DIY: Honey and cinnamon facial mask/spot treatment

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share the latest DIY facial mask I’ve been trying out.  It’s the honey and cinnamon mask.

As you may know, honey has countless virtues.  Check this previous post: Honey face, for more information.  Cinnamon, also, contains powerful antioxidants and it has been used for thousands of years as an antiseptic, astringent and antifungal, amongst other uses.  The combination of these two powerful ingredients helps to kill the bacteria that cause pimples.

This mask also helps to fade scars!

Method:

• Wash your face with a facial cleanser and pat your face dry.  
• Mix 3 tbsp. of honey with 1 tbsp. of cinnamon and apply a thin layer to the face as a mask and leave on for about 20 minutes.   
• Or dab a small amount on blemishes and leave on overnight.
• Rinse with warm water.  
• Apply toner and moisturiser.

The cinnamon powder acts as an exfoliant.

The mixture will last you for about 4 mask applications.

Tips:

• Cinnamon can irritate the skin.  I recommend testing this mask on your inner wrist first before using it on your face. 
•  Do not apply the mask more than once a week.
