Steps: DIY Face Mask for Acne
Spoon Measurement Terms
In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:
- One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
- Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
- Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.
This face mask is very easy to make. It is prepared in a few steps.
1- Put 1/2 rounded teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl.
2- Pour one tablespoon of natural honey over the cinnamon.
3- Using the teaspoon, mix thoroughly the two ingredients.
4- The DIY Face Mask for Acne is now ready. It’s best to prepare the blend fresh each time you plan to use it.
How to Use
Here’s a step-by-step guide for using the DIY Face Mask for Acne: Cinnamon Honey Blend.
a. Prepare Fresh: Mix the cinnamon and honey together just before application to ensure maximum potency.
b. Apply Liberally: Use your fingers or a brush to apply the mask generously on areas affected by acne, including the face and any other problematic areas on the body.
c. Allow Absorption Time: Let the mask sit undisturbed on your skin for 10-20 minutes. This duration allows the skin to absorb the antibacterial and soothing properties of the ingredients effectively.
d. Rinse Thoroughly: After the designated time, gently wash your face and any other areas with lukewarm water. Ensure all remnants of the mask are removed to prevent irritation.
e. Weekly Usage: Incorporate this treatment into your skincare routine once a week for best results. Consistency is key in managing acne and promoting healthier skin.
f. Consult a Dermatologist: While this DIY remedy can help with mild acne, it’s essential to seek professional advice for severe or persistent skin issues. A dermatologist can provide personalized recommendations and medical treatments tailored to your specific needs.
