Imagine, for just a moment, that you are standing in front of a mirror on a bright, peaceful morning, sunlight streaming gently through the window, bathing your face in a soft golden glow, and as you look closely at your reflection, you realize that the tired lines around your eyes, the dullness in your skin, and the dryness that once made you feel older than your years are slowly melting away, revealing a smoother, fresher, more radiant complexion that you thought you had lost forever… and imagine that this transformation isn’t coming from an expensive cream locked behind the glass counters of a luxury store, or from risky treatments that drain your wallet and carry hidden side effects, but instead from something so simple, so pure, so deeply rooted in nature that you could hold it in the palm of your hand and know, with absolute certainty, that it has been trusted for centuries by women and men who valued natural beauty long before the word “cosmetic” even existed.
Today, I am going to take you on a journey, not just to learn another recipe, but to uncover a timeless ritual — a potion born from the kitchens and herbal gardens of our ancestors, whispered about in old family stories, preserved in faded journals, and passed from one caring hand to another, a ritual that doesn’t just promise to nourish your skin on the surface, but works deep within, coaxing it to repair, renew, and glow from its very core… and as I guide you through this, you’ll not only learn how to make it step-by-step, but you’ll also understand why every single ingredient — every clove, every piece of star anise — plays a unique and powerful role in turning back the clock on your skin’s age.
So settle in, take a deep breath, and let your mind drift for a moment into a world where self-care is not rushed, where the scent of warm spices fills the air, where the act of creating something for your skin feels as comforting as making a cup of tea for your soul… because what I am about to share is more than just a remedy, it is a piece of living history, and when you try it, your mirror will thank you.
RECIPE ONE – Clove & Star Anise Infused Glow Oil.
We begin with two humble treasures of nature — cloves and star anise — each with its own ancient story to tell, each holding secrets that your skin has been longing to hear.
Cloves, those tiny dark brown buds shaped like little nails, are more than just a spice for warm winter tea or festive desserts. For centuries, they have been revered not only in Indian Ayurvedic medicine but also in the beauty rituals of the Middle East and the island nations of the Indian Ocean. Rich in eugenol, a natural compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, cloves help fight off the unseen enemies that cause dullness, breakouts, and irritation, while at the same time stimulating blood flow to the surface of the skin, giving you that subtle, healthy flush that no blush can truly imitate. The warmth of clove oil gently wakes up tired skin cells, like the first rays of morning sunlight coaxing a sleepy flower to open.
Then there is star anise, a spice so beautiful it looks like nature’s own jewelry — a perfect star with eight delicate arms, each cradling a tiny seed. Beyond its enchanting shape and sweet, licorice-like aroma, star anise is packed with anethole and antioxidants that help slow down the enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen in your skin. Collagen, as you may already know, is the invisible scaffold that keeps your skin firm, smooth, and lifted, and when it starts to degrade — whether from age, stress, or environmental damage — fine lines and wrinkles begin to settle in like uninvited guests. Star anise, with its natural collagen-protecting magic, becomes the quiet guardian that keeps your skin’s structure strong, while its aromatic oils relax your senses, turning skincare into a ritual of calm.
Step 1 – Preparing the Infusion
Take one teaspoon of whole cloves and two pieces of star anise. Hold them in your hand for a moment and breathe in their scent — that warm, spicy sweetness that instantly makes you feel grounded and alive. Place them gently into a small, clean saucepan or a heatproof glass bowl.
Now, pour in half a cup of extra virgin olive oil or cold-pressed coconut oil, depending on your skin’s needs — olive oil for deep nourishment and anti-aging benefits, coconut oil for lightweight hydration and natural antibacterial protection.
Place the bowl over a gentle double boiler or on the lowest heat possible. We are not boiling here; we are allowing the oil to kiss the spices with warmth, coaxing out their essence without burning away their delicate compounds. Let this mixture infuse for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, watching as the clear oil begins to take on a faint golden-brown hue, a visual promise of the transformation it will bring to your skin.
Step 2 – Straining and Storing
Once the oil has absorbed the spices’ magic, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean, dry glass bottle. Hold the bottle up to the light and admire the warm, amber glow of your freshly made elixir — this is liquid beauty, captured and preserved by your own hands.
Store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, so its potency remains intact. This bottle is now your personal skin ally, ready to be called upon whenever your complexion needs reviving.
