Cloves are used in beauty for anti-aging and acne treatment due to their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. They can be incorporated into skincare by making toners, serums, and masks, and also have benefits for hair by reducing dandruff and adding shine.
Hair benefits and uses
Dandruff reduction: Cloves can help combat the fungus that causes dandruff.
Increased shine: Clove water can smooth the hair cuticle, adding natural shine and lustre.
Stronger hair: It can strengthen hair follicles, making the hair more resistant to breakage and split ends.
Scalp health: The cooling effect of clove water can help soothe an irritated or itchy scalp.
How to use and precautions
Dilution: Always dilute clove essential oil with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) before applying to your skin, as it is a potent ingredient.
Patch test: Perform a patch test before applying any new clove remedy to your face to check for any adverse reactions.
Frequency: Use clove remedies sparingly, about 3-4 times per week, due to their potency.
Avoid eyes: Do not apply clove products near the eyes.
