Forest Essentials’ Facial Tonic Mist Pure Rose Water

This summer, to give my skin some much needed solace from the scorching Delhi heat, I decided to get the Forest Essentials’ Facial Tonic Mist Pure Rose Water. I’ve always loved visiting the store, driven by its exotic Ayurvedic vibes and the seductive aroma of its various products. And, yes, of course, I was excited to buy what I wanted to, to realize later that it was indeed a good call.

 “The skin requires a gentle boost after cleansing to rehydrate and tone it and prepare it for your nourishing routine. Our pure and active water-based toners are made from floral, fruit and herbal extracts, captured and crystallized at the height of potency, essential to the Ayurvedic philosophy; to hydrate tone and revive the skin. Rose has cooling, soothing and moisturizing properties. It is naturally hydrating. Its seductive floral scent, promotes a feeling of well being and harmony.”

“Rose is amongst the best tonics reported in Ayurveda for their skin benefits. Fresh Roses are steam distilled for the essential oil and the hydrating rose water residue is used for the facial tonic mist.”

“Use as toner after cleansing or to freshen skin during the day.”

Well, my sole reason to buy this tonic product, apart from the obvious benefits mentioned above, was also its size, allowing me to carry it in my bag and use it as a refresher anywhere I go.

The spray bottle is indeed refreshing, hydrating and does leave you with the instant cooling effect without making your skin dry. This is one of my summer favorite, which can also be used as a toner after cleansing the face.

Another thing I love about the product is that it is 100% natural and free from Parabens, Petroleum, GMO, Sulphates, Formaldehyde, PEGS, artificial color, synthetic fragrance and animal testing.  It contains 100% pure, steam distilled rose water.  No wonder I was comfortable paying the high price for the product.

However, there is one thing that puts me off – the aroma of rose water, which is too strong for me! L

Never mind that, I’ll buy the same product in another fragrance the next time. J
