1. Why can hydrosols not contain preservatives?
Before talking about the efficacy, consumers who may have a little bit of common sense will definitely ask, what is the preservative of 100% pure gel without preservatives? Let’s take the distance of the ingredients in Rose Hydrosol. Damascus Rose Hydrosol rose essential oil contains more than 200 known ingredients, mainly composed of terpenoids, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ethers and other compounds. These ingredients They are also present in trace amounts in Rose Pure Lotion. In addition, the Pure Lotion also contains water-soluble organic acids and flavonoids that are not in essential oils. In addition to water, the main ingredients of Rose Pure Lotion are listed in descending order: phenethyl alcohol, ethanol, citronellol, linalool, ethyl acetate, etc. The highest content of phenylethyl alcohol accounts for 70% of the total ingredients except water. It has a typical rose fragrance and has a good antibacterial effect. Of course, the antibacterial ingredients in the pure dew are not only phenylethyl alcohol, but also many kinds.
Simple summary: Hydrosols are weakly acidic. Different varieties have PH values from 4 to 7 points. The acidic environment is naturally antibacterial and contains a variety of antibacterial ingredients from natural plants, so it can rely on its own ingredients for antiseptic .
However, because the composition and content of the water-soluble aroma factors in different types of hydrosols are different, the shelf life of different hydrosols is also different, ranging from 12-24 months on average. In theory, the higher the content of water-soluble aromatic molecules , The stronger the antibacterial property.
2. Can a facial mask be applied to Hydrosol? Does it need to be diluted?
Pure and good quality hydrosol is the best material for applying facial mask. Because it does not contain the additives that are common in general masks, especially the irritating ingredients, the allergy rate will be lower. The frequency of application can also be higher than that of common masks. You can apply it for 15 minutes a day for the first week, and then 3-4 times a week. For more sensitive skin, when applying pure dew in the first week, it is recommended to dilute 1-2 times with pure drinking water before applying. If the skin is very suitable for pure dew, there is no need to dilute at all, so that the skin can absorb more of the active ingredients. .
3. Is hydrosol allergic?
Since it does not contain artificial additives, the allergy rate is much lower than that of general lotion. But there are exceptions to everything. Hydrosol is a natural herbal skin care lotion, but it is not allergic to natural things. There is also the possibility of allergies. The natural nutrients in the hydrosol are very small, but they are large and complex, and individual allergies are not excluded. Therefore, it is recommended to test for allergies when using it for the first time.
4. Can different hydrosols be mixed?
Can be mixed. However, it is not recommended to mix the entire bottle, because the shelf life of the mixed hydrosol will be shortened. It is recommended to use a 30 ml small bottle and use it as soon as possible after mixing.
It is generally possible to mix 2 or 3 kinds of pure dew. The common rose-mixed lavender, rose-mixed chamomile, and lavender-mixed tea tree are all possible for novices. The simplest 1:1 ratio is not wrong.
I like to pursue patterns and uses, and I suggest to refer to some professional aromatherapy and hydrosol books, how to match the varieties and proportions according to different skin requirements.
5. Can Hydrosol be taken orally?
For oral hydrosols, it is recommended to use organic hydrosols. Generally, domestic hydrosols are difficult to be truly organic. It is recommended to buy some high-end imported organic hydrosols. After all, be cautious when entering your mouth. It can be drunk as plant flower tea, usually 10-15ml pure dew mixed water, the ratio of pure dew to water is one to twenty (5ml pure dew per 100ml water), the temperature of the water should not exceed 65 degrees, and it is recommended to take it frequently. The pure dew is rose pure dew.
6. Which effects of Hydrosol are exaggerated?
Careful netizens may find that when talking about the effects of hydrosols, they did not specifically mention the most common moisturizing and whitening in the skin care concept.
