Re: Homemade SkinCare Recipes & Masks
For blemishes, mix 1 tsp of honey, 1 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp of bottled lemon juice. You can use fresh lemon juice, but it probably won't keep as long. Put the mixture on the blemish for at least an hour. I put the mixture into a little tupperware, and leave it in the fridge. I usually toss it after 2 weeks.
Why it works: Honey is acts as an antibacterial product and it also aids in skin regeneration. Nutmeg is a common anti-inflammatory product; it aids in reducing the redness, irritation and swelling. Cinnamon is a stimulant that acts kind of like a natural exfoliant. The lemon helps balance the acidity.
