✨Quick Tips for Best Results
Keep clove infusions light (don’t overboil or add extra cloves).
Always do a patch test for 24 hours.
Use clean bottles and store in the fridge.
If stinging happens, dilute with rose water/aloe water or stop use.
📌Important safety note: Clove can be irritating for some skin types, especially if the infusion is too strong or if you use clove essential oil (which is far more concentrated than whole cloves). Always do a patch test, keep the infusion mild, avoid the eye area, and don’t apply on broken or irritated skin. If you feel burning or persistent redness, stop using it and rinse with cool water.
