Cloves are rich in antioxidants and antibacterial properties, making them a natural remedy for skincare. They help fight acne, reduce oil, tighten pores, and slow signs of aging. A complete DIY routine uses cloves in five simple treatments: toner spray, gel, ice cubes, oil, and night serum.
The Clove Toner Spray is made by boiling cloves in water with tea tree oil, aloe vera, and optional rose water. Sprayed twice daily, it “fights acne-causing bacteria, shrinks pores, and tightens the skin.” Keep it refrigerated for up to a week.
The Clove Gel mixes clove powder, aloe vera, and tea tree oil. Applied at night, it soothes breakouts, fades dark spots, and works as an anti-wrinkle treatment. For sensitive skin, use every other day.
Clove & Mint Ice Cubes are made by freezing boiled clove and mint water. Rubbing a cube on clean skin “hydrates, reduces puffiness, tightens pores, and adds a natural glow.”
The Clove Oil is created by infusing crushed cloves in coconut or jojoba oil. Massaged nightly, it boosts collagen, softens fine lines, and brightens skin.
Finally, the Night Serum blends clove toner, aloe vera gel, tea tree oil, and clove oil to rejuvenate skin overnight. Always do a patch test and avoid overuse.
