Do you know that the regular cinnamon powder used as a food seasoning can also be used as an anti-aging solution for the face?
This is because cinnamon contains powerful anti-oxidants and vitamins which help activate collagen production and aid in blood circulation. Cinnamon also has an exfoliating effect on the skin due to its mild coarse texture. You will notice this while washing off any facial mask made with cinnamon powder. But applying the powder directly on your face is not going to work. You have to apply it in form of a paste so that it can penetrate into your skin and work its magic.Here is my go-to facial mask recipe.
Recipe:
1 Egg white
1 table spoon of cinnamon powder
1 table spoon of honey
Direction:
Mix thoroughly and let it sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes. With a flat brush apply it all over your face, under your eyes, neck and chest. Leave it on as long as you can but not less than 30 minutes. Wash it off with water. While washing it off you will notice it is exfoliating the dead skin cells on your face which is one of the reasons it gives your skin that immediate plump. You may also splash cold water on the treated area to tighten the pores.
I recommend using it every other day.
I will also recommend this mask to be used on any skin damaged by the use of bleaching cream, any sun damaged skin, dried out skin and skin that needs some pampering.
