Cloves: warm, spicy scent with purifying and protective properties.
Flaxseeds: their natural gel leaves a light layer that gently smooths the skin.
Rose water: instant freshness, soothing effects, and subtle hydration.
Concentrated green tea: a real shield against dull skin.
Aloe vera gel: calms, hydrates, and softens.
Vitamin E: helps keep the preparation fresh longer.
Simple ingredients that, once combined, create a surprisingly powerful toner.
How to prepare your homemade lotion
No need to be a chemist: everything comes together in a saucepan in just a few minutes, following a logical order to ensure the right texture.
Infuse the cloves
Simmer them in a little water, then let them steep so they release their benefits.
Create the flaxseed gel
Within a few minutes, the flaxseeds thicken the water into a soft, plant-based gel. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.
Combine the bases
Once the infusion and gel are strained, mix them with the rose water. This forms the fluid base of your toner.
Add the active ingredients
Finish by adding aloe vera, cooled green tea, and vitamin E. Whisk gently to create a smooth texture.
