Honey and cinnamon for pimples

When I started getting pimples, my mom would mix a little honey and cinnamon together and put it on the pimples. It worked because the next day you could notice it was getting smaller and less noticeable.

Hi Donelda,

I am not surprised you've had success with this mix of ingredients; both honey and cinnamon are wonderful antiseptics. Cinnamon is used for preparation of problem skin type facial mask and honey is not only an antiseptic but also a great anti-inflammatory agent that prevents and heals the infections.

Thanks for the recipe,

Wow, I discovered this site with my best friend cause we wanted to do our own spa and were surfing the net for good recipes that dont require a lot of weird ingredients. It was so fun!!!!! We made a homemade foaming vanilla bubble bath, left mayonaise in our hair for an hour (deep conditioning, and softens), did an egg white mask for acne and then a honey banana mask to brighten our skin, and we did a sugar and olive oil scrub. we did it more for fun but EVERYTHING ACTUALLY WORKED... our hair and skin were soft, clear, and glowy! NOw im so addicted to this site, theres like a gazillion recipes! me and my sister did this one last night its great!

shelf life
by: trixiegirl

if this recipe is kept in an air tight container do you know how long it is good for? i would like to try it but i am one of the lucky ones that have not had as many as i have gotten older. but when i do get them they are big. just wanted to check to see the shelf life on this.
thanks sooo much :)

Hi trixiegirl,

No need to make a large batch. Just mix up some honey and cinnamon, enough for one application. It is probably more beneficial if used fresh then stored.

Hello, this looks like something that will work for me, but i use foundation mostly everyday to cover-up blemishes. Would this still work if i apply it and then put on make-up?

Can I store the mixture?
by: Ishani

Can I make it in large amounts and store it in a air tight container? Will there be an expiry date for this mixture?

measurement
by: Dee

how much honey to cinnamon would it be equal parts thanks

I would gradually add cinnamon to honey so it thickens it up a bit but it is still of a paste-like consistency.

honeeee
by: AMY

how many times a week should we use this? i did it last night and my skin feels nice.

thank you

Use it 3-4 times a week. There is no need to apply it every night; by leaving some time in between application, the skin will "rest" and do some of the healing by itself.

Liquid?
by: Anonymous

Should I use liquid honey or regular honey?

Hi,

Try buying organic honey that comes in jar or even regular honey. Liquid ones might not hold the consistency of the recipe as well as the ones in jars, they seem a bit thicker.

Lemon Juice
by: AlmostAcneFree!

I also tried just lemon juice on your whole face to help soothe the face or something like that, and I've noticed that my pimples have gotten smaller, but i will try honey & cinnamon ! From what I hear, I think it's great ;)

Different remedies work on different skin types. I tried this tip on my pimple and the next day it grew bigger and pus on the top.
