In a world in which a new “miraculous” serum of 80 euros comes out every day and any other influencer swears on cosmetics imported from Mars, sometimes a little old school is useful, or rather, a little of the grandmother’s spices box and a jar of vaseline with a smaller drawer. That’s what it is for: a mix of clove and vaseline nails.
This homemade beauty makeup is what we call natural, non -artificial intelligence. The combination of these two ingredients is not only convenient (finally your portfolio will facilitate), but also has truly evident effects: it soothes, softens, smooth and protects. All this with a perfume reminiscent of the holidays, but without unnecessary sequins.
What is really going on and why should you put spices on the face?
Carnation nails: small and fragrant fighters against aging and acne
These aromatic sprouts (which most people know only for mulled wine) contain Eugenol, a natural substance that acts as an antiseptic, anti -inflammatory and antioxidant. Carnation nails can help reduce redness, soothe irritated skin and even slightly stimulate blood circulation. And no, it does not burn like chilli pepper, but the feeling of heat it transmits is pleasantly homemade.
Vaselina: the king of protection that never disappoints
Vaseline It is one of those classics that we all have at home, but we often forget how useful it is. It acts as a protective shield for the skin, trapping the hydration and keeping it where we need more. It is like a good blanket for your skin: warm, soft and reliable. It’s not sexy, but it works.
What does this unusual combination actually do?
Mega hydration for the skin that implores help
If your skin is cracking like dry asphalt in winter or if the sun transforms you into a sensitive crab, this mixture can save you. Garofano nails favor healing, while the Vaseline holds the hydration of the skin. The perfect solution for dry elbows, chapped lips or feet that almost implore a pedicure.
Soothing for irritated skin – without aggressive creams
Carnation nails have a natural analgesic power, that is, they can actually soothe unpleasant sensations such as burning skin or small irritations. Together with the vaseline, they create a delicate coating that protects the skin and allows it to regenerate, without the need for expensive “regeneration” lines that promise too much and do too much.
A little against wrinkles, a little for the soul
With the age the experience comes, but also the wrinkles. If you want more smooth, elastic and less tired skin, this mixture will not disappoint you. Carnation nails rich in antioxidants help to fight free radicals (i.e. stress, pollution and everything your skin hates), while the vaseline keeps her skin firm and hydrated. Is it botox? No. But it is a good alternative that does not require needles.
How to prepare the mixture?
You need:
- 1 teaspoon of finely ground carnation nails
- 2 tablespoons of vaseline

Instructions:
- If you have whole cloves, grinding as finely as possible until you get a dust, to avoid finding yourself with the parquet scrub on the face.
- Mix with vaseline. Use a small glass or ceramic bowl.
How to use this magic of homemade beauty?
For daily care:
Apply a thin layer on the dry or damaged areas (lips, nostrils after a cold, dry skin around the eyes, etc.). You can use it in the morning or in the evening, as you prefer. Remember: the less it is better.
For an anti-aging effect:
Before going to bed, massage a small amount on the areas with wrinkles: around the eyes, the mouth, on the forehead. Regular use can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and give the skin that “breathing” brightness (in a positive sense).
Smart conservation and advice
- Store the mixture in a clean and closed container, far from direct light and heat (for example: not close to a radiator or car).
- Before the first use, make skin test – Especially if you have sensitive skin. Carnation nails are a powerful thing.
- Avoid contact with eyes. Even if they have a delicious perfume, your eyes do not like spices.
Conclusion: when beauty comes from the spice shop
A mix of cloves and Vaseline is certainly not a new miraculous cream with an attractive name, but it is a tested makeup that works. Natural, simple and interesting enough to ask you: “What are you using?” “You smell tea!” Try it and you could rediscover that sometimes less really means more.
