2. Care for dry and chapped lips
This mixture also works great as a lip balm. Apply a thin layer to your dry lips to moisturize and protect them from external aggressors. Cloves also have a soothing effect on chapped skin.
3. Treatment of insect bites
The mixture of petroleum jelly and cloves can also be used to soothe insect bites. The anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of cloves reduce itching and swelling, while petroleum jelly forms a protective barrier on the skin.
4. Hydration of dry areas
This mixture works wonders for dry, cracked elbows, knees or heels. Apply it to dry areas and massage until absorbed. Vaseline provides intensive moisture while cloves stimulate skin regeneration.
5. Natural insect repellent
The strong scent of cloves acts as a natural repellent against mosquitoes and other insects. Apply a small amount of the ointment to exposed skin to repel parasites in a natural, chemical-free way.
