Applied locally, a properly diluted oil can complement a simple beauty routine. It’s best used occasionally, on clean skin, to help promote clearer-looking skin and a more even complexion.
How to easily prepare a homemade oil
Preparation is straightforward:
Place one tablespoon of rosemary and one tablespoon of cloves in a clean, dry jar, then cover with about 200 ml of vegetable oil (olive, coconut, or sweet almond oil).
Seal the jar and let it infuse for two weeks away from light, gently shaking it every two or three days to keep the mixture well blended.
Then strain using a fine sieve or a clean cloth.
This oil can be stored for several months in a dark glass bottle, away from heat.
Precautions to keep in mind
As with any natural ingredient, moderation is essential. A patch test in the crook of the elbow is recommended before any application. Internal use should remain occasional and reasonable, and certain situations call for advice from a healthcare professional.
Rosemary and cloves remind us that well-being often begins with simple, accessible gestures deeply rooted in tradition.
