Suggestions on how to use Hydrolats

Male, Female, Skin and Environment, hydrolats are perfect for so many uses and applications

• Skin treatmentsHydrolats make great toners and cleansers and also useful for the treatment of spots or sores, new piercing's, cuts and grazes.  They are powerful yet gentle enough to use on sensitive areas, children and babies and sensitive skin. Tea Tree, Lemon Tea Tree and Lavender would be particularly good for problematic skin and wounds.  For Herpes, Cold Sores / Chickenpox / Shingles use a mixture of Melissa, Tea Tree or any of the Tea Tree family and Chamomile.
• After shaveWhen combined or used alone hydrolats help with shaving rash and the prevention of in-grown hairs. Hydrolats which are particularly good for shaving are Sandalwood, Tea Tree and Lavender.
• Cooling sprayPut in an atomiser and sprayed on the face or body, great to refresh and cool especially when traveling, refrigeration of the hydrolat makes it even more refreshing upon application (especially when stored in our Aluminium bottles).  For hot days Iced Rose and Peppermint are particularly good. For menopausal hot flushes a combination of Rose, Geranium and Lavender work well.  Remember you can blend the hydrolats together to create your own customised skincare products.
• LaundryLaundry can be dampened by neat hydrolat in a pump spray and clothing can be given a light spray before brushing or sponging. This will also make sure germs do not lurk on an item of clothing which may not be worn again for quite some time.  Hydrolats can also be put in the iron diluted or undiluted.
• Colds and FluHydrolats are extremely useful, top up the burner with Tea Tree, Lemon Tea Tree, Honey Myrtle or Rosalina they act as an immuno-stimulant and help breathing and clearing the atmosphere.  They can also be used as sprays.  They are great to use in an office, hospital or work place especially in the cold season and when it’s not possible to use a burner.
• Lotions and creams

Wash your hair as normal and then apply the Rosemary water (about 5ml) and massage into your scalp. Equally hydrolats offer the perfect way to "freshen up" when on the move. Spray Peppermint or Rosemary on to your hair to revive the shine and kill environmental pollution from your hair during the day.
