Review: Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist


Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist* is a bit of a multi-purpose product; it can be used as a toner after cleansing but also as a top up during the day. The spray pump provides a brilliant mist and yes, I mean mist and not squirt-you-in-the-eye spray like some can do!

The mist comes housed in a heavy, frosted glass bottle that means you could, if so inclined, keep it in your handbag to carry around with you and not have to worry about it smashing and leaking all over. I'll be keeping hold of it when I'm finished to re-use as it really is a lovely bottle/spray.

I can't deny that it does what it says on the box - it certainly refreshed and my skin was left much softer. Some days I used it as a toner - sprayed onto a cotton round and swept over the face and others I would mist directly onto my face for a hydrating boost. I can imagine that in the summer months, this mist would be delicious kept in the fridge and sprayed on hot and bothered skin.

I have to say that this is the kind of rose scented product that reminds me of older ladies - it's a strong scent and therefore I would suggest only for the die-hard rose lovers out there as some days it was just too much for me. This is probably down to the fact that it's base is water blended with Rose Centifolia & Rose Damascena essential oils, plus Marshmallow and Rose Flower Extract rather than actual rosewater.

I'm not sure that it would be a product I would use again. While the effects were instant (hello cool, soft skin) the intensity of the fragrance meant that some days I chose to avoid it. Plus, I love mixing up toners as some days my skin has different needs and I tend to have a couple on the go to work with.

You can buy Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist RRP £12.87 for 50ml from Naturisimo.

  1. I sit on the fence when it comes to Jurlique, I'm not entirely comfortable with some of the ingredients they use but it's a few products rather than the whole range. Toning mists are great so I'm always on the look out for new ones to add to my routine :)

  3. Great review, really happy I read this before purchasing as I'm not a fan of rose scented products at all…especially a more mature rose scent I wasn't sure if would be noticeable or not …maybe give this a miss :) xx
