TOP THREE SECRET SPICE SKIN CARE TRICKS

You may take a second look at your spice cupboard after reading this, but did you know that spices serve more purposes than just adding a kick to your favourite dish?

They also work wonders for a range of skin care treatments as well as helping treat your hair. These homemade natural remedies can be considered the best way to treat all kinds of skin problems, whether it’s to battle acne or just make your skin feel super fresh.

Cinnamon

Other than being added to your favourite curry, Cinnamon has many uses when it comes to skin care because of its interesting qualities. It’s often found in scrubs and soaks due to it warming the skin when applied and its antibacterial virtues. It also works to balance oily skin, but be careful if you have sensitive skin, as too much can cause irritation. A quick fix is to make a paste by just using water for an instant face mask.

Nutmeg

As well as grating on your soup or adding it to a sweet curry, Nutmeg can be a wonderful treat for your skin. Nutmeg contains some key minerals that keep your skin looking strong and healthy, such as potassium and magnesium. Mixed with a little water it can relieve skin of scars and reduce acne. It can also reduce swelling and ease pain, so whip up a paste with water and apply it to those aches and pains.

Turmeric

Turmeric, the golden coloured spice, not only flavours but is in fact a natural antiseptic. You can make this spice brilliant for attacking acne again, by adding water to make a paste and applying just like a face mask. It can be found in a number of skin creams due to its anti aging effects, hydrating attributes and its skin lightening properties.

Knowing all this, spices can be combined with others to create skin soothing remedies to harness all the amazing properties these spices hold. Try using yoghurt as base for your pastes, or even water and honey.
