Rose essential oil. Rose oil - royal face, body, hair care

Since ancient times, the amazing rose flower has been called the queen of the flower world for its extraordinary beauty and exquisite delicate aroma. Essential oil, very valuable for cosmetology, is prepared from the petals of this flower, helping to maintain the freshness of the skin and its natural beauty. Rose oil for facial skin is very widely used in cosmetology. It is actively used in the production of industrial cosmetics, in beauty salons for procedures. It is also used in home cosmetics.

Features of rose oil

Natural rose oil is obtained by conventional steam distillation, using fresh rose petals as raw materials. As a result of processing, a special liquid with a rose aroma is obtained, which has a rather viscous consistency and a light color, characterized by transparency.

When processing rose petals, a very multicomponent composition is obtained, and the product itself is divided into parts: solid and liquid. At the same time, the solid part of the oil has no smell, and the liquid component has a pronounced pleasant aroma of roses.

The solid part of natural rose oil can separate from the liquid even at normal room temperature, as well as when the product is placed in a cool place, precipitating. This process is considered normal and natural. To mix the two components of rose oil, it is recommended to warm it up a little before use. However, it is important to remember that rose oil cannot be overheated, otherwise many valuable components will quickly evaporate from it.

Contrary to popular belief, rose oil is not pink at all. If a liquid of a pleasant pink color is offered in retail chains, this indicates an unnatural oil or the addition of dyes to its composition. In fact, the color of natural oil is greenish or yellow with a greenish tinge.

Many people believe that the petals of any rose flowers, including ordinary garden ones, are suitable for preparing rose cosmetic oil for the face. In fact, this is not at all the case, and for the production of this essential oil, special roses are planted in whole plantations, which are cared for by a large number of workers throughout the year. In most cases, wild and tea roses, as well as varieties such as Stolistnaya, Damascus and Gallic, are planted to obtain valuable oil. Rose plantations need special care and special feeding on a regular basis.

Rose petals are harvested immediately after opening the buds, after which they are sent for processing, which is a multi-level step process, which results in a very small amount of valuable essential substance. As a rule, about half a liter of rose oil is obtained from 10 kg of fresh rose petals.

The effect of rose oil on the skin

When used correctly, rose essential oil allows you to:

Effectively rejuvenate the skin, providing an active stimulating effect on regeneration processes. In addition, the components of the oil are able to activate the processes of natural synthesis of collagen fibers, as a result of which the skin becomes not only younger, but also more elastic, toned and smooth.
Tighten the skin, strengthening the contours and oval of the face, making them clearer.
Quickly reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process, eliminate skin irritation, so it is recommended to use rose oil in the care of sensitive and problem skin.
Refresh and tone the skin, as rose oil can quickly eliminate signs of fatigue.
Cleanse the skin not only from external impurities, but also from various toxins that poison and pollute the cells from the inside. The oil perfectly eliminates acne, relieves the skin of blackheads and comedones.

Also, natural rose oil helps to cope with other cosmetic skin defects, for example, it can quickly eliminate spider veins, age spots, peeling of the epidermis, acne marks and scars. Also, rose oil does an excellent job with dark circles under the eyes and swelling of tissues in this area.

Precautions when using rose oil for the face

Of course, rose oil is a product in which all active ingredients are contained in a very high concentration, just like other essential oils. Therefore, it can be used in skin care only in small quantities, adding a few drops of the substance to a variety of cosmetic products to enrich them with valuable elements. At the same time, oil can be added not only to ready-made cosmetic industrial products, but also preparations prepared at home.

The use of rose oil on the face can provoke an allergic reaction, therefore, before using any composition containing this product, it is necessary to conduct a standard test to determine possible sensitivity by applying a small amount of the substance to the skin of the skin of the inside of the elbow or wrist. An important point is that the result of such a test should be evaluated within a day. If during this time there is no negative reaction, then rose oil can be used for cosmetic purposes.

In addition, another important point must be taken into account. Rose oil for skin care should not be used by those whose body is sensitive to sharp and pronounced odors and does not tolerate them well. The use of oil is also contraindicated during the period of bearing a baby, as well as when breastfeeding a baby. It is not recommended to use it in the presence of problems with the vessels, as well as in case of pressure instability (both with hypertension and hypotension).

Application rules

To maximize the effect of home cosmetic procedures, you must follow some rules for the use of rose oil, in particular:

Rose oil should not be heated to a temperature above 36 - 38 degrees, as in this case, the destruction of many valuable substances begins in it, which quickly evaporate, reducing the effectiveness of the product. For this reason, essential oil should not be added to hot masks or other cosmetic blends. If one of the mask products requires heating to a higher temperature, then rose oil should be added at the end of mixing the composition, when its temperature drops to the required value.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage of rose oil in cosmetics. Do not think that the more oil is added to the product, the more effective it will become. Excessive concentration of this substance can harm the skin.
Ready-made masks and creams must be applied exclusively to prepared skin, which should not only be washed with the usual product, but also steamed.
Any mask containing rose oil should remain on the skin for no longer than 20 minutes.
Apply products containing rose oil in order to eliminate any cosmetic defects should be no more than 2 times a week, with an interval of 3-4 days. If the funds are used for preventive purposes and to preserve beauty, then it is enough to apply them once a week.
It is important not to get involved in the use of products with rose oil. Cosmetologists recommend that procedures be carried out in a cycle of 15 sessions, after which it is necessary to take a break.

