If you’re looking for an easy DIY face mask to help with pimples, here’s a simple and natural one you can try at home. This mask combines ingredients that have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties—perfect for calming breakouts and promoting clearer skin.
Honey and Cinnamon Face Mask
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon honey (preferably raw or organic)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Mix the honey and cinnamon together until you form a paste.
- Cleanse your face with warm water and a gentle cleanser.
- Apply the paste to the affected areas (focus on the pimples or acne spots).
- Leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse off with warm water, and pat your face dry with a soft towel.
- Follow up with a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Tips:
- Do this mask 2-3 times a week for best results.
Change in skin tone is to be seen after three weeks of applying it to your face.
What’s to be done after its application.
1. Pat Your Face Dry
- Gently pat your face with a soft, clean towel to remove any excess water. Avoid rubbing your skin, as it can irritate or inflame your acne.
2. Moisturize
- Even if you have oily skin, moisturizing is crucial to keep your skin hydrated. Choose a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer (won’t clog pores) if you’re prone to breakouts.
- If you have acne-prone skin, you can opt for a moisturizer with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide, which help to prevent further breakouts.
3. Apply Sunscreen (During the Day)
- If you’re doing the mask during the day, don’t forget to apply sunscreen. Cinnamon and honey can sometimes make your skin more sensitive to the sun, and you want to protect it from UV damage.
4.Avoid Picking at Pimples
- After any treatment, it’s essential to avoid touching or picking at your pimples. This can introduce more bacteria and lead to scarring.
7. Hydrate
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. This helps your skin heal faster and reduces the appearance of pimples.
