Honey and Cinnamon Mask
The combination of honey [1] and cinnamon can fight bacteria and reduce inflammation in the body, which are the two responsible factors that cause acne. According to a 2017 study, it was discovered that the mixture of honey and cinnamon bark extract had effective antibacterial results against acne.
The study also proves that honey can block the growth of P. acnes or kill them. Note that this research doesn’t prove that honey treats acne effectively. In a study of 136 participants with acne, it was discovered that the application of honey to the skin after using an antibacterial soap was more effective at treating acne than using only the soap.
Honey and cinnamon have independent health benefits. The use of honey on the face may help in speeding up the healing process of skin cells. Hence, individuals with blemishes or eczema outbreaks may experience the healing of wounds quickly. Cinnamon also has antioxidant properties that prevent drastic signs of aging.
