is dabur rose water is harmful - #25396

Ava

I am dealing with this concern lately, after using dabur rose water for my skin. It started out fine, like, my face felt refreshed and smelled great, but now I've noticed some redness and a bit of irritation, and it's got me worried. I really thought it was just a nice natural product, but now I'm seriously questioning if dabur rose water is harmful? I mean, I have sensitive skin, and my friend swears by it, so I thought it was safe! I even checked the ingredients, but I'm not, like, super versed in this stuff. I had a patch test before using it completely, and it seemed okay at first. I don’t want to overreact or anything, but I can't help thinking maybe it doesn't mix well with other products I’ve been using. Anyone else have experience with dabur rose water causing problems? I just need to know if I should stop using it or maybe try something else that's less risky.

You've noticed redness and irritation after using Dabur rose water, even though it seemed fine initially, and you're right to question its suitability for your sensitive skin. Rose water itself is generally considered safe and is often used for its soothing properties; however, anything can potentially cause irritation or allergy, especially if your skin is sensitive. Dabur rose water contains rose extract and water, but some complaint about preservatives like parabens in some products, which might not always align with sensitive skin. Sensitive skin can react not only to particular ingredients but also due to interactions between products. For example, if you're using other active skincare ingredients, like acids or retinols, they may cause the rose water to irritate your skin further. Your patch test might initially have seemed okay, sometimes reactions need time to develop over repeated use as you've experienced. It’s worth considering a break from the rose water and any other potentially irritating products to isolate the cause of the irritation. When trying new skincare, always best combined with minimal interfering ingredients. Switch temporarily to gentle, soothing products with minimal ingredients—consider natural aloe vera gel or chamomile water as alternatives, both known for their calming effects and generally well-tolerated. Also, Ayurveda suggests balancing pitta dosha when dealing with skin redness and irritation, as excess pitta can manifest as heat-related skin issues. Diet can contribute, so you might explore cooling foods like cucumbers and coconut water, while avoiding spicy or oily foods. If the irritation persists despite stopping Dabur rose water, you should consult with a dermatologist. It's also recommended to review all skincare product and streamline into routine of minimalism that favors gentle, non-reactive formulas designed for sensitive skin.
