Cinnamon: Amazing uses in beauty and health!
Post By: Aditi Singha, Asst. Editor, Elegant Eves

Hello ladies, today I am up with another natural remedy that is playing the role of a saviour of our health and skin from time unknown. Cinnamon is one of the most commonly used spices in our country and it has a very significant impact on our health. It has been used extensively in Ayurveda too. It can be used as a powder or as an essential oil.  The spice which grows abundantly in South-East Asia helps in the treatment of diabetes, arthritis, cholesterol etc… Too much of information now ;) let’s have a quick view how it can help in our day to day skin care.

Cinnamon in skin care:
Ø  Plumps skin:  Cinnamon stimulates the blood vessels and thus effectively increases blood flow to the outer surface of skin. Thus a cinnamon lip scrub is very useful to make your lips look fuller and red.

Ø  Reduces signs of aging: The increased flow of blood circulation reduces fine lines of our face and makes our skin look much younger.
Here is a simple way to remove the fine lines:
Mix 3drops of cinnamon essential oil with 2tbsp of olive oil and apply on the fine lines. Regular use of this can result in the reduction of the fine lines.

Ø  Acne fighter:  Cinnamon fades acne scars. Regular using cinnamon face pack brings oxygen to skin and opens pores. Skin gets rejuvenated.

  Cinnamon in medication:
v  Cure cuts: Cinnamon itself acts as an anti-septic. It can heal normal cuts. Apply cinnamon dust to the cuts and it kills the germs and prevents further infection.
v  Treatment for eczema: Eczema results in skin redness; It is an over-reactive response by body’s immunity against an allergen.  Regular use of cinnamon face pack can be a good remedy. J (mentioned earlier)
v  Massage oil: cinnamon essential oil can cure arthritis.
So this is all about cinnamon and its uses. Regular use can be of great help and benefits you to the fullest. So enjoy and stay tuned.
Warnings:
 Before applying any of the face pack or body scrub, please go for a skin test to make sure it does not react with your skin.
 Do not apply it if body has any cuts or wounds.
