SPICY SKIN


GIVE YOUR SKIN SOME ZIPPITY-DO-DAH

If you allow it, as you age, your skin may lose some of the youthful, dewy look it had in the beginning. Want to help stop that? Sure you do! Here are a couple of tricks using 2 common spices found in your kitchen.





That's right - plain ole' cinnamon and nutmeg. This is a very inexpensive, skin-rejuvenating wash. Place 6 teaspoons of each spice and run it through your coffe pot's filter.
Pour this mixture directly into a warm bath, step into your bath, and soak for awhile.

You may also allow the original mixture to cool for a bit and then use as a face or body wash that you will leave on long enough to penetrate your skin - for about 10 minutes a day.

Cinnamon has incredible properties, such as helping to plump your skin, filling in fine lines and small wrinkles. A couple other benefits while using cinnamon is that it has been found by simply smelling it, your cognitive function and memory may be enhanced.

Nutmeg, on the other hand, will soften fine lines and let your skin glow. While smelling it, you may find your muscles relaxing, as well. When used in a homeopathy manner, it helps to treat anxiety and depression.

So in other words, you can get more than wrinkle-free skin out of this whole thing.
