FloAdvisor #28: Cinnamon Benefits for the Skin

We all associate cinnamon with its potent spice and aroma, but from now on you will associate it with beautiful and healthy looking skin.

Cinnamon has been used for centuries in traditional medicine in Chinese and Indian cultures for its role in maintaining healthy skin and helping heal skin related diseases and infections.

Cinnamon promotes acne healing

Cinnamon is rich in anti-fungal, antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties that make it useful against acne and skin blemishes. It also helps remove acne by supporting blood flow to the skin, and by drying out the skin.

It can help your skin by applying a paste of honey mixed with cinnamon powder, and leaving it overnight or for 20 minutes (depending on your skin’s sensibility).

Cinnamon moisturizes the skin

Cinnamon improves blood flow to the surface of the skin, which results in a moist skin. You can apply a few drops of cinnamon essential oil to your lips to make them smoother.

Cinnamon reduces signs of aging

Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, an organic compound that increases collagen levels. Weather it is applied on skin or consumed through diet, it will make collagen levels increase again and help reduce wrinkles.

Cinnamon benefits dry skin

To fight against dry skin, a cinnamon scrub helps remove dead skin cells and reinstate the softness of your skin.This also helps to restore the shine and suppleness of the skin.

Cinnamon helps treat Eczema

Cinnamon can provide relief to the inflammation and irritation caused by Eczema, and also reduce the coloured patches left in affected areas.
