Honey Nutmeg Face Mask...

This whole changing of the seasons is

doing a number on my skin this year...

we are talking dry patches, redness, & breakouts.

I think my skin is becoming more sensitive as I get older, so I have

been trying a more natural approach to take care of my skin.

I wanted to share with you my journey with natural skin

remedies, starting with a face mask that I love...

There are many benefits to this yummy smelling

honey & nutmeg mask...

Nutmeg... is historically known to be an anti-inflamitory used

for skin problems such as rosacea and eczema.

Honey... don't get me started. I could go on and on about

the benefits of honey for your skin & hair. 

Honey's natural anti-oxident and anti-microbial properties

help protect the skin from damage & helps rejuvenate 

damaged skin. Honey absorbs impurities from the pores which

makes it a great cleansing pore face mask. Honey is also

an amazing moisturizer & helps keep moisture locked into 

your skin. Okay.. I'm done {for now}. I just love honey!

Cinnamon {optional}... cinnamon is an exfoliant and can stimulate 

the pores which helps the nutmeg & honey to work better on the skin.

Cinnamon has been used for thousands of years as an  

antiseptic, astringent, antifungal, & many other other things.

Making the DIY Honey Nutmeg Mask...

I used one of my small mason jars to make the mask

in, so that I could store the leftover mask that 

I didn't use for another day...

I used equal parts of both the honey & the nutmeg.

This time I left out the cinnamon because

I wanted it to be really gentle on my skin since

it has been so sensitive.

Mix 1 tbsp Honey, 1 tbsp Nutmeg, & 1 tbsp cinnamon 

in a bowl.. & there you have your simple diy mask.

Apply this to cleansed skin... leave on your face for

30 minutes... then cleanse skin using warm water.

I recommend testing this mask on your inner wrist

first before using it on your face to make 

sure you will react well to the ingredients. 

It may not look like a lot, but a little goes a long way!

This mixture will last you for a few days.

I use this mask for a few days in a row,

Then I take a break from it for a couple of days.

You should see an improvement in your skin 

after one use of this mask.

Another great benefit of this DIY mask?

It helps with acne flare ups & also 

fades scars & sun damage on your face.

This mask helps brighten your complexion

and even your skin tone out...

I already see a difference after a few times

of using this mask on my face.

Warning!! This mask smells so good, you will

want to eat it...

I hope you like this little series of skin care that

I am doing... I really want to share with you 

my journey with natural skin care. &

the best part is, you can find most of these 

ingredients in your kitchen already.
