How to Choose the Pure Rose Petals Powder
- The colour of pure rose powder will always be reddish but not deep red nor crimson nor pink.
- The fragrance would never be strong but it would have a subtle fragrance of roses. Anything with synthetic rosey scent is not pure at all nor is safe for the skin.
- Always take a look at the complete ingredient list. If the ingredient contains preservative, colour, or fragrance, it is not pure.
- You can prepare dried rose petals powder easily at home too. But, the quality and the efficacy of the rose powder entirely depends upon the quality of the roses used. If the roses are produced organically, then only the mask would be pure & effective.
Last but not the least, applying just a face mask is not enough for naturally glowing skin. In fact, doing it for once before the big event is not enough too.
