La Vie en Rose“.
A bath with rose bath salt is perfect to calm down and relax. My favourite is a vegan and cruelty free one by Lavera, an organic cosmetic brand.
Afterwards, I peel my face and use the Khadi facial mask with roses. This one is a vegan and organic product, too.The facial mask feels very fresh on the skin and has an anti aging effect. I don’t have wrinkels by now, but I guess prevention is better than aftercare. 😉
To soothe my skin, I apply a bit of rose water by Rosense with the help of a cotton pad on my skin and décolleté. The rose water is actually my favourite beauty product at the moment and an absolut must-have in my opinion. I use it in the morning and evening after cleaning my skin. Beside the soothing effect I also really like the scent.
For the extra portion of care I use a high-quality face and body oil. Mine is by Khadi, organic, and of course with roses. I always massage my face with the oil, what is great for blood circulation. If you think you are going to look like a baby’s botton the whole day if you use a face oil, you are totally wrong. The product soaks in quite quick and is a perfect base for the following makeup.
The perfect DIY Manicure at Home
Now, the skin looks great but my nails don’t. To change this, I use the Dior Abricot Nail Cream for my nails and the Rose of Bulgaria Hydrating Face Cream for my feet and hands. I mean, if something is good for ones face, it should be good for ones hands and feet as well, right? While everything soaks in, I relax on my couch with a cosy dressing gown on while listening to chansons.
As soon as there is no longer a grease layer on my nails, I apply a base coat and let it dry. Then, I apply the nail polish. At the moment, I prefer pink and rosy colours. As a finish, I use a top coat and the nails are done.
After such a treatment to myself I normally stay at home in the evening and watch a movie, read a book, or just relax.
