Clove gel for the evening
Clove gel is often mixed with aloe vera gel, which is very gentle on the skin. This mixture creates a light treatment to apply at night.
Mix 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel (approximately 15 ml) with a very small pinch of clove powder (about the size of a knife tip, approximately 0.1 g) and optionally 1 drop of mild vegetable oil (jojoba, sweet almond, or argan oil). Mix well until you obtain a smooth gel.
This gel can be applied in small amounts in the evening, especially to areas of the face that need cleansing. It is advisable to prepare a small amount for each use to keep the mixture fresh.
Aloe vera gel helps to soothe the skin while clove provides its purifying effect.
Clove ice cubes for a cooling effect
This is a very simple and popular beauty tip. Prepare an infusion of cloves, let it cool, then pour the liquid into an ice cube tray.
To prepare, boil 250 ml of water with 4 to 5 cloves for 5 minutes , then let it cool completely and strain. Pour the infusion into an ice cube tray and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours .
In the morning, rub an ice cube on your face for 10 to 15 seconds , without lingering too long in one spot. This provides a cooling effect, tones the skin, and helps to wake up your complexion. It's a simple trick for a quick boost of radiance.
Many people use this method to visually firm their skin and refresh their face in the morning. It is advisable to wrap the ice cube in a thin cloth to avoid direct contact with the skin.
