One of my goals for the year is to be kinder to and take better care of my skin. I've been very, very bad to it. I'm ashamed to say I've got manchas from picking at some much hated adult acne and the manchas are worse than the acne. I'm going to stop picking and I'm going to give myself regular treatments with this DIY nutmeg, cinnamon and honey mask to prevent acne and get rid of manchas. I have to share the recipe with you because it's beyond easy AND you probably already have all the ingredients you need for it in your kitchen.

The reason this homemade facial mask is so great is because of the three superstar natural ingredients. The honey in it is a soothing to your skin and a great humectant, which is just a fancy way of saying it moisturizes. The nutmeg acts as an anti-inflammatory exfoliator that will help get rid of blemishes and the appearance of blemishes. The cinnamon helps prevent future breakouts because it's antiseptic.
DIY Nutmeg, Cinnamon & Honey Mask
Ingredients
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Mix all the ingredients together to form a paste and apply to clean skin. It's gonna be messy, so wear something you don't mind getting dirty. Let the mask sit for about 20 to 30 minutes, then gently rinse off with warm water using circular motions to help the nutmeg exfoliate.
For best results you want to use this mask regularly about twice a week. Over time you will see a decrease in acne and manchas.
