Here’s how to use it to enhance your skin naturally.
Clove toner spray: freshness and balance
Between excess sebum, small pimples and uneven complexion, our skin sometimes needs a real boost. The clove spray acts as a purifying and toning veil.
Quick recipe: Boil a tablespoon of cloves in 375ml of water for a few minutes. Strain, add a few drops of tea tree essential oil and a small amount of aloe vera gel to soothe. Pour into a spray bottle.
The right gesture: Spray morning and night on clean skin. Store in the fridge for a very fresh feel!
Result: Pores are visibly tightened, the complexion mattified and imperfections less visible.
A radiance gel with the look of an expert treatment
Want to say goodbye to dull complexion and the first signs of aging? This natural gel gently boosts radiance.
DIY beauty: Mix one teaspoon of clove powder with two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Add two drops of tea tree essential oil, and if you have it, a vitamin E capsule.
Application: A thin layer in the evening, on the affected areas. Use alternately if your skin is sensitive.
What we like: It helps to fade marks, calms redness, and gives a beautiful natural glow without a greasy effect.
