🌿 Okra Clove Collagen Toner (DIY Recipe)
🧾 Ingredients:
4–5 fresh okra pods
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 cup water
(Optional) 1 teaspoon rose water
(Optional) ½ teaspoon glycerin (for extra hydration)
🥣 Instructions:
Prepare the okra
Wash and slice the okra into small pieces.
Boil
Add okra + cloves + water to a small pot.
Simmer for about 10–15 minutes until the water becomes slightly thick and gel-like.
Strain
Let it cool, then strain out the solids.
You’ll be left with a slightly slippery liquid (that’s the “collagen-like” gel).
Enhance (optional)
Add rose water and glycerin for better smell and hydration.
Store
Pour into a clean spray bottle.
Keep in the fridge for up to 5–7 days.
đź’§ How to Use:
Apply to clean skin using cotton or spray bottle
Use morning and night
Let it absorb, then apply moisturizer
✨ Benefits:
Okra: rich in vitamins + natural mucilage → helps hydrate and smooth skin
Cloves: antibacterial + antioxidant → may help with acne and glow
Cooling gel texture: gives a temporary tightening effect
⚠️ Important:
This is NOT actually Botox and won’t replace medical treatments
Always do a patch test (cloves can be strong for sensitive skin)
Avoid if your skin is irritated or very sensitive
