Clove Water Spray: “Botox in a Bottle” The article is in the first comment

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
