The efficacy and usage of hydrosol Hydrosol is a magic weapon for skin hydration

Hydrosol is not unfamiliar to ladies who love beauty, but many people mistakenly believe that hydrosol can hydrate and moisturize. In fact, this is wrong. Hydrating and moisturizing have different meanings. Let’s take a look at the effects and usage of hydrosol.

The efficacy and usage of hydrosol

Essential oils and hydrosols are both products of the secondary metabolism of aromatic plants. In aromatherapy, hydrosols and essential oils come from the same source, and hydrosols bring together the energy of the water element of aromatic plants.

Misunderstandings of Hydrosol Application

1. Regarding the “no essential oil” hydrosol:

It can be said that compared with the value of essential oils, hydrosol is definitely a by-product of the essential oil extraction process. Basically, there is only one possibility for producing hydrosol without essential oil, that is, plant varieties with a very low oil yield, such as roses. Sometimes the amount of essential oil is so small that it is impossible to separate the oil and water, that is to say, no essential oil can be extracted at all, so the only product of the distillation process is hydrosol. This is related to many factors such as plant variety, planting method, region, picking time, extraction process, etc., and only a very small number of plant varieties with extremely high essential oil prices have this situation. The most prominent example is: rose. Some people feel that rose hydrosol is not as gentle as lavender, Roman chamomile and other hydrosols, which may be related to this problem.

2. About saturated hydrosol

Strictly speaking, this problem does not exist at all. As long as it is real pure dew, it is saturated. There is only one unsaturated situation, that is, the pure dew is artificially diluted for various purposes.

3. About the "hydration" and "moisturizing" of pure dew:

Although the words "hydrating" and "moisturizing" are almost linked together in all cosmetic advertisements, they are two fundamentally different words. "Hydration" is to add moisture to the skin, while "moisturizing" is to maintain the moisture contained in the skin. For pure dew, the hydrating effect is far greater than moisturizing, because the various artificially blended waters sold on the market contain a large amount of artificial moisturizers, such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, etc., so their moisturizing effect will be greatly enhanced. However, natural hydrosols should not be used alone in dry areas or dry seasons without any other moisturizing products. If you like all-natural skin care, it is necessary to use base oil or compound oil to moisturize the skin immediately after using hydrosol to replenish the skin with sufficient moisture.
