The solution to skin related problems can be found in our kitchen and home garden only; Often we do not have correct information about them. Beauty expert Suparna Trikha gives excellent information about skin care using natural ingredients. She explains how you can make a Botox-effect gel at home with just four ingredients – a gel that has a range of benefits including tightening skin, reducing fine lines and giving a natural glow.
Cosmetic Botox treatments are very trendy these days; In these, injections are given on the face to reduce wrinkles – which work on wrinkles from the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet) to the forehead. However, you can opt for a Botox-effect gel instead of a clinical procedure, which has the added advantage that you can make it yourself at home.
**Required Materials**
To make this Botox-effect glow gel, you will need four special things. The first is cloves (8 to 10), which you will find in your kitchen or puja room. You will also need bay leaves, pure almond oil and pure, fresh aloe vera gel.
**How to make this glow gel?**
Grind the cloves and bay leaves into a fine powder in a mixer, or pound them well using a mortar and pestle.
Take 150 ml RO or mineral water, add crushed cloves and bay leaves, and boil the mixture well until its color turns dark.
Pour a small amount of this liquid into a bowl or jar; Since you are making a gel, don’t use too much water.
Add fresh aloe vera gel to this liquid and mix well. Then, add almond oil and mix everything well.
Make sure you use about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of almond oil and adjust the amount of aloe vera gel to get the desired consistency.
Once ready – which takes just a few minutes – store the gel in an airtight jar or bottle. How to apply this gel?
A small amount of this gel is sufficient. Every night, after washing your face, take a few drops of the gel, apply them on your face and massage gently for 30 to 50 seconds.
What are its benefits?
This gel helps in making your skin naturally tight and firm. With daily use it gradually reduces fine lines and brightens your skin.
Applying this gel provides cooling effect, which helps in reducing swelling.
Almond oil contains Vitamin E, which deeply nourishes the skin and keeps it healthy.
Leaving this gel on overnight makes your skin look fresh in the morning as it rejuvenates tired skin.
