• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Wash face with warm water and pat dry.

2. Mix two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon in bowl until they’re completely blended together. 

3. With a cotton swab or your index finger, spread a layer of the mixture over any affected areas.

4. Let your skin soak up the mask for 10-15 minutes.

5. Rinse off the mask completely and pat dry (this may take a while since it’s super sticky).
