Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove (fresh, peeled)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 capsule vitamin E (optional for added skin benefits)
Instructions
- Crush the garlic to release its natural allicin, a compound known for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
- Mix the crushed garlic with olive oil to dilute its strength and make it suitable for topical use. (Add the contents of a vitamin E capsule if using.)
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow compounds to blend.
- Apply a small amount to wrinkle-prone areas like around the eyes, mouth, or forehead using gentle circular motions.
- Leave on for 10–15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
- Moisturize your skin afterward with a gentle cream or aloe vera gel.
Tips:
- Use 2–3 times a week for best results.
- Always do a patch test on your inner arm before applying to your face.
- Avoid sensitive areas like the eyes and any open cuts.
