Homemade Face Mask: Anti-Acne Honey-Cinnamon Mask

Anti-Acne Honey-Cinnamon Mask

Ingredients:

3 tbsp Organic Raw Manuka Honey or Acacia Honey

1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon Powder (or any Pure Cinnamon Powder)

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine honey and cinnamon powder; mix well to make a smooth paste.

Transfer in an airtight container and store in the fridge.

Note:

You can make a batch of this paste, and it will last several months so you don't need to make  a fresh batch everyday.

To use:

Pin your hair back. (Before applying this mask make sure your face is clear of any make-up etc.)

Wash face thoroughly using a cleanser, rinse, and pat dry.

Apply a thin layer of the honey-cinnamon paste generously all over the face and under your chin; leave on for around 15~20 minutes, and then wash off. (Do not apply soap, just rinse with lukewarm water.) Pat face dry.

Apply a toner and moisturizer to freshen and cleanse your face. (Lemon juice mixed with water is a perfect natural toner.)

*Follow this regime thrice/twice a week for a month.

Cinnamon is an overlooked allergen. Some people are allergic to cinnamon and it can sometimes produce irritation in people with unusually sensitive skins. Therefore, before using this mask, do a patch test on your inner arm to be sure you are not allergic.

For most people, this mask doesn't make their skin feel itchy or cause burning sensation. If you experience either, it's best to stop using it or consult your doctor.
