A cinnamon and nutmeg face scrub is exactly what your skin is congested or just needs a little bit of extra love. A face mask is a great way to give it a boost. This simple face scrub uses all natural ingredients that can be found at any grocery store. The spices offer your face a deep cleanse and leave you feeling radiant.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Gently massage the scrub onto your face.
3. Keep the mask on for 10 minutes (it can stay on longer if needed).
4. Rinse the mask off with water while exfoliating the skin with your fingers.
5. Repeat 2-3 times a week for best results
How each ingredient helps:
- Honey: Honey is a natural moisturizing agent that helps attracts moisture to your skin to prevent dry skin.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon helps reduce the bacteria on the surface of the skin and aids in the prevention of blemishes. It also stimulates the skin by drawing blood, oxygen and other nutrients to the surface, revitalizing the skin and leaving you glowing!
- Nutmeg: Nutmeg helps reduce blemishes while exfoliating the skin and removing blackhead.
I tried this once but it was slightly different (same ingredients, but slightly different portions), and it kinda burnt my face. I only had it on for about five minutes and I’m not sure if it is supposed to kind of burn, but i hurried and washed it off but I could still feel a burning sensation. So, I’m unsure if that is normal or if maybe my skin is just super sensitive to one of the ingredients?
Wouldn’t it cause scars from the scrubbing on acne and blackheads?
mmm delicious…
I definitely need to try this, my face has been breaking out lately it’s driving me nuts!
(:
oooh and I bet it smells delicious at the same time. I’m doing this today! Sounds great, thank you =)
Oh it does! It tastes good too!
