Cloves are a powerful natural ingredient, rich in antioxidants and antibacterial properties, making them highly effective for skincare. They help treat acne, control excess oil, tighten skin, and slow signs of aging. This complete DIY routine includes five easy-to-make treatments using cloves in various forms: toner spray, gel, beauty ice cubes, facial oil, and night serum.

The Clove Toner Spray is ideal for acne-prone and oily skin. It’s made by boiling cloves in water, then adding tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, and optional rose water. Sprayed twice daily after cleansing, it fights acne-causing bacteria, shrinks pores, and tightens the skin. The toner lasts for about 5–7 days when stored in the fridge.

Next, the Clove Gel blends clove powder with aloe vera, tea tree oil, and optional vitamin E to create a soothing, anti-wrinkle formula. Applied at night, it reduces inflammation, calms breakouts, and fades dark spots. It’s gentle enough for daily use but should be used every other day for sensitive skin.

Clove & Mint Ice Cubes are a refreshing way to wake up your face each morning. Made by freezing boiled clove and mint water, these cubes hydrate, reduce puffiness, tighten pores, and add a natural glow. Simply glide one over clean skin before moisturizing.

The Clove Oil serves as an anti-aging treatment. Infuse slightly crushed cloves in coconut or jojoba oil and optionally add vitamin E. After straining, massage a few drops into the skin at night. This boosts collagen, softens fine lines, and brightens dull skin over time.

Lastly, the Night Serum combines clove toner, aloe vera gel, tea tree oil, and clove oil. Applied before bed, it works overnight to brighten and smooth your skin. Always perform a patch test, especially for sensitive skin, and avoid overuse or application near the eyes.
