Review: Jane Iredale Smell the Roses Hydration Spray

ReJane Iredale Smell the rose hydration spray review

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jane Iredale introduces this limited edition hydration spray Jane Iredale Smell the Roses Hydration Spray. This spray was developed exclusively for Living Beyond Breast Cancer, which receives 100% of profits from sales. <–Love that!

This facial spray contains organic Rose Damascena Flower Water which is an excellent skin tonic. The spray cleanses the skin without disturbing its natural protective shield. The advertised benefits are:

  • Rose Damascena Flower Oil and Extracts penetrate into deep layers of the skin. They nourish, tighten, cleanse, detoxify, increase blood circulation, calm and support the skin’s functions.
  • Recommended for any skin type, especially dry and sensitive skin. Calms and soothes skin while reducing redness.
  • Rose fragrance is refreshing and uplifting. It de-stresses and provides an overall feeling of well-being.

I received this press sample a few weeks ago and I’ve been using it ever since. The spray has a light, not overpowering rose fragrance. For me the spray is wonderful to use in the morning, it helps to wake me up. It’s so light when applied and it dried without leaving any sticky residue. In general I used it after washing me face without needing any additional moisturizer but if you have dry skin you may want to still use a moisturizer as this is lightly hydrating. I have oily skin so I found this spray quite balancing all by itself. Sometimes I sprayed it on throughout the day as a pick me up because the scent is uplifting, especially when you’re  feeling exhausted. I can see myself traveling with this spray, especially when flying to feel more wake when I’m jetlagged.

I absolutely love that Jane Iredale is cruelty free, it make me feel better that using a product that is not tested on animals. And the fact that this company uses natural and organic ingredients in also a huge plus. Below you can see recognize every ingredient in this spray which makes me feel safer about using it.

One of my favorite products from the Fall 2015 collection is  the Jane Iredale Smooth Affair for Oily Skin Facial Primers & Brightener. This primer works so well for creating a smooth, matte and even skin tone. I even wear it without any foundation because it makes me look more awake and my skin looks much clearer!
