Make a honey and cinnamon mask

Honey and cinnamon are commonly used to treat acne because they can help in killing the bacteria that create inflamed pores. Many skincare products also include honey.

According to a 2017 study, honey and cinnamon bark extract together have antibacterial properties on P. acnes. According to research published in 2020, honey can either prevent P. acnes from growing or actually destroy it. However, this finding does not indicate that using honey to treat acne is always successful. According to a 2016 research involving 136 acne patients, applying honey to the skin after using antibacterial soap was no more effective at treating acne than using the soap on its own. While honey and cinnamon's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties may lessen acne, additional research is required.
