Clove isn’t just a spice—it’s a natural powerhouse for your skin. Packed with compounds that promote blood circulation and firm sagging areas inside your face, clove works wonders when combined with hydrating, collagen-boosting ingredients like aloe vera, flaxseed gel, and vitamin E. This DIY skin gel acts as a natural alternative to Botox, helping restore skin, tighten wrinkles, and give fine skin a youthful, radiant glow. It’s the perfect facial night treatment for those who want visible results without spending a fortune.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 tbsp whole cloves (or ½ tsp clove powder)
- 4 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel (store-bought or freshly extracted)
- 2 tbsp flaxseed gel (homemade works best)
- 1 tsp vitamin E oil (or contents of 2 vitamin E capsules)
- 2 tbsp rose water
- 1 tsp raw honey
Step-by-Step Procedure
1. Make the Clove Water
Boil 1 tbsp of cloves in 60 ml of water for 5 minutes. Let it cool and strain to extract the clove-infused water.
2. Prepare the Flaxseed Gel
Boil 1 tbsp flaxseeds in 100 ml water until thickened. Strain through a muslin cloth and let it cool.
3. Mix the Gel Base
Combine aloe vera gel, flaxseed gel, and rose water in a clean bowl. Stir until smooth to create your nourishing skin gel base.
4. Add Skin-Boosting Ingredients
Mix in vitamin E oil and raw honey. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are blended for a potent natural skin treatment.
5. Infuse the Clove Extract
Add 1 tbsp of the clove water to the gel mixture and stir gently.
6. Store the Gel
Pour the gel into a clean, dark glass dropper bottle. Refrigerate for 12 hours before the first use.
Shelf life: Keep in the refrigerator and use within 10–12 days.
How to Use
Patch Test First
Apply a small amount on the inner arm and wait 24 hours to ensure it’s safe for your skin.
Nighttime Routine
After cleansing, take 2 drops of the skin botox gel on your fingertips.
Gentle Application
Massage gently inside your face using upward strokes, focusing on areas prone to wrinkles and fine lines. This helps with wrinkle tightening and improves elasticity.
Optional Moisturizer
You can layer your regular moisturizer after 2–3 minutes if desired.
Frequency
Start with 3 nights a week. If your skin tolerates it well, use it nightly for maximum benefits.
Sun Protection
Always apply sunscreen during the day, as clove can increase sun sensitivity.