Replenishing moisture and lasting moisturizing are two completely different concepts! Pure dew has no special highlights in terms of locking in moisture and preventing moisture from evaporating. It is OK as an instant replenishment of moisture to increase the moisture content of the skin. Attention is instant, but the pure dew does not contain moisturizers (note that moisturizers are artificially added) Ingredients are not natural ingredients. Pure natural gels cannot contain moisturizers. The absence of moisturizers means that the newly replenished moisture cannot stay on the skin for a long time, and will be lost and evaporated. Therefore, many people have been brainwashed by the propaganda. The superstition that pure dew moisturizes well is a misunderstanding. The correct statement is that pure dew moisturizing is really good, but it is not responsible for moisturizing. Only essences, lotions or creams contain moisturizers. The stuff can lock the moisture and lasting moisturizing. Therefore, after using hydrosol to add a lot of moisture to the skin, be sure to use cream or lotion in time so that the moisture of hydrosol can stay in the skin!
Let's talk about whitening. In fact, whitening is a long-term process, very difficult. To give a very popular example, a highly active whitening essence that integrates a variety of whitening ingredients, to whiten a little, requires at least 28 days of skin metabolism. Is it difficult? For pure dew and whitening, light spray is not enough. We must stick to the wet compress. After the stratum corneum is full of moisture, the complexion will naturally brighten.
Let’s talk about the effects that other hydrosols can’t do. To put it simply, high-concentration essences are also difficult to achieve, such as removing freckles, acne pits, and wrinkles. These basically rely on medical beauty. Play a supporting effect.
7. How to understand the production date of Hydrosol? Buy fresh hydrosol or mature hydrosol?
Answer: Most of the annual production of pure dew is concentrated in the flowering season, such as rose pure dew. Roses bloom in April and May each year, so most of the rose pure dew is distilled during the rose harvest season (about 5- July), so the pure dew that you buy is often not just out of the factory. This is like a crop, one season a year, you don’t have to deliberately pursue freshness. Most of the pure dew that has just been produced has the most unpleasant taste in spring, which may be caused by the more aggressive plant taste. Generally, it will mature slowly after two to three months, enter the stabilizer, and the taste characteristics will become mellow.
8. Adding hyaluronic acid when using hydrosol can really enhance the effect?
Answer: Yes, hyaluronic acid is a moisturizing ingredient extracted from natural organisms. It is added to different degrees in the finished mask sheet, which has the effect of enhancing moisturizing. Many DIY mm will be in the bubble paper film or the pure lotion that replaces the toner Add hyaluronic acid to enhance moisturizing effect. Regardless of whether it is added or not, it is recommended to use lotion or cream after hydrosol, so that the moisture can be completely locked.
9. What is the shelf life of Hydrosol? How to save?
The shelf life of hydrosols varies with different varieties. The best use period for most hydrosols is within 1-2 years. It must be stored in a cool place, away from light and heat. The ideal dimension of pure dew storage is 10-15 degrees. It can be stored in a refrigerator in summer and in a greenhouse in other seasons.
10. Can Hydrosol be used every day?
Answer: Hydrosol is very mild and can be used every day. It can be used as a toner, as a water film, or as a spray in a small spray bottle.
11. How to use Hydrosol for sensitive skin?
Pure dew is a pure natural plant distilled product, without any artificial ingredients, for sensitive skin to condition and remove red blood, chamomile pure dew is the first choice. It can be diluted with water at the first use, and can be used directly after getting used to it. Other sensitive agents include orange blossom hydrosol.
12. Who should not use Hydrosol?
The following people are not recommended to use pure dew, and basically do not accept the actual shortcomings of pure dew:
1. The taste of pure dew is unacceptable. A few pure dews such as rose pure dew and orange blossom pure dew are scented. Most of the pure dews taste sour, astringent, or even smelly, and are pure without fragrance. Lu itself is this taste, and it is unnecessary if it is unacceptable.
2. Those who can't accept the batch difference will add to their own suspicions. Regarding batch differences, as mentioned above, hydrosol is a natural distillation product, not a unified production line operation. It is greatly affected by natural conditions. First of all, there are batch differences in the smell. The same bottle of hydrosol should be stored for the time Different odors will also change. Generally, pure dew will taste a lot more pleasing after being placed for about 3 months after distillation and after the aging period.
If you want to try pure dew, you need to choose a reliable brand in this mixed market, a reliable pure dew instead of general lotion, or a wet mask, as a part of daily basic skin care is completely competent of.
