How To Make Cinnamon Face Mask For Uneven Skin Tone?

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp finely grounded cinnamon powder
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp nutmeg powder
  • 4-5 drops of tea tree essential oil

How to do

  • In a small bowl, add some finely grounded cinnamon powder
  • Next, add honey to it and mix both the ingredients well
  • Now, cut half a lemon and squeeze out some juice from it and add it to the mixture in the given quantity

  • The paste is now ready for application.

How to apply

  • Start off by washing your face with lukewarm water. The warm water will open up the pores on your skin and help to wash out any toxins, dirt, and dust settled on your skin.
  • Once done, wipe off your face dry with a clean tissue or a towel.
  • Start applying the pack on your face with a brush. You can use your hands to apply the pack too but it might become a bit messy, which is why a brush is recommended.
  • Apply the pack to your neck too so that the skin tone of your face and your neck match. Avoid your eyes, ears, and mouth while applying the pack
  • Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before you proceed to wash your face
  • Repeat the pack twice a week for desired results

Why this works

  • Cinnamon contains antibacterial properties that help to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. It also contains skin lightening properties and gives you glowing skin
  • Honey helps to keep your skin moisturised while lemon juice helps to tighten the pores on your skin
  • Nutmeg powder gets rid of dead skin cells on your skin and also helps to heal dry skin and keep it moisturised and exfoliated.
  • The anti-inflammatory properties of tea tree essential oil help to soothe irritated skin.
