You don’t need to be a chemist or spend a lot to make this tonic. Here are the basic ingredients that you can easily find in health food stores or pharmacies:
- 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) whole cloves
- 100 ml of natural rose water
- 2 tablespoons (about 30 ml) of brewed then cooled green tea
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of pure aloe vera gel
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vegetable glycerin
- 1 capsule of vitamin E (400 IU)
- Optional: 2 drops of witch hazel extract for a slightly astringent effect
Preparation is very simple : make a small decoction of cloves, let it infuse, filter, then mix with the other ingredients once the preparation has cooled completely. Pour everything into a clean spray bottle… and it’s ready to use!
How to use it for a “baby skin” effect?
Morning and evening, after cleansing, a few sprays are enough. Gently pat with your fingertips to blend in. No need to rinse: the active ingredients continue to work while you continue your routine.
Want to boost your complexion’s radiance even more? Once a week, mix a spoonful of this tonic with a little oatmeal for a quick mask that revives the skin and smooths its texture.
