It not only hydrates your skin from the inside out, it also has anti-aging properties (2). Rose water is also full of vitamin C (as is the lime in this recipe) which not only protects your skin against free radicals, but also fights against colds and flu.
If you’ve heard before about using rose water directly on your skin, now you know that it works its magic from the inside as well.
Apart from the benefits to your skin, rose water has calming effects, which makes it a great before-bed drink.
