If you’re looking for a simple, natural, and effective nighttime skincare routine, look no further than your kitchen spice rack. Cloves, known for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and skin-rejuvenating properties, can transform your nightly ritual into a glow-boosting experience.
This easy 3-step night skincare routine featuring clove-based DIYs will cleanse, tone, and deeply nourish your skin while you sleep — leaving you with clear, refreshed, and radiant skin by morning.
Step 1: Clove Ice Cube (After Cleansing)
Why it works:
Clove ice cubes soothe inflammation, tighten pores, and reduce acne-causing bacteria. The cold helps increase blood circulation, while cloves deliver antibacterial benefits directly into your pores.
How to Make:
-
1 cup water
-
6–8 whole cloves
-
Ice tray
Instructions:
-
Boil the water with cloves for 5–7 minutes.
-
Let it cool and strain the liquid.
-
Pour the infused water into an ice tray and freeze.
-
Use one cube after cleansing your face at night.
How to Use:
Wrap one clove ice cube in a thin cotton cloth and gently rub it all over your cleansed face for 1–2 minutes. Let your skin absorb it naturally without wiping off the residue.
Step 2: Clove-Rice Water Toner
Why it works:
This toner tightens pores, brightens skin, balances pH, and prevents breakouts. Rice water is rich in amino acids and vitamins, while cloves purify and refresh the skin.
Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp uncooked rice
-
6–8 whole cloves
-
1 cup water
-
Spray bottle
