Honey and Cinnamon for Acne

-

When the hair follicles on your skin’s surface get clogged up with oil and dead skin cells, your skin often responds with the lumps and bumps known as acne. Breakouts commonly affect your face, chest, and back, although you can get pimples almost anywhere on your body.
Acne doesn’t just cause marks on the skin and discomfort. It can affect your mood and self-confidence as well. If you’ve had pimples in the past, you know that they don’t necessarily go away quickly. As some spots heal, others may pop up and create a cycle of irritation that seems to last indefinitely. Some deep acne bumps can even lead to permanent scarring if left untreated.
Before heading to the dermatologist, some people turn to natural remedies to clear up their pimples. Here’s more about using honey and cinnamon to treat breakouts, whether this home remedy truly works, and what side effects you might encounter.

Benefits

  1. Honey may help treat skin conditions such as ulcers and burns.
  2. Raw honey, not commercial honey, has medicinal benefits.
  3. Both cinnamon and honey have anti-microbial properties.
Healthline
Honey is getting some attention among practitioners as a treatment for a number of skin conditions. This includes ulcers, bedsores, and burns. The idea is that honey helps penetrate the wound and ward off bacteria. On top of that, honey may help reduce inflammation and provide a moist environment conducive to healing.
The type of honey most commonly credited with these effects isn’t the kind you’ll find most readily at your grocery store. Manuka honey is your best bet for medicinal use. This is a raw variety that hasn’t been processed.
Cinnamon has been used to treat a host of respiratory, digestive, and even gynecological conditions. In a recent survey of medical literature, cinnamon has been shown to have potential anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits in animals. It may also have wound-healing properties.
As with honey, a specific type of cinnamon produces the most benefits. This type of cinnamon is called Cinnamomum zeylanicum or “true cinnamon.”

Although honey may be good for healing wounds, its effects on acne are unclear.
A group of 136 people participated in a randomized controlled trialTrusted Source to evaluate if topical kanuka honey, a close relative to manuka, can help with acne. They also used an antibacterial soap twice a day as part of the study. The results? Only four of the 53 peopleTrusted Source in the honey group saw any significant improvement in their acne. Although this calls the potential benefits into question, it’s too soon to rule honey out. More research is needed to determine whether honey can be effectively used against acne.
Cinnamon, too, may sound like a promising ingredient to add to your routine. However, the scientific evidence on humans is lacking right now. More research is needed before it’s recognized as an effective treatment for acne.

Risks

  1. You shouldn’t try this home remedy if you have a honey or cinnamon allergy.
  2. If you’re allergic to honey, you may have difficulty swallowing or breathing.
  3. If you’re allergic to cinnamon, you may also have redness or irritation.
Healthline
Although most people can apply a honey and cinnamon mask with no problem, some may be allergic to either ingredient.
If you’re allergic to celery, pollen, or other bee-related products, you may have a reaction to honey applied to the skin.
Symptoms can include:
  • difficulty swallowing
  • inflammation
  • itching
  • hives
  • shortness of breath
  • swelling of the skin
  • wheezing or other breathing problems
If you’re sensitive to cinnamon, you may have many of the same symptoms. Applying cinnamon to the skin may also cause redness 
How to use honey and cinnamon for acne
If you search online, you may find different recipes for masks and other spot treatments that combine honey and cinnamon. Some people swear these ingredients clear their skin. Popular beauty blogger and vlogger Michelle Phan offers up a simple cinnamon and honey mask on her website.
You’ll need three tablespoons of manuka honey and one tablespoon of true cinnamon to make this mask.
Simply mix together the two ingredients, microwave for 30 seconds, make sure it’s not too hot, and then paint the mixture on your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse off and pat your face dry with a clean towel.

By: Nur 'Inayah On September 28, 1980, an article appeared in the Washington Post told a very sad story about the life of Jimmy, a young boy who had become a victim of the thriving heroin trade that was devastating the low-income neighbourhoods of Washington D.C. Jimmy who was caught in a cycle of addiction, violence and despair had  become a heroine addict after being introduced by his mother’s live-in boyfriend. Janet Cooke, the author of the article wrote that Jimmy is an 8-year-old boy with a third-generation heroin addict.

Petua Membuka Semula Pejabat Anda dengan Selamat

Oleh: Nur 'Inayah Buka sekarang? Buka kemudian? Ketika perdebatan berleluasa untuk memulakan semula ekonomi, satu elemen kritikal tidak ada dalam perbincangan. Peramal kejayaan atau kegagalan kita tidak banyak berkaitan dengan perniagaan ketika membuka pintu pejabat. Menjaga pekerja dan pelanggan dengan selamat dan sihat semasa berniaga dalam pandemi yang berterusan tidak hanya bergantung pada tingkah laku seperti memakai topeng, melakukan pemeriksaan suhu, mencuci tangan, dan menjauhkan diri sejauh enam kaki. Ini akan bergantung pada membuat kita semua melakukan perkara-perkara ini, setiap masa, untuk jangka masa yang lama. Majikan sebagai fasilitator.  Perkara ini tidak boleh diserahkan kepada HR, atau diserahkan kepada perunding. Majikan mesti berdiri di hadapan pekerja dan menunjukkan keikhlasan dan komitmen mereka terhadap dasar baru. Pemesejan moral.  Melaksanakan kes moral untuk mengubah tingkah laku dengan menceritakan kisah rakan, keluarga, atau pelanggan yang terkena damp