The number of allergy sufferers is growing every year. According to statistics, every 12th person in Russia suffers from one form or another of the disease. And over the past 15 years, the number of patients has doubled. Increasingly, there are complaints about intolerance to industrial synthetic cosmetics. In such conditions, the need for natural substances for skin care is growing. Of particular interest are herbal ingredients with a refined scent, such as rose essential oil.

In the Christian tradition, the rose is a symbol of joy and the Resurrection of Christ. All peoples of the Earth revere this flower, considering it divine. Essential oil is produced from rose buds of essential oil varieties:

damask;
centifolic;
musky.

In summer, before sunrise, thousands of petals are collected to be turned into oil by water distillation on the same day. The raw material is treated with boiling water or steam in large boilers, then a condensate containing ethers is collected. During processing, a secondary product is also formed, rose water - an aqueous solution of essential oil.

The ancient Persians were the first to receive rose oil. The largest oil producer of our time is Bulgaria. Not far from the town of Kazanlak, at the foot of the Balkan Mountains, the Valley of Roses is comfortably located, protected from the cold and winds. Here fragrant flowers grow and oil is expelled. Every year the Rose Festival takes place in this valley. Romantics and connoisseurs come to the holiday to enjoy the flowers and buy a natural product from a damask rose. Varieties of this variety are also grown in the Crimea and Turkey, so the oils from these places are similar in smell.

The natural essential oil of the royal flower is so highly valued that it is often stored in bank vaults like gold. For example, Bulgarian essential oil costs about 2000 rubles. for 1 year

The chemical composition of the esters of different oilseed varieties is slightly different, but not drastically. The richest fragrance is the damask rose. The petals of this variety contain:

stearopten;
citronellol;
phenylethinol;
geraniol, nerol;
farnesol;

antiseptic;
anti-inflammatory;
boosting immunity;
healing;
emollient;
astringent;
decongestant.

Rose oil improves the hormonal background of women, disinfects and heals the mucous membranes of the vagina. The rose is not in vain considered a female flower. It can even normalize the menstrual cycle.

Rose oil exhibits antispasmodic properties for pains of various localization and origin. With migraines, diluted oil is regularly rubbed into whiskey.

Nuances and features of the application

In its pure form, rose ether is not used, because it is too concentrated a product. There is a high probability of getting a destructive effect instead of a healing one. The oil does not dissolve in water; before use, the product is diluted in base oil, milk, alcohol or honey.

If you come across a product that is too cheap on sale, carefully read the label and instructions. Most often it is not essential, but cosmetic oil. Inside it is not used in any case. In such a product, rose esters are diluted with base oil in a ratio of 1:20 or 1:10.

Some manufacturers dilute rose esters with base unrefined oils:

jojoba;
almonds;
peach or apricot kernels;
avocado;
soy.

There is a type of rose oil that is not suitable for medicinal and cosmetic use. This absolute is a perfume oil obtained by solvent extraction. This option is used exclusively as a perfume. Most often, the absolute is made from the centifolia (centifolia) rose variety.

Ready-made products with rose ether

The product yield after distillation is very small, a bucket of buds is required to obtain one drop. Therefore, finding a natural essential oil is quite difficult. It's even harder to spot a fake. You will need a chromatographic study, which cannot be done at home. It is much easier to buy cosmetic oils, creams, soaps or rose water (hydrolate) with rose oil. It is preferable to buy products from places where essential oil production is located: in the Crimea, Bulgaria, Turkey. Less chance of running into a fake.

An inexpensive derivative of rose oil is rose water, a by-product of the production of the so-called hydrolat. It is rarely faked, it is relatively cheap. In fact, it is an aqueous solution of rose esters, which is additionally enriched with primary rose oil and stabilized with ethyl alcohol. It is this fragrant rose water, and not the oil itself, that women have been using since ancient times to maintain the beauty of their skin.

A set of cosmetics with rose oil from the Bulgarian company Bio Pharm (soap with essential oil, rose water and cream with it) makes it possible to try several products at once

Queen of flowers against insomnia

The most pleasant procedure for sleep disorders is a warm bath. Dilute 4-5 drops of rose oil in milk, honey, salt or carrier oil and pour into your bath. If a large bath is not available, foot baths are also effective. Add 1-2 drops to a bowl of water.

In order for the hypnotic water procedure to work, it is better to use it 2-3 hours before bedtime for 20 minutes. It is desirable that at least an hour has passed after dinner. Too hot water and too long water procedure will invigorate, not soothe. Keep the temperature of the water below 37°C, otherwise sweating will prevent the oil from being absorbed into the skin.

With insomnia, rubbing oils before bedtime helps. Dilute 4-5 drops of ether in 2 tbsp. l. base oil. If desired, prepare a more effective means for massage.

