If you’ve been experiencing redness after using Lalas Rose Water, it might be that your skin is having a slight reaction. Although rose water is generally quite soothing due to its anti-inflammatory properties, everyone’s skin is unique and can react differently, especially if there’s an existing sensitivity or if the product is mixed with other skincare items that might not complement each other well. Consider whether you might’ve applied it on skin that was already irritated or cracked, which can increase chances of such reactions.
Rose water is traditionally used to balance the Pitta dosha, cooling and calming the skin and mind. The refreshing sensation you’ve described aligns with its known benefits. However, using it twice daily might be too much if you’re experiencing irritation. Try reducing application to once per day, preferably at night to allow skin to calm down, and test isolating it by forgoing other products briefly to see if those might be exacerbating the issue.
About the long-term benefits, rose water is known to gradually improve hydration and texture by maintaining the skin’s pH balance. It should ideally support Kapha and Vata skin types, helping with dullness and dryness. If used correctly, without over-layering with multiple other products, you should notice improvements over time. Make sure it’s pure rose water without added fragrances or alcohol, which can be irritants.
If redness persists or worsens, consulting a dermatologist or healthcare provider is important to rule out allergies or other conditions. They might suggest alternatives or ways to incorporate rose water that suits your skin’s specific needs. A personalized approach based on your prakriti (body constitution) and specific skin needs will be most beneficial in the long run.
