Mix ½ cup of rose petals with a handful of mint and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This bath helps remove excess oil. (If you find lemon juice irritating, as some people do, you can substitute it with white vinegar).
Anti-Inflammatory Face Mask: Mix mashed rose petals with sandalwood powder, adding a little rosewater and a tablespoon of honey so it can be combined into a paste. Then apply it to the face and neck, treating it like a mask. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes, and rinse with cool water. You can also replace the honey with turmeric if you want the mask to help remove dead skin cells, reduce discoloration, and brighten the skin.
Mix the rose petals with besan, also known as gram flour or chickpea flour, yogurt, and rose water to make a thick paste. Like all other masks, apply to the face. Then, let dry and rinse with milk, following the milk with cold water.
