The properies of rose and lavendar are already mentioned, but I just wanted to add to it. Rosewater is used like a toner to remove any excess cleanser that you wiped off the face or to use almost like a light cleaner to remove any surface dirt on the skin. Most have some glycerine in it.

Glycerine is a natural humectant, which pulls moisture from the air. So when you put on their moisturizer it absorbes it better. Think of it like a dry sponge. A damp sponge soaks up moisture quicker than a completely dried up sponge. The skin will hold the moisture quicker. Then when you put foundation on the skin it goes on better.
