So, the order was given to cultivate the roses in Bulgaria, especially in a place called Kazanlak. And guess what? That region became famous all around the world for its beautiful roses!

In the 19th century, rose cultivation in Bulgaria began to flourish. Farmers in the Rose Valley region started to focus on growing roses for the production of rose oil, which became a significant industry.

With time, Bulgarian rose oil became well-known worldwide for its amazing quality and scent. It became highly sought after in the perfume and beauty industries. The roses themselves, called Bulgarian roses, became famous for their beauty and fragrance.

Aicha’s Experience : Why I have chosen Heimish Bulgarian Rose Satin cream  

I have tried two other incredible products from Heimish in the past, the Matcha Biome Hydrogel Eye Patch and the HEIMISH Matcha Biome Amino Acne Cleansing Foam. Since I needed a new cream with a rose fragrance, I chose the Bulgarian Rose Satin Cream from Heimish. The cream claims to work as both a moisturizer for radiant skin and a long-lasting makeup primer.

The most important feature of this cream is that it can be used as a primer before applying makeup, ensuring that your makeup stays on for a long time. This is particularly beneficial in humid climates where excessive sweating can cause makeup to wear off quickly. Heimish has designed this cream not only for skincare purposes but also to serve as a makeup primer.

Additionally, the cream contains AHA, which helps in the turnover of skin cells, resulting in a brightening and glowing effect on the skin.

The fragrance of Bulgarian roses is not only beautiful but also relaxing. Just a small amount of rose water, made from thousands of rose petals, can help reduce stress and make us feel luxurious and indulged. It’s like having a spa day at home!

 I have a super Arabic taste when it comes to fragrance, and for me, the more, the merrier! But don’t worry, the rose fragrance in this product is just right. It’s not too strong or overpowering. After a while, it settles into the background, but it’s still there, reminding you that you’re like a beautiful rose in a world of thorns. It’s a little reminder to embrace your beauty!
