Pukka Organic Rosewater Review

I've been trying to change all my skincare (and a lot of my makeup) products to natural and organic. There's been a lot written about rosewater and how great it is for the skin...people have been using it for ages. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a 100% pure rosewater. I absolutely love this stuff! I hate toners because no matter how "gentle" they're supposed to be, my skin always feels dry, but this is totally different. I use this morning and night after washing my face (and drying it, of course). Just a few spritzs all over the face and neck and then I use a cotton pad to gently pat my face (not rub). You want to make sure the rosewater is still on the skin. I wasn't crazy about the scent at first...it's quite strong but I've gotten used to it. It feels really refreshing and doesn't dry out the skin like normal toners.  I put on my moisturizer after, and it absorbs much better. I've been using the same bottle for 3 months and it's about to finish. Luckily, I was in London last week and ended up finding a Whole Foods (yay!) and bought another bottle. I would say it's reasonable priced at about £11. This is one product I will keep buying. I used Melvita's Rose Extraordinary Water recently (had a sample bottle) and I didn't like it at all. I found my skin to be much drier after using it. It just shows that you don't need tons of ingredients in a product for it to work.
