3 Step Clove Skin Care For Wrinkle Free Glowing Skin
Clove is a powerful traditional ingredient, but it’s also strong on skin, so the “best” clove skincare routine is the one that keeps clove well-diluted, uses it at the right time of day, and supports the skin barrier with hydration + sealing moisture.
Below is a simple 3-step clove routine designed exactly for your timing:
-
Step 1 (Morning): Clove Ice Cubes (for tighter pores + fresh glow)
-
Step 2 (Night): Clove Rosewater Skin Repair Toner
-
Step 3 (Overnight): Clove Baby Oil Wrinkle Eraser Cream (barrier-sealing night balm)
1) Morning: Clove Ice Cubes To Shrinking Large Pores

Cloves (whole) – 1 tsp

Procedure

Boil water, add cloves, and simmer for 3–4 minutes. Switch off the flame.

Add the green tea bag and steep 3 minutes (don’t over-steep).

Strain and let it cool completely.

Mix in cucumber juice, aloe vera gel, glycerin, and vitamin E (optional).

Pour into an ice tray and freeze.
Instructions (apply in the morning)

After cleansing, wrap one ice cube in a soft cotton cloth and gently glide over cheeks, nose, forehead, jawline.

Gentle daily toning feel (without harsh alcohol toners)
3) Overnight: Clove Baby Oil Wrinkle Eraser Cream
This step is designed to seal in moisture so skin looks smoother and more “filled in” by morning. If you’re acne-prone, keep it only to dry zones because heavy occlusive products can feel too rich for some skin types.
Ingredients required (6+)
-
Baby oil – 3 tbsp
-
Cloves (whole) – 1 tsp
-
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) – 1 tbsp
-
Cocoa butter or shea butter – 1 tbsp
-
Sweet almond oil – 1 tsp
-
Vitamin E capsules – 2
-
(Optional) Aloe vera gel – apply separately as a thin layer before the cream
Procedure
-
Infuse: Warm baby oil + cloves on very low heat (double boiler preferred) for 10–15 minutes. Do not overheat.
-
Cool completely and strain the oil.
-
Melt petroleum jelly + cocoa/shea butter together (low heat).
-
Switch off heat, add infused baby oil + almond oil.
-
Pierce vitamin E capsules, mix in.
-
Pour into a clean jar and let it set.
Instructions (apply overnight)
-
At bedtime: cleanse → Step 2 toner → (optional thin aloe gel layer) → apply a pea-size amount of this cream.
-
Massage gently in upward strokes on face + neck.
-
If oily/acne-prone: apply only on smile lines, under-eye bone area (not too close), and neck.
Benefits
-
Seals hydration to reduce the look of fine dryness lines
-
Makes skin feel plumper and softer by morning
-
Supports a stronger moisture barrier
-
Gives a “glass-skin” style overnight finish for dry skin
-
Helps skin feel smoother over time with consistent use
-
Great for winter dryness and rough patches
Quick safety notes (important)
-
Patch test every clove DIY first (inner arm, wait 24 hours).
-
Keep clove diluted and avoid using these on broken/irritated skin.
-
Avoid icing if you have rosacea, broken capillaries, or very sensitive skin, and never exceed 1–2 minutes.
If you want, I can also create a weekly schedule (how many days to do each step) for oily, dry, and sensitive skin.
