The Rose Facial a February Ritual

February bring with it the sweet ritual of Valentines day, and what is Valentines with out roses?

Rose is such a valuable healer it only makes sense that it plays a key role in Dr Hauschka skincare. You may have used skincare products that contained rose, but there is something remarkable about the rose used in Dr Hauschka skincare. It comes down to the quality of the ingredients. 

It is a very rare skincare line that is willing to splurge on the cost of a high quality rose essential oil. Most essential oils on the market or sold in your local health food store are of an extremely low quality they would not be able to produce any sort of healing, in fact they are dangerous to your health, as toxic solvents are used in their extortion method. Sadly,  many people don't  question the safety or the quality of a product if it's found on the shelf of a store, and sadder still is the lack of knowledge and skill the sales staff in stores have to educate people.  End of my rant! 

 What I am trying to share with you is that it is incredibly rare to find high quality ingredients in skincare, and it absolutely makes a difference on so many levels for our being and our body. In my rose facial I focus on using the numerous products in the Dr Hauschka line that feature the high vibrational rose. 

The rose has been used for a wide variety of effects on humans. It is anti-inflammatory,  hormone
balancing, a aphrodisiac, has an antidepressant effects as well as calming for nerves, and it
promots liver function. For skin it is valuable for its antioxidant, soothing and scar-softening properties and mild astringency. Centuries of research and experience tells us that rose offers a host of benefits while elevating our spirit and consciousness. It has accompanied us on our evolutionary path and serves us as a touchstone for balance.

There is current scientific enthusiasm over one natural component of the rose essential oil: farnesol. Found to support the skin’s ability to balance itself, it helps oily skin become less oily and dry skin less dry. Farnesol is a close cousin to estrogen. Estrogen is the “moisture-making” hormone. Estrogens make sebum less sticky and calm its production. In addition, a recent study showed that rose oil aids in absorption and penetration of ingredients with which it is combined—it opens up the skin to receive what is applied. This supports the idea of the rose having the gesture of opening up and unfolding to reveal the treasures within.
