Cinnamon Honey Clarifying Mask
I hate to admit that I’m in my 30’s and still struggle with skin issues. I struggled with mild acne in high school and in college. It’s definitely way better than it was in my college years. In fact it only really bothers me during “that time of the month”. Still though, I mean shouldn’t I have clear skin by now?! I thought that adulthood = clear skin. I suppose I thought wrong. Now I’m juggling acne products and moisturizing serums, all while trying to identify the best firming cream. If anything, skincare becomes a much trickier task as the years tick by.
I’m learning there is more to the whole statement less is more. I’m also learning that I don’t have to spend lots of money on face soaps and face masks. I really love using natural beauty remedies. In fact, I’ve been using a clarifying mask once a week that I really like. You probably have the ingredients in your pantry.
All you need is cinnamon and honey. That’s it 🙂
Just mix 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts honey. I make a fresh batch each week when I use the mask. I use 1 tbsp cinnamon and 2 tbsps honey when I make mine.
Then you pull your hair back (honey in your hair gets quite sticky) and apply. I gently apply a thin layer in a circular motion all over my face. I leave it on my face for about 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it off with warm water.
It could not be easier. I’m wearing less make up and my face is looking healthier and it actually has a natural glow to it.
Let me know if you try it out!
I am allergic to cats and my face gets so red and sore and I am always looking for relief! I saw this on Pinterest today and had to try! I tried it today about 20 minutes ago so we shall see!
I hope it helps!
Hello Donna, I got up this morning and my shin on my face was not as red and inflamed! No sores, and not hot to the touch. When you use this mask, how often do you use it? And also when I was looking at the photo of you putting it on your face, it looked as though the mixture that you used was a light color. When I mixed the honey and cinnamon it was dark! Is it the type of ingredients that you used? Talk soon!
First, yay that you’re not as red and inflamed. I use it about once a week. I just use mix 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts honey. It could be the honey or cinnamon you used to. I honestly just use the Walmart brand and I put a thin layer of it on. Hope that helps 🙂
Hello Donna, Thank you! I have to go to Walmart to do my shopping this weekend so I will pick up the Walmart brands that you have pictured and use them instead of what I have. Have a healthy day! Talk soon!
I love do it yourself recipes. Especially for skin and hair. You can spend a fortune on these products at the store.
I’ve been looking for something new for my face. This looks great, and so easy to do.
Honey is also great in the bath with some milk. It is cheaper than luxurious bubble baths. I usually mix 2 tbps. honey with a cup of milk.
I’m always amazed at how many things honey can be used for. This sounds like a great idea.
I’m so trying this.