Step 3 – How to Use
Every night, after cleansing your face, take three to four drops of this oil in your palm, rub your hands together to warm it, then press it gently into your skin — starting from your cheeks, moving upward toward your temples, and finally pressing it lightly into your forehead and neck. The warmth of your hands will help the oil sink deep into your skin, carrying with it the healing, anti-aging compounds of cloves and star anise.
With regular use, you’ll notice that your skin begins to feel softer, look smoother, and carry a glow that no makeup can quite replicate. And as you apply it, breathe deeply — let the aromatic blend calm your mind, because beauty is not only about what we see in the mirror, but also about how we feel inside.
Before I reveal this next secret, I want you to pause for just a moment…
You’re here with us on Glow 99 Years, the place where ancient beauty wisdom meets modern natural science, where we uncover remedies so pure and so powerful that you can almost feel your skin thanking you as you listen.
And if you’ve been with us for a while, you already know—every recipe we share is not just a quick fix, it’s a journey… a journey back to that radiant, youthful, glowing skin you thought was gone forever.
So, take a deep breath… imagine the gentle warmth of a morning sun touching your face, the scent of fresh herbs and spices in the air, and the soft touch of a cream that melts into your skin like silk.
Because today, in this second recipe, we are going to unlock another time-tested, skin-transforming treasure—one that has been whispered through generations, kept alive by those who refuse to let age write their story.
[Recipe Two – “Golden Glow Anti-Wrinkle Turmeric Elixir”]
There’s a reason why, for thousands of years, women from the villages of India, the serene valleys of Nepal, and the lush green landscapes of Sri Lanka have sworn by turmeric.
Not the powdered, dull version sitting on a dusty shelf for years… but the rich, golden, fresh turmeric root, its color glowing like molten sunlight, its aroma earthy yet warm, carrying with it the ancient promise of healing.
We’re not just talking about fading wrinkles here—this recipe is designed to breathe life into tired skin, to awaken the elasticity you thought was gone, to restore that subtle plumpness and healthy tone that says “youth” without a single word.
Here’s how it begins…
You take one teaspoon of pure turmeric powder—organic, free from any artificial colors or fillers, because when it comes to your skin, every single grain matters.
You place it in a clean glass bowl, and as you do, notice how the golden dust seems to shimmer under the light, almost as if it’s alive, ready to infuse your skin with its magic.
Next, we add one tablespoon of thick, raw honey.
Not the overly processed kind, but the deep amber, slightly grainy, fragrant honey that comes straight from the hive, still holding the warmth of the sun and the wildflowers it was born from.
As the honey slowly meets the turmeric, it creates a molten river of gold, a mixture so beautiful that you almost don’t want to disturb it—yet you know the real magic happens when they blend.
Then comes fresh, cold milk—about two tablespoons.
You pour it in gently, and the creamy white swirls dance with the gold, turning into a shade so soft and warm that it looks like a sunrise trapped in a bowl.
This milk isn’t just there for texture—it’s rich in lactic acid, which works to gently lift away dead skin cells, revealing the newer, smoother layer beneath, while also hydrating and soothing the skin.
Now, we stir…
And as the spoon moves in slow circles, the ingredients surrender to each other, becoming one silky, fragrant cream.
It’s at this moment you’ll notice the scent—earthy turmeric, sweet honey, creamy milk—a fragrance that feels both nourishing and grounding, almost like a warm embrace.
Application is a ritual in itself.
With clean fingers, you take a small amount of this golden cream and apply it in upward strokes across your face and neck.
You feel it—cool at first, then gently warming as it sits on your skin, as if telling you, “I’m here, I’m working, I’m restoring.”
Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes, and in that time, let yourself relax completely.
Perhaps sip on a cup of warm herbal tea, listen to the quiet, and imagine your skin cells drinking in this golden elixir, repairing, tightening, brightening.
When you rinse it off with lukewarm water, you’ll notice the immediate glow.
Not an artificial shine, but a deep, healthy radiance, like your skin has remembered something it had forgotten—a softness, a suppleness, a light from within.
And here’s the beauty of it—this isn’t just a surface-level trick.
Turmeric’s curcumin penetrates deep, calming inflammation, stimulating collagen, and fighting the free radicals that steal your youth.
Honey locks in moisture, while milk ensures gentle exfoliation—together, they create a trio that doesn’t just hide wrinkles but works to erase them over time.
Use this golden mask three times a week, and watch as your skin transforms—not overnight, not in a rush, but in a way that feels natural, like a flower opening to the morning light.
