What Happens When You Use These Clove DIYs on Your Skin?
1. Clove Aloe Vera Gel
Imagine a lightweight gel that soothes redness and helps slow the appearance of fine lines. That’s clove gel in a nutshell. This magical spice combines the healing properties of cloves with aloe vera’s cooling effect, making it perfect for your skin.
DIY Recipe:
Mix freshly ground clove powder with pure aloe vera gel and add a couple of drops of tea tree oil. You can squeeze in a vitamin E capsule for extra nourishment. Use daily if your skin is resilient, or every other night if it’s on the sensitive side.
Pro Tip: Patch test first! Clove powder can be strong, and sensitive skin may need the gel slightly diluted with more aloe.
2. Clove And Mint Ice Cubes
If coffee wakes you up, these ice cubes wake your skin up. When you rub a clove and mint ice cube over your face in the morning, you will feel like a mini spa treatment at home. Beyond the cooling sensation, these cubes actually help minimize open pores and brighten your dull skin.
Mint won’t sit there doing nothing! It provides a refreshing antibacterial punch, and together these help control excess oil.
DIY Recipe:
Boil a spoonful of whole cloves with a handful of mint leaves in water for about 10 minutes. Cool, strain, and pour into an ice tray to have these cubes.
3. Clove Oil As Collagen Booster
Known for its warm, spicy aroma, this oil doubles up as a potent anti-aging tool. Just using a couple of drops at night can stimulate your collagen production, which keeps your skin firm and supple.
You may ask why collagen is such a big deal. It is the protein that prevents sagging and fine lines. This means you will have fewer fine lines, brighter skin, and a more youthful overall appearance.
DIY Recipe:
To make it at home, crush whole cloves and steep them in coconut or jojoba oil. Warm gently using a double boiler for 15 minutes, then let it infuse for a day or two before straining.
Pro Tip: Massage 2–3 drops into your skin before bedtime, or mix it with your night cream for easier absorption.
4. Clove Toner Spray
This DIY might look simple, but don’t underestimate its power. It is great for you if you have oily or acne-prone skin. This toner is best suited to balance oil production without stripping away natural moisture.
The benefits come from clove’s antibacterial properties combined with soothing extras like aloe vera and rose water. Together, they shrink your enlarged pores and leave the skin feeling refreshed.
DIY Recipe:
Just boil whole cloves in water for about 7 minutes until the water changes color. Strain and let it cool before adding rose water, aloe vera, and a drop of tea tree oil. Pour into a spray bottle, refrigerate, and spritz onto clean skin twice a day.
5. Clove Tea Tree Oil Night Serum
If you like combining the best of everything, a clove night serum is your one-step ticket to glowing skin. This DIY mixes toner, gel, and oil into one powerful blend you can apply before bed.
The benefits are multi-fold: acne scars fade faster, pimples heal overnight, and skin looks more even-toned. Also, the combination of antioxidants and essential oils helps repair damage caused by pollution and UV rays.
DIY Recipe:
Mix a spoonful of clove toner with aloe vera gel, add a drop of clove oil, and two drops of tea tree oil. Blend the fresh mixture before use and apply it all over your face 2-3 times a week.
With the right clove recipe, you can tackle multiple skin concerns. Try these simple DIYs and see how cloves become your skin’s new secret weapon.
