Re: rose water/gulab e arq
I use rose water all over, all the time. I put it in a spray bottle and in the summer periodically spray it all over my exposed skin when outside (and at home) to cool down. I have used it to rinse my hair, wash my face, in lieu of chewing gum. I also dilute thick, heavy night creams with the rose water and have used them during the day. I love "misting" it on my body and face after a shower and during the summer.
It is also used in Arab sweets a lot I think.
Re: rose water/gulab e arq
does this rose water have a funky smell? like perhaps a roo-afza kinda smeel?
Re: rose water/gulab e arq
Does rose water expires? I have a bottle sitting from atleast 2-3 years, can I still use the same one?
Re: rose water/gulab e arq
Yes, it has a little bit funky smell but if you put lemon then will go away.
Re: rose water/gulab e arq
Rose water smells like rooh afza..

Re: rose water/gulab e arq
