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.
Ø Soften dry skin:
Cinnamon is the natural exfoliate that soften dry and chapped skin. It removes
dead cells from the skin and brings natural glow and radiance.
Skin complexion improvement: cinnamon improves complexion in a natural way. It has natural skin-whitening property.

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.
