Rose tea can be a soothing and aromatic addition to your self-care routine. Here are some ways you can use rose tea for self-care:
Relaxing Bath: Brew a strong pot of rose tea and add it to your bathwater for a relaxing and fragrant soak. The scent of roses can help calm your mind and promote relaxation.
Facial Steam: Add brewed rose tea to a bowl of hot water and use it for a facial steam. The steam can help open up your pores and hydrate your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed. You can create a facial steam blend. Some other botanicals that mix well with rose are dandelion, mint, wild violet, lavender, chamomile, hibiscus, and green tea.
Hair Rinse: Use cooled rose tea as a final rinse after shampooing your hair. The natural oils in rose petals can help condition your hair and leave it smelling lovely.
Eye Compress: Soak cotton pads in cooled rose tea and place them over your eyes for a soothing eye compress. This can help reduce puffiness and refresh tired eyes.
Scented Spray: Pour brewed and cooled rose tea into a spray bottle and use it as a natural room or linen spray. The delicate scent of roses can help create a calming atmosphere. You can also use it as a body spray, hair conditioner spray, or facial toner.
Drinking Tea: Of course, one of the most common ways to use rose tea is to drink it. Rose tea is often enjoyed for its calming properties and delicate flavor. You can drink it hot or cold, depending on your preference.
