Cleanse Your Skin With Almond And Rosemary Water

Cleaning our skin every day is just as important as moisturizing it with the right products. Cleansing the skin on your face helps you remove dirt, makeup and dead cells that make the glow and color of the skin dull. In this article you can find out how to cleanse your skin naturally with almond and rosemary water.

Almonds

To understand why almonds are so beneficial for our skin, we need to look at the popularity of the oil. Almond oil stands out as one of the most nutritious and economical moisturizers out there.

There are many other oils that have become fashionable, but they are often more expensive. However, almond oil is a basic item that many people still use today. The most important property of almonds is their emollient properties. This means their ability to moisturize the skin and make it softer. They also stand out for their soothing properties. This means that they are very suitable for irritated skin, eczema or skin problems related to stress.

We suggest that you use raw almonds to cleanse your skin. In this way, the mixture you make will also contain the nutrients of the almonds, even those that have not been processed. Using raw almonds will also allow you to give your skin a gentle scrub to cleanse it in depth.

Rosemary

It is likely that you have heard some older women talk about rosemary water as a means of maintaining the beauty of their skin tone. We should all have rosemary oil in our bathroom cabinet, both because of its simplicity and efficiency.

Rosemary is rich in minerals (magnesium, zinc, iron), essential fatty acids and vitamins B and C. The latter is a strong antioxidant and collagen enhancer, which makes our skin firm and smooth.

Furthermore , this wonderful remedy enhances the skin’s natural moisture thanks to its circulatory properties. The result is a radiant and nourished skin tone that is not too shiny.

This herb is also a powerful anti-aging product, thanks to the vitamin C and fatty acids it contains, which cleanses the face thoroughly and minimizes scars from acne.

We can use rosemary as a cleanser and as a tonic, prepared as a concentrated infusion. Alternatively, you can use rosemary oil, but then you have to dilute it.

A natural cleanser for the skin with almond and rosemary water

Ingredients

• ½ cup raw, ground almonds (50 g)
• 5 tbsp. rosemary leaves, fresh or dried (50 g)

• 1 glass of water (200 ml)

Here’s how to do it

• First you need to prepare the rosemary water. To do this, boil the water and add the rosemary leaves. Let them cook for one minute if they are dry, or for 5 minutes if they are healthy.
• Turn off the heat, cover the pan and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes.
• Strain the infusion, and when it is still hot, mix it with the ground almonds little by little. You should try to get a thick, creamy mass so that it does not drip.
• Store this mass in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of ten days.

Application

That said, almond and rosemary water have a fairly thick texture that you can apply very easily, as if it were a moisturizing facial scrub.

Here’s all you need to do:

• Moisten your face with lukewarm water.
• Take some of the cleanser (the size of a hazelnut), and mix it with a little water in your hand to make it more liquid.
• Use it all over the face and massage well with your fingertips for one minute, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin).
• Rinse the mixture with warm or cold water and dry your face well.
• If you want, you can use a face tonic and moisturizer suitable for your skin type. A tonic can be rosemary water without any other ingredients.
• You can cleanse your face with this homemade product the night before you go to bed. If you have oily skin or acne, you can also use it in the morning when you wake up.
• You can use this scrub anywhere on your body where you want to cleanse, hydrate and soothe, such as areas with blemishes, eczema, psoriasis or dry skin.
