Okra Clove Collagen Toner: Better Than Botox – Page 2

Infuse the cloves
- Add the whole cloves to the warm okra extract.
- Steep for 10 minutes to release their fragrance and eugenol.
- Strain once more to remove all solids.
Blend the actives
- In a sterilized mixing bowl, combine the okra-clove extract with cooled green tea, rose water, aloe gel, glycerin, and vitamin E oil.
- If using grapeseed oil, whisk it in now until the mixture looks uniform.

Bottle the toner
- Transfer the blend into a 100 ml amber or blue glass spray bottle.
- Label with the name and date of preparation.

Patch-test first: Dab a drop on your inner arm and wait 12 hours to ensure no sensitivity.
Daily use: After cleansing, close your eyes and mist 3–4 pumps over face and neck, then pat lightly with fingertips.
Frequency: Morning and evening. In the daytime, follow with sunscreen for full antioxidant protection.
Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within three weeks. Discard earlier if color or smell changes.
Pro tip: Chill the bottle for five minutes before use; the cool mist tightens pores instantly for a fresher look.
