Nutmeg/Honey
 Nutmeg has anti-inflammatory properties and was used since ancient times for a variety of skin diseases including ring worms and eczema. Add it with honey which has antiseptic benefits and the concoction is supposed to help erase acne marks over time. Results take time, it is not immediate, so consistency an patience is key.


Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been used for thousands of years as an  antiseptic, astringent, anti fungal and anti-viral aid, among its many other uses.  Additionally, cinnamon is an exfoliant and can stimulate the pores, thus helping other ingredients to work on the skin as well.

Please Note:

This mask is not for everyone, do not rub or scrub the mask as it is a natural exfoliant, the ingredients will hurt your skin., just let it sit on the face and then rinse.
