Organic 100% Pure Rosewater



I am always on the lookout for new skin care items. I love to get whole lines of items because they are meant to be used together. When you mix and match you don't know that the items will work together or if you will have breakouts or other problems because of one thing having a reaction to the other.

I like this line because it is easy to use and they all do what they are supposed to do. Today I am here to tell you about the Rosewater which I use like a toner after I cleanse my face but before my serum and moisturizer. You can also use this one your face during the day to hydrate your skin. This even works well on your hair, think fly away hair with a spritz of this and you are good to go.

Here you can also see the Vitamin C cream which works well and comes with my favorite kind of pump. Easy to use and looks great on my vanity. A nice cream that goes on easily and effortlessly blending in the skin quickly.

You can find the Joyal Beauty products on Amazon.


What Joyal Beauty has to say about their Rosewater.

This luxurious 100% pure rosewater is steam distilled from Rosa Damascena, which is recognized as a unique type of rose with different properties from roses cultivated elsewhere and is widely considered as the finest in the world.
The Rose Valley in Bulgaria is the best area that provides just the right conditions to grow this incredible rose. The blossoms are collected by hand. Rose oil comes in two main types, Rose Absolute and Rose Otto. Rose Absolute is produced by solvent extraction. Rose Otto sometimes called attar of roses, it has been used since ancient times. It is the more expensive of the two types of rose because it usually extracted by gentle steam distillation  from Rosa Damascena. Rose Otto Hydrosol is more pure and provides more benefits to skin compared with Rose Absolute. What distinguishes Rose Absolute from Rose Otto is that Rose Absolute is not considered to be a “true” essential oil as it has undergone a chemical extraction process and therefore is an “absolute”; Rose Otto is an essential oil as it has been extracted through steam distillation. The trace amounts of chemical residue may be found in Rose Absolute which can lead to increased chance of skin irritation. A rose blossom contains only about 0.02% essential oil. Solvent extraction gives a greater yield than distillation which is why Rose Absolute is less expensive than Rose essential oil.  Rose Absolute has a stronger, richer aroma. Rose Bulgaria essential oil is lighter in color and has a softer more refined aroma. 
Rosewater is basically a by-product of rose oil through distillation of pure fresh rose petals. Rosewater possesses the sweet, delicate scent of the roses from which it is made. It is a natural mild antiseptic and is recommended for acne and skin irritation, for nourishing and hydrating the skin and face, and for nourishing the body after a shower or bath. Rosewater can be used on its own as a soothing toner and cleanser or combined with other ingredients. It’s worth buying the best quality pure rose water you can find and ensuring that it has no added ingredients such as preservatives.
The 100% pure Bulgarian Rose Otto Hydrosol is widely considered as the best rosewater in the world.

Melatonin Strawberry Gummies MaritzMayer Laboratories



My 13 years old daughter who is always full of energy has a hard time getting to sleep, she hasn't really taken a real nap since she was 10 months old. Sometimes she crashes after going a week or so without enough sleep but other then that she is pretty much full of energy and sass.

When she was 12 I finally broke down and asked the Dr. if there was anything that I could give here that was safe to help her get to sleep and he suggest Melatonin. We started out with the pills that you have to swallow which were ok, but she likes these strawberry gummy chews from MaritzMayer Laboratories much better.

The only time we have sleep issues now is if we run out of them and this bottle is getting to the bottom fast so I better reorder soon. You get 60 gummies and it suggests to take 2 gummies about a half our before bed.

Remind them that it may look like candy but only the person who is to take them can have them.
