🌿 DIY Aloe Vera and Clove Toner: Natural Remedy for Aging Signs

✨ 

Benefits:

• Aloe Vera: Deeply hydrates, calms irritation, improves skin elasticity.
• Cloves: High in antioxidants, stimulates blood flow, tightens skin.
• Rose water (optional): Tones and balances pH.
• Vitamin E (optional): Fights free radicals and boosts skin repair.

🧴 Ingredients:

🍵 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Make Clove Water

1. Add 1 tsp whole cloves to 1 cup water in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let steep while it cools (15–20 minutes).
4. Strain the liquid using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Discard the cloves.
5. Set the clove water aside to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare Aloe Vera Gel

• If using fresh aloe:
  
  • Cut a fresh aloe leaf.
  • Slice open and scoop out the gel using a spoon.
  • Blend it for 15–20 seconds until smooth and strain if needed to remove chunks.

Step 3: Mix the Toner

In a clean glass bowl or bottle:

1. Add 4 tbsp aloe vera gel.
2. Pour in ½ cup of clove water (use the rest later or double the recipe).
3. Add 2 tbsp rose water (optional).
4. Pierce 1 vitamin E capsule and squeeze in the oil.
5. Add 2–3 drops of essential oil (optional).
6. Mix or shake well until everything is combined.

🧊 Storage:

• Pour the toner into a clean glass spray bottle or airtight container.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 7–10 days.
• Shake before each use, as natural separation may occur.

💆 How to Use:

• After cleansing your face, spray or apply the toner to a cotton pad.
• Gently wipe or pat onto your face and neck.
• Follow with your favorite serum or moisturizer.
• Use morning and night for best results.

⚠️ Tips & Precautions:

• Patch test before first use (especially if using essential oils).
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Use sunscreen daily – clove can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
