Roses have numerous benefits to our skin and I have a simple diy to show you how to make a makeup setting spray to set your makeup to last  longer, and a toner to soothe & tone your skin. Don't throw your roses this Valentine's Day....

Benefits Of Rose Water;

• Helps to hydrate & moisturize your skin.
• It's perfect for sensitive cause it's natural.
• It helps to tone the skin.
• It has anti-aging properties.
• It's a great cleanser as it helps to remove dirt from your skin
• Helps to reduce redness caused by scars.

How To Make Rose Water;

• You'll need .....

1. Water
2. Rose petals (you can fresh or dried roses)
3. Strainer
4. Spray bottle

In a pot, add water & a few rose petals and let the infusion boil until the colour of the water changes according to the roses you used. Let the infusion cool, strain then put it in a spray bottle. Please store this infusion in the fridge cause it's 100% water & we have not used a preservative. To avoid wastage make small batches of the infusion.

HOW I MAINTAIN MY FAUX LOCS

I hope you are all doing great. This year I want to do a lot of protective styling, I have faux locs in this photo, but I still make sure I take care of my protected hair.

Here's a simple routine that I follow;
I wash my scalp after three weeks with a conditioning shampoo, I don't follow up with a conditioner/deep conditioner cause the shampoo is super moisturizing. I rinse the hair with warm water & then I do a fermented rice water rinse(I'm doing a 3 month challenge then I'll post my results). Rinse again with warm water & dry my hair with a t-shirt. Then I apply my oil mixture. If during the week I feel that my scalp is dry, I moisturize with a mix of warm water & oils  and I always sleep with a satin bonnet.

Are you into protective styling? What is your favourite style? Wigs? Faux locs? Braids?
