Benefits of Cinnamon

I’m sure you have met this aromatic plant in cookies, cakes, and muffins, but did you know that it’s also a potent and healing plant for your skin?

Cinnamon is well known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, and it’s been used to alleviate irritated and dry skin due to acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, it’s rich in antioxidants and can boost your skin’s complexion.

My family loves using our brown sugar and cinnamon sugar scrub during the change of seasons to keep our skin hydrated and nourished. The extra dash of cinnamon enhances the aromatherapy benefits of this scrub and helps to soothe and nourish our skin. Whip up a batch in minutes and use it immediately, or keep it for up to six months in an airtight container.

What is a Sugar Scrub?

A sugar scrub is an effective mixture that uses sugar crystals to exfoliate the skin. Sugar scrubs are inexpensive and easy to brighten your skin and keep it healthy. Though they’re simple, they feel indulgent and lovely.

Be wary of using sugar scrub on your face, as the crystals can be too hard on delicate facial skin and can sometimes lead to irritation. Instead, sugar scrub is best for exfoliating the hands, arms, legs, and feet.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make your cinnamon sugar scrub, you’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 10-15 drops of cinnamon essential oil
