Okra Clove Collagen Toner: Better Than Botox

Procedure

1. Extract the okra gel

   • Combine the sliced okra with 1 cup filtered water in a small saucepan.

   • Simmer on low for about 8 minutes until the liquid turns slightly viscous.

   • Let cool, then strain through a fine mesh or cheesecloth. Reserve the clear, slippery liquid.

• 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.
