Combining rose with dulse in skincare can offer various benefits. Both ingredients have properties that can be beneficial for the skin. Rose is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and hydrate the skin. It also has a pleasant fragrance that can provide a calming effect. On the other hand, dulse is rich in minerals, vitamins, and peptides that can contribute to skin hydration, firmness, and overall skin health. When combined, rose and dulse can create a potent skincare formulation that may help in moisturizing, soothing, and rejuvenating the skin. Additionally, the combination of these natural ingredients can provide a refreshing and aromatic experience, making it a desirable choice for this Dulse and Rose Vitamin C Serum.
Ingredients
2 cups distilled water
1/4 cup dulse flakes
1/4 cup rose hips
1 tablespoon orange peel powder
2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
Method
1.In a small saucepan, combine water, dulse flakes, rose hips, and orange powder. Simmer the mixture over low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Skim off any foam that appears on the surface. Once the mixture is reduced by half, remove it from the heat.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Initially, it may appear muddy. Dispose of the residue in the sieve, then wash and rinse the sieve thoroughly. Line the sieve with several layers of muslin and filter the mixture for a second time to obtain a more translucent liquid, approximately measuring 1/4 cup. Add aloe, hydrosol, and vegetable glycerine to the cooled liquid and mix thoroughly.
3. Once the mixture has cooled, use a small funnel to pour it into a sterilised spray bottle. Store any unused bottles in the refrigerator until needed.
