Cinnamon Benefits for Skin  and Hair

Anti-aging skin nutrients

• The production of collagen decreases with age, so cinnamon will help the skin promote the composition of collagen levels and reduce signs of aging.

Acne Treatment

• Note: If you have sensitive skin, test on your hand before you apply the mixture to your face.
