PerfumesFresh makes an amazing rose water toner that I actually just bought the other day and absolutely love :-) it is so wonderful and refreshing to spray on my face everyday. And they claim that with regular use it improves the quality of your skin and the way it looks. http://www.fresh.com/skincare/toner/ros … oral-water

It is very aromatic and is purely rose scented. It would have a mix of water and other ingredients to keep it preserved. Something that could be prepared at home too, but not worth the effort when you could get that readily available.
Perfumesi have experienced rose water in Persian, Pakistani, Indian & Lebanese cooking and it is beautiful...smells lovely & gives a fragrant flavor to lassi (indian/pakistani yogurt drink) & mahalabia (lebanese dessert)
i wonder if you can draw a rose water bath...how splendid! img/smilies/hjarta.gif
Naheed, can it also be called gulab paani? (that was my guess..) nice to hear its Urdu translation!
Rosewater lassi's are divine!
PerfumesCrabtree & Evelyn practically built an entire business on rosewater soap, lotion, and fragrance. I have supplied my mom with their body lotion and soap for decades. I also like C & E's Summer Hill collection and their jojoba products.
PerfumesRosewater is so great as an alcohol-free toner, particularly for sensitive or mature skin. Its even good for babie´s diaper rash. There is a medieval rose-cream dessert which is really delicious! I had it in Estonia once.
Any spanish-speakers are sure to love my beauty blog, come take a look!

There are two types of rose water, the first has been already mentioned: The distillation of rose petals which you can do at home.
The second one is also called a hydrosol and is the by-product from the making of the rose (morrocan or bulgarian) essential oil. This one has the same properties as the essential oil, it is just less concentrated and can be used directly on the skin.
PerfumesOh, and I discovered also Orange Blossom Water ( bought at the same store , but this one comes from Lebanon I think). It is so fragrant and wonderful on skin, amazing.
PerfumesMmmmm!!! I love rosewater and anything scented with that smell!
I tried Turkish Delight in rose flavour: a sweet bomb!
I use Molinard Rose Water everyday after cleansing instead of toners because it is just pure rosewater, refreshing, soothing and not so full of chemicals like regular toners.
PerfumesIt's wonderful... can be used as a toner, eye drops like naheed said, and it's also good for healing wounds since it's antiseptic. Perfect for sensitive skin!
I've used it as a toner! It's awesome. I actually want some to perfume myself with I miss that smell. The rose notes in perfumes don't please me anywhere near like rose water does.
Perfumesis the one that goes closer to the smell of rosewater IMO.
I use Molinard pure rose water as a toner and also on cotton pads for swollen eyes. In that case I keep it in the fridge.
PerfumesI just recently discovered this thread and it inspired me to seek out a bottle of Rosewater at a local Mediterranean market in my town. I found a 300ml bottle of Cortas brand Rosewater from Lebanon and I'm very pleased! I used this as a face toner by pouring some into a small spritz bottle...lovely! Thanks for the inspiration and info everyone! 
PerfumesRose water is a very nice thing..It has lots of use..One can apply it on face directly or with mixing in something like face mask and face pack..You can also put few drops of it in eyes,it will clear your eyes and remove all dusts from it..It smells good..You can add it in anything which you eat like in cake,in sweets or other,it improves taste..
PerfumesI often add a few drops of it in my vanilla yogourt!
I have to try it with ice cream and saffron! yum
PerfumesRahat loukom (my favorite)! Make a little batch of that ! Sprinkle some of the rosewater on your brush, right before you pass it through your hair. It's actually a good manager (astringent, but oiled) and it leaves a wonderful scent behind.
I've used a cheap grocery store rosewater as a toner, for years. If it's distilled, you can mix it in with a water-based lotion.
PerfumesThere is also orange flowers' water, similar with rosewater but made from orange flowers., you can buy it from lebanese or moroccan stores.
It smells divine, of neroli and orange blossom and it is very fragrant. I find it slightly better than the rose version and I always add a dab of it when I make pancakes or fig preserves. It gives many desserts a wonderful neroli flavour.
Just a question please..... what are fig preserves?
Perfumes:s18:thank you that looks so yummy
PerfumesI've been using an organic hydrosol version of rosewater from Bulgarian roses. Alteya is the brand. I use it on my face as a toner/refresher, especially in summer. It is very soothing for sensitive facial skin. Misting it on hair seems to help refresh dry hair. I like to decant some into a little mister bottle to spray on my face after a gym workout. I haven't cooked with it. Maybe it would be nice in some kind of iced herbal tea this summer.
PerfumesYou can use rose water for toner on yur face. Take a cotton dip in the rose water close your eyes, keep it on your eyes for 10mins. Tips from cosmopolitan magazine.

confiture
figs are very sweet and they loose their aroma when cooked, so adding orange blossom water and some orange peel makes the confiture very flavored and yummy !
I love fig jam
