I've made homemade rose water and added it to aloe vera gel and use it for makeup remover and a facial toner. I love it!

I love watching things like this. I live in Alaska. Some people forage wild rose petals, and make jelly out of them. Wild rose jelly is super delicate, but so delicious!

I just tried this and OMG it's dreamy! I feel like I had a part of a spa day...I'm going to spoil myself much more now. I can do spa days like my friends due to my nut allergy...but wowsers, who needs one when you can make better and healthier products yourself? I put my homemade face cream on(it's a private recipe from a friend that I can't share, sorry) after this face wash and going to see my family for the first time in months...what a blessing to find this.

Thank you so much, I just found you. Love you simple safe face cleansing and many more helpful uses. Lv your product. Hopefully you have more videos.

I have rose bushes from the previous owners of our home. I transplanted them to a different place in the yard, as we needed something to keep the water away from the area they were originally planted in, and I thought they would die. Three years later, I have the rose bushes I moved, and they came back in their original location. So I am happy to find a good use and some good information on them.

I'm excited to try this.
I have 2 questions: 1.how do I know if it's gone bad? 2. What do you do with the hips? Do you make the rose hip seed oil or purchase it?

[valeriewillimann]

Thank you for this lovely recipe 🌹I sure will try it since I have such a great smelling sort of rose and now I now what I can do with it 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️

[TheLeisamarie]

A friend gifted me a rugosa rose last fall, I am excited to try this!

[Wendybil]

I have my own honey and roses, I went and got rose hip seed oil and organic rolled oats today and can't wait for the petals to dry in the oven so I can put this together and use it! Thanks!

[biachiking]

Omg you're such a great teacher. Thank you!

[kflan]

Thanks for the recipe. I have 'maturing skin' and am interested in trying this. I am putting out feelers for old fashioned roses and Rose Mountain Herbs had their rose hip oil on sale.

[anastasiaromanova]

Thank you Carolyn. Would you please share more about how it can help

[victoriamariataib]

thank you for the recipe. from now on i would like making my own facewash

[giselsilva]

My mom used to make a delicious homemade rose petal jam. I've never eaten a jam so rich, subtly aromatic and tasty as the one she made. Sadly I don't have a recipe. Have you ever tried to make one? I remember she used in her recipe the petals of red roses, not other color.

[slcsparkle]

Your skin is beautiful, would love more skin care videos! God bless you all.

[justme-uwbz]

That just sounds a delicious product and so easy.

[kyliebrooks]

A wonderful tutorial as always. I so enjoy watching all your videos. So uplifting.
I was wondering what other non-gluten grain I could use instead of oats or wheat (I have celiac disease and can’t use gluten grains, also sensitive to wheat in general)

[farnaz]

Amazing video!!!! By the way, my Damask rose petals feel soft after drying for 2-3 days in room temperature. I used a fan to dry them but still they are soft and not crispy. I am so tired of trying more. Please give me some thoughts. I would really appreciate it.

[ccinndierella]

That's nice! Thank You! I once had homemade rose petal jam. I love the flavor! But that recipe had corn syrup in it. And I have not seen or tried any recipe since without that ingredient.

[mjrewerts]

This sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to try your recipe with the rose petals I just dried. 👍🏼
