Make sure you look at the ingredients and only buy pure rose water. Some have excessive additives such as alcohol and synthetic fragrance. While rose water has hardly any side effects, it can irritate the skin if it's not pure.
I spray rose water on my face at night after I cleanse and before I moisturize. I just spray a few times then immediately put on my moisturizer so it locks the rose water into my skin. I also keep a bottle in my desk drawer at the office. Whenever I need a little pick me up, I spritz some on my face. Below is the one is use. I transfer it into a glass spray bottle. The best part is its under $5!
