Bay Leaf Is a Million Times Stronger Than Botox and Collagen

by

Ingredients

  • 5–6 dried bay leaves
  • 1 cup (250 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (optional, for extra moisture)
  • 1 teaspoon olive or coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring the cup of water to a boil in a small pot.
  2. Add the bay leaves and let them simmer on low heat for 5–7 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat, cover, and allow the infusion to steep until lukewarm.
  4. Strain the liquid into a clean bowl.
  5. (Optional) Stir in the aloe vera gel and oil to make a light lotion-like mixture.
  6. Apply the cooled infusion or mixture to clean skin with a cotton pad.
  7. Leave on for 10–15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water.
  8. Use once or twice a week and follow with your usual moisturizer.

This is a traditional beauty tip and may help refresh or tone the skin, but it won’t literally work “like Botox” — results vary and it’s best to do a patch test first to make sure your skin doesn’t react.

Would you like me to make this in a DIY face mask form (thicker paste) instead of a liquid infusion?
