Eugenol counters collagen-breaking free radicals and softens dynamic lines. Flaxseed polysaccharides form a flexible film that instantly smooths skin texture, while rose-hip oil’s natural trans-retinoic acid promotes overnight cell turnover for a brighter complexion. Antibacterial activity keeps breakouts (and post-acne marks) at bay.
Step 3 – Overnight Recovery: Clove Skin-Repair Toner
Ingredients
½ cup cooled clove water (as above)
2 Tbsp witch hazel distillate (gentle astringent)
2 Tbsp fermented rice water (natural kojic-acid source for spots)
1 Tbsp glycerin (humectant)
1 Tbsp pure rose water (calming aroma)
Procedure
Blend all liquids; pour into a dark 100 ml spray or flip-cap bottle.
Refrigerate; shake before each use.
Instructions
Post-gel (or bare skin if skipping gel), mist or swipe toner generously with cotton.
Let skin air-dry; do not rinse.
Overnight contact allows actives to penetrate fully.
Benefits
Witch hazel’s tannins snug up enlarged pores and reduce excess oil, while clove’s antioxidant-rich infusion speeds dark-spot fading by neutralising reactive oxygen species that trigger hyper-pigmentation. Rice water supplies kojic-acid analogues for gentle brightening, and glycerin maintains moisture for enhanced barrier recovery.
