Nothing could be simpler: after thoroughly cleansing your face, apply a thin layer of clove gel to the targeted areas – the eye contour, forehead, and the creases around the mouth. A light circular massage with your fingertips allows for better absorption. Ideally, apply in the evening so that your skin can fully benefit from it overnight.
For optimal results, consistency is key: morning and evening if your skin tolerates it well, alternately if not. And as always with essential oils, it’s best to do a skin test before starting.
An easy homemade recipe to try
Want to try it DIY? Here’s a simple recipe to make at home:
1/2 teaspoon (about 2 to 3 drops) of clove essential oil (always diluted in a mild carrier oil like coconut or jojoba)
1 tablespoon (about 15 g) of aloe vera gel
1 teaspoon (about 7 g) of honey
A few drops of vitamin E (optional)
Mix, apply to the face, avoiding the eye area, leave on for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Your skin will be soft, moisturized, and visibly refreshed.
