Rich in antioxidants, eugenol, and anti-inflammatory compounds, cloves help tighten pores, stimulate collagen production, treat dark spots, and prevent premature aging. When blended with other herbs like rice, turmeric, coffee, and flaxseeds, clove-based toners become a miracle skin elixir that transforms dull skin into glowing, youthful skin.
