Few kitchen spices earn the anti-ageing buzz that clove does. Its star compound, eugenol, sweeps up the free radicals that chip away at collagen, while natural antiseptic powers keep pores clear of breakout-causing microbes. Pair that warm, spicy bud with fermented rice water, green-tea catechins, cooling cucumber juice and soothing botanicals, and you get a multitasking face mist that firms, brightens and hydrates in one quick spritz.
Fans call it “Botox in a bottle” because the blend leaves skin looking instantly taut and glassy—no needles, no high price tag, just pantry staples and twenty minutes of countertop chemistry.
Ingredients Required
- 8–10 whole clove buds – antioxidant powerhouse and mild antibacterial
- 1 tablespoon green-tea leaves (or 1 tea bag) – catechins defend against UV and pollution damage
- 2 tablespoons fermented rice water (48-hour soak) – peptides and inositol improve elasticity
- 30 ml pure rose water – calms redness and adds a soft floral scent
- 15 ml freshly strained cucumber water/juice – gentle astringent, hydrator, vitamin C and silica boost
- 15 ml cold-pressed aloe-vera juice – humectant that accelerates barrier repair
- 4–5 drops vitamin E oil (puncture a capsule) – lipid antioxidant that prolongs shelf life
Optional: ½ teaspoon vegetable glycerin for extra slip in very dry climates.
