Cloves Benefits, Health and Beauty Tips


Clove Power: Natural Beauty and Health Tips That Actually Worked for Me

Before anything else, I want to remind you: I’m not a doctor or skincare expert. Everything I’m sharing here is based on my own experience using cloves for health and beauty. If you’re curious about trying natural remedies, make sure to do your research and always patch test before using anything on your skin.


✅ Why I Turned to Cloves


It all started when I was desperately searching for something natural to help with my skin, specifically the hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage and harsh products that only made things worse. I wanted something simple, affordable, and effective. That’s when I came across several videos and articles talking about the benefits of cloves.


As I dug deeper, I learned that cloves offer a wide range of health and beauty benefits, as long as you use them properly. This single herb can support both your external and internal health. It’s rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and even antiparasitic properties.


Cloves may help:

  • Soothe muscle and joint pain

  • Eliminate bad breath and promote healthy gums

  • Detoxify the body and cleanse the liver

  • Improve digestion and kill parasites and healthy guts

  • Boost energy 

  • Support skin clarity and reduce inflammation


I already knew from past experience that cloves helped relieve tooth pain—they temporarily numbed the discomfort. So I thought, why not explore what else they can do? And that’s how my clove journey really began.


🍵 Clove Tea: My Nightly Ritual for Health


One of the first things I tried was clove tea. It’s now part of my nighttime routine. sometimes I mix it with my regular coffee in the morning to boost my energy.


Here’s what it’s said to help with:

  • Better sleep

  • Improved digestion

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Regulated blood sugar


How I make it:

I simply add 5 to 8 pieces of cloves to a cup of hot water, let it steep for a few minutes, and drink it warm before bed. It’s calming, natural, and has worked wonders for me.


⚠️ Important: Don’t overuse cloves. They’re powerful! Stick to a small amount per day to avoid side effects.


💧 DIY Clove Toner: A Budget-Friendly Skin Booster


This is one of my favorite DIY discoveries. I mix 10 to 15 whole cloves into my regular toner bottle around 225 ml and let it sit for 24 hours. The liquid turns brown as the cloves infuse their benefits.


How I use it:

  • At night: After cleansing, I apply the clove toner before my usual skincare routine.

  • Morning: I use it again before applying moisturizer and always wear sunscreen.


I noticed:

  • Fewer breakouts

  • Brighter skin

  • Mild micropeeling in the first few days


💡 Patch test first on your hand before using on your face. If there’s no reaction, then it’s likely safe to continue.


🌿 Clove Mist: My Refreshing Summer Secret


I used to carry rice water spray during hot days, but it spoils fast and starts to smell. So I replaced it with a quick and easy clove mist, and it’s been a game-changer!


How I make it:

  1. In a cup, add 3–5 cloves and pour warm water over them.

  2. Let it steep until the water turns a golden brown.

  3. Once cool, pour it into a clean spray bottle.


This mist stays fresh for 2 to 3 days and helps refresh and tone the skin during the day, without any bad smell or hassle.

🌿 Quick Tips Before Using Cloves

  • ✅ Always do a patch test first.

  • 💧 Use 3–8 cloves daily for tea or skincare.

  • 🧴 Let your mixtures steep for 10–24 hours before use.

  • 🌡️ Store clove mist in a clean container and keep it cool.

  • 🧴 Always clean your face before applying toner or mist.

  • ☀️ Don’t forget sunscreen when using any new skin product.


💬 What to Expect


If you use cloves regularly and responsibly, you might start seeing slow but noticeable improvements, like I did. It’s not magic, and it won’t work overnight, but it’s a simple and budget-friendly way to support your skin and health naturally.


I hope my experience helps if you’re looking for a herbal remedy to try at home. If you’ve used cloves before, feel free to share your results, I’d love to hear your story too!


❓ Mini FAQ: Your Clove Questions Answered


Q: Can I use ground cloves instead of whole ones?

A: Whole cloves are better for teas, toners, and sprays. They’re easier to work with and less messy.


Q: Is clove toner safe for daily use?

A: For me, yes, but I recommend starting 2–3 times a week to see how your skin reacts.


Q: How long until I see results?

A: I noticed subtle changes after 2–3 weeks of regular use.

People often say that true friends are the ones you meet during childhood. But now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve walked away from many friendships I once thought would last forever. Maybe some would say I have an attitude problem, but for me, I simply let go when I feel unappreciated, when the friendship I’m trying to build doesn’t feel mutual. As I grow older and more independent, I’ve learned that having many friends isn’t as important as having a few real ones. One or two genuine peop...

Welcome Back, My Dear Readers! Today’s blog post is extra special, it’s deeply personal, nostalgic, and close to my heart. I’m sharing the story of our family business back home in Pangasinan, Philippines. If you’ve been following my journey, you already know I’m a proud Filipina, born and raised in a small seaside village. My childhood was filled with simple joys and the kind of life where every family member played a role in helping make ends meet. We didn’t have much, but we had each other, and the ocean. One of the most unforgettable parts of my childhood was helping with our small beachside business: renting nipa huts (locally called kubo) to day-trippers and vacationers. These weren’t fancy resorts, just humble bamboo cottages with that...
