Oily skin can be a real pain. We traditionally attribute it to teenage years, but it can also occur in later years. We often don't know how to take care of it effectively, unnecessarily drying it out and creating even bigger problems for ourselves, such as clogged pores, ugly acne, or very irritated, red skin. So how can we effectively treat oily skin with flower waters? We will answer that in today's article, and the key terms will be these magical waters:
Lavender flower water
Mint flower water
White Rose Floral Water
Pine hydrolate
Cypress hydrolate
Laurel flower water
Nettle flower water
Lavender flower water
For oily and problematic skin, lavender water is often used in the world of natural cosmetics. This floral water with a delicate herbal scent and a sweet finish regenerates, nourishes and hydrates all skin types. Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, it soothes irritated skin very well, which it then effectively regenerates. Its restorative function is so strong that it provides relief from sunburn or insect bites. It is a “must have” for every household, especially where we have small children. The motto relaxing lavender bath is absolutely true here!
Mint flower water
Mint flower water has strong antibacterial and antiseptic effects, which we can specifically use for local compresses on inflamed and red acne. Soak a cotton pad with mint water and leave it on for 5-10 minutes, you can repeat it several times a day. Just like lavender water, it relieves insect bites (for example, it worked better for me than lavender for mosquito bites). Mint hydrolate strongly refreshes, energizes and cleanses all skin types. It is a very pleasant mist for oily skin. And for hot summer days, it is simply a perfect thing to have in your handbag.
White Rose Floral Water
White Rose Floral Water is a vibrant positive energy that will embrace you with its enchanting scent. This rare beauty energizes, tones and nourishes all skin types. Because it balances the skin's PH, sebum production and also tightens pores, it is very suitable and popular for oily skin. Combination skin will appreciate it especially in the warmer months of the year.
Hydrosol Scots Pine
If you love the scent of pine forest, then you will be amazed here. The warm woody scent with green undertones will “get” you with this hydrolate. Not only will it refresh and cleanse oily and flabby skin, but problematic skin will also appreciate it for its antiseptic effects. As a bonus, it provides energy during periods of increased stress and after viral illnesses. Again, an evening bath with 2-3 tablespoons of this treasure will kick-start your exhausted body and respiratory tract.
Cypress hydrolate
As an ancient symbol of the immortality of the soul, this mystical hydrolate is full of a warm woody-camphor scent with a delicate citrus finish. It has strong astringent effects, which tightens oily and sagging skin. It supports the circulatory system and improves blood circulation. We can also use it for acne and be careful - also for cellulite, varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
Laurel flower water
Even oily skin with acne needs to be given courage. That's why laurel flower water can help with its antiseptic and antibacterial effects. It tightens pores, cleanses and tones the lymphatic nervous system. It is also wonderful for rinsing hair that gets greasy quickly. Its warm herbal scent lifts our mood and gives us confidence.
Nettle flower water
Finally, we will talk about a typical spring herb that we probably all associate with shampoos for oily hair from childhood. Nettle flower water is a great helper in hair care. It reduces dandruff and hair loss. It gives them strength and volume. You can use it in homemade face masks, for example with green clay. This mask will bring balance to oily and combination skin. If the nettle aroma is too strong for you, do not hesitate to add lavender flower water to it.
Always remember that your skin behaves differently throughout the year due to the climate, psychological state and diet. Try to monitor it and don't be afraid to change individual floral waters. You will see that in the end you will be left with one constant and two to three seasonal helpers.
