Cloves are a potent natural skincare ingredient, rich in antioxidants and antibacterial properties that help combat acne, control oil, tighten skin, and slow aging signs. Here’s a simple DIY routine with five treatments featuring cloves:
-
Clove Toner Spray: Boil cloves in water, then add tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, and optional rose water. Spray twice daily to fight acne, shrink pores, and tighten skin. Store in the fridge for 5–7 days.
-
Clove Gel: Mix clove powder with aloe vera, tea tree oil, and optional vitamin E. Apply nightly to reduce inflammation, calm breakouts, and fade dark spots. Use every other day for sensitive skin.
-
Clove & Mint Ice Cubes: Freeze boiled clove and mint water into cubes. Glide over clean skin each morning to hydrate, reduce puffiness, tighten pores, and add glow.
-
Clove Oil: Infuse crushed cloves in coconut or jojoba oil, strain, then massage a few drops into skin at night. It boosts collagen, softens lines, and brightens skin.
-
Night Serum: Combine clove toner, aloe vera gel, tea tree oil, and clove oil. Apply before bed for overnight brightening and smoothing.
Always patch-test and avoid overuse or applying near eyes.
