In a sterilized heat-safe jar, combine dried hibiscus petals and whole cloves with ½ cup just-boiled filtered water. Cover and steep 20 minutes.Strain
Pass the infusion through a fine mesh or coffee filter to remove solids, yielding a ruby-red, spice-scented concentrate.Cool & blend
Allow the liquid to reach room temperature, then whisk in rosewater, cooled green-tea infusion, aloe-vera juice, vitamin E oil, and glycerin until evenly mixed.Bottle
Transfer to a 100 ml dark-glass spray bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to preserve freshness.
Instructions
Patch test first. Dab a drop behind your ear; wait 24 hours to check for sensitivity.
Daily use: After cleansing (morning and evening), close eyes and mist 3–4 pumps over face and neck, or saturate a cotton pad and sweep upward.
Layer wisely: Follow with your usual serum and moisturizer while skin is still damp to lock in the humectants.
Weekly booster: Soak thin cotton pads in the toner, lay them on cheeks and forehead for five minutes as a flash mask.
Shelf life & hygiene: Discard if the scent changes; always keep refrigerated and avoid touching the nozzle with fingers to prevent contamination.