Ingredients:

jojoba base oil - 10 ml;
rose ether - 1 drop;
lavender ether - 3 drops;
ether of Roman chamomile or mint - 2 drops.

Mix oils. Store in an opaque container in a dark place. In the evenings, when you apply the oil, rub the following areas in a circular motion:

earlobes;
whiskey;
legs (feet);
neck (collar area).

If desired, everyone can make a massage mixture, guided by their preferences. Rose oil goes well with oils:

bergamot;
geraniums;
cypress;
chamomile;
tangerine;
patchouli;
myrrh;
rosewood.

Stimulation of ovulation

With ovulation disorders, an unconventional method sometimes helps - rubbing the abdomen with rose ether. However, it is important to do it on time: daily from the 4th to the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. To get a massage agent, dissolve 2 drops of ether in 10 ml of base oil.

This massage works in several directions:

eliminates negative mood, apathy;
improves blood circulation in the pelvic organs;
relieves inflammation of the female organs;
stimulates the maturation of eggs in the ovaries.

aromatherapy

Ancient Chinese texts describe that the soul of plants lives in their fragrance. It is easy to believe in it, having inhaled a noble smell of rose oil.

Aromatization of premises

To liken your state of mind to the beauty of a perfect flower, drip 3-5 drops of ether into the aroma lamp. Without allowing water to boil, aromatize the room for 15–30 minutes. Rose oil ennobles our condition by bringing:

calm;
a good mood;
optimism;
tolerance.

Having inhaled the ethers of the rose, one wants to hold the exhalation and keep the sweet and refined aroma inside. In addition to the floral smell, spicy honey and smoky notes are captured. "True femininity" - this is how the exciting fragrance is briefly characterized. In addition to a mild tonic effect, the rose eliminates nervous tension, depression, and enhances sensuality. A harmonizing effect has been noted for any pathologies of mood. This is probably due to the ability of the queen of flowers to increase concentration. Thanks to the ability to focus on the desired mood and manage to bring it to life. With despondency, the rose inspires vivacity, with neurosis, it calms. No other flower works like this.

For those who want to always “carry” the fragrance of a rose with them, I advise you to purchase an aroma pendant, which is worn as a decoration around the neck. The oil in it evaporates very economically, one drop is enough for 3 days.

From the author: make your shadow white

Bringing beauty is a good thing when this activity does not absorb a person entirely. If external beauty is elevated to the highest value, disappointments are inevitable. We become very vulnerable, allowing our happiness to depend on the presence or absence of cosmetic defects. Measure and balance are important even in self-care.
Ideally beautiful outwardly people of the unit. There are many more people who have a beautiful soul, but an ordinary appearance. This is sad and not fair. In this case, the rose ethers bring out the inner beauty and bring it out. No wonder many describe the effect of rose oil with such poetic words:

the face seems to glow from within;
I see in the mirror the radiance of youth;
I am in a fragrant cloud of harmony and beauty;
inhaling the scent of roses, I am happy and soar.

This is the manifestation of the inner light under the harmonizing influence of the aroma of the rose. There is a balance between internal and external. Beauty is brought out: on the face, body, hair.
How can a rose help if there is no peace and harmony inside? She will make your shadow white, as they say, in the verses of Vyacheslav Butusov. Through rose oil therapy, one can finally understand what true beauty is. After all, it is in a harmonious balance of internal and external. Beauty will be born if it was not there. Ugly thoughts, feelings, actions will go away. Purity illuminates the soul. It will help if it seems that your life is not real: there is no beauty in the soul, no in deeds. For the fullness of life, you need to bring the inner and outer worlds into line. The aroma of a rose will give an impetus in the right direction, help on the path to finding true harmony and happiness. Let roses bloom in your soul.

DIY rose petal oil - video

If you are in love with the scent of rose ether, one day you will want to plant a damask or centifolia rose in your garden. However, this is fraught with disappointment. Essential oil varieties bloom in one wave in June, the remaining summer months have nothing to admire and nothing to smell - the rose does not bloom. As an experienced rose grower, I recommend planting decorative roses of continuous flowering in your garden, for example, the Westerland variety. Three bushes of these roses near the windows will fill the area with a fabulous pink scent throughout the summer season.

Contraindications

Dermatologists are against applying pure essential oil to the skin due to possible irritation. It is better to dilute it before use.

Rose esters are prohibited in case of allergy to a flower and during pregnancy.

Rose oil is obtained using the steam distillation method, using fresh rose petals of various types. You can also use another method for obtaining essential oil, this is solvent extraction. This method is very popular in the Crimea (Crimean rose essential oil).

The finished essential oil has a very complex and multi-component mixture, which consists of two parts, solid and liquid. The solid part (stearopten) is odorless and at room temperature can visibly separate from the oil composition. The liquid part (eleopten) has a transparent consistency and a very strong rose flower aroma.

When the temperature drops, rose essential oil becomes denser, and resembles solid fat in consistency. The color of the essential oil is ambiguous, it can be either pale yellow or with a greenish tint.
