This fragrant holiday spice is a much-needed addition to your beauty routine
With the holidays right around the corner, one spice always stands out in classic recipes. Cinnamon is incorporated in everything from egg nog to pumpkin pie, adding to the fragrant food aromas of the season. But the condiment has more treats in store than as a delicious, sweet-smelling garnish.
Cinnamon, made by cutting and drying the inner bark of the cicinnamomum tree, has been used for centuries to cure aliments and infections because of its antimicrobial properties. Studies also have shown that the spice is a powerful anti fungal and antibacterial. So it feels only natural that cinnamon would be an easy addition to any beauty or health routine.
Mixing just a few simple ingredients with cinnamon powder can create an acne face mask, a lip plumper or even a DIY remedy to help stimulate hair growth, right in the comfort of your own home.
