Now that October's in full swing, we're excited for the chilly
weather, ready for the feasts to arrive, and getting our skin care in
check. An abrupt climate change can do strange things to your
complexion, but we've been experimenting with a DIY mask that uses only
handful of autumn's most notable spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and
honey—nope, we're not talking pies, we're talking skin. The mixture of
these ingredients not only smells divine, it acts as an
anti-inflammatory for sudden breakouts. Honey is a well-loved humectant, while cinnamon helps with eczema, acne, and cell turnover (even featured in Kate Somerville's cult-loved ExfoliKate). Enjoy the recipe below, and please save some for the holiday dishes.
HONEY CINNAMON FACE MASK
Ingredients
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp nutmeg powder
Directions
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then apply the mask to clean
skin. Let it sit for approximately 20 minutes, then wash off with
lukewarm water, gently rinsing in circular motions. Moisturize as usual
and apply weekly. Because cinnamon brings blood to the surface of the
skin, sensitive skin types should take precaution when attempting this
recipe.
