As an adaptogenic botanical, it responds to the needs of dry or oily skin, normal, combination, or sensitive skin. It encourages cellular regeneration which is anti-aging but also helps with healing acne. Anti-inflammatory and cooling, rose geranium is useful for skin conditions where heat and/or redness are present: menopausal hot flashes, rosacea, sunburns, inflammation, rash, or insect bites. It attracts moisture to the skin without encouraging oil production so both oily and dry skin benefit from frequent misting or compresses.
