Honey Cinnamon Facial Mask
This is so easy to make and you’ll love the results! Most amateur bakers and well-stocked home kitchens will already have the necessary ingredients for this at home cleansing facial mask.
Facial Mask Ingredients
Honey
1 Tablespoon
Using the right kind of honey in your facial mask gets rid of excess oils, cleans out pores, smoothes the skin, and fights acne-causing bacteria at the source. It also contains helpful minerals, amino acids, and vitamins!
Baking Soda
1 teaspoon
Baking Soda kills bacteria, fades acne scars, removes dirt and excess dirt to cleanse pores!
Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Include Cinnamon in your facial mask to cleanse the skin and fight fungal irritations. It also has the added benefit of smelling delicious!
DIY Facial Mask Recipe
Yield: About 2 masks, this mixture is great to share with a friend or partner.
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Will kind of look goop-y.
2. After washing face, apply mask to face.
3. Leave on for 10-15 minutes (careful, if too much is put onto face, it may drip!)
4. Remember to lotion up after the face is washed off with water.
I’d love to hear how this mask worked for you. Feel free to tell me about your experience in the comments, or share your own at-home facial mask recipe!

April 25, 2014How many times a week do you do this?
lauryncakes
April 25, 2014I try at least once a week to get rid of redness. You should also try out the product here (http://laurynlasko.blogspot.com/2014/04/gingerchi-oil-cleansing-facial-routine.html) It has really helped with my ance and is all natural!

April 30, 2014Has anybody researched what cinnamon can do to ones face? Its horrible. Baking soda can be bad also..not everything you see can be trustworthy
lauryncakes
April 30, 2014I appreciate the concern, but it never burned my face. Perhaps it was an allergic reaction or too much cinnamon was used? I'd appreciate you not spamming my site with derogatory comments.

March 30, 2015I don't think this person meant to be derogatory. Simply, that cinnamon face masks are not for everyone. People with sensitive skin often get burns from cinnamon face masks. It has nothing to do with allergies or even too much cinnamon, it's just really only effective for people with non-sensitive, oily skin.

August 20, 2015Yeah just burnt my cheeks from this mask!! didn't feel so good ouch wow should maybe have some warnings, such as if burning sensation starts while wearing mask remove immediately 🙂

May 2, 2014Hey Lauryn, I used your mask for a feature on the 'Common Room' podcast for our F3 segment on DIY facial masks. It was great! Smells awesome. Bonus: when I washed off my face the baking soda became a sort of exfoliation. Thanks!

May 26, 2014Thank you that is awesome to be featured!

July 12, 2014Can you store this in the fridge for a week or just keep it on the counter at 80 degrees room temperature.
lauryncakes
July 18, 2014I would think it would be okay at room temperature since none of the items need to be refrigerated!

August 19, 2014This mask is truely amazing! I've struggled with acne for a long time and every since I've tried this mask i feel like I don't have to wear much makeup! It's absolutely astonishing and I think everyone should try it 🙂 unlike every other acne treatment this one doesn't hurt the pocket! Thank you so much 😊

September 4, 2014Thank you for the sweet compliment and I am glad to hear it has been working! Nothing feels better than being confident without makeup!

August 21, 2014I also have a 10 year old daughter whom suffers from acne. Majority is on her forehead and nose. Dr prescribed 80.00 cream after insurance and i've had it refilled 3x. Nothing helps. Gonna try this. Wondering if the lady with the 11year old daughter had any luck? Thanks in advance and any suggestions would be great!

I've used cinnamon & honey for colds but never heard of adding baking soda for a mask. I'm 45 and the wrinkles are really starting to show. I use ROC at night and use a few different kinds of cleansers but rarely do masks. I will give this a try~

December 6, 2014If I made batches of this as gifts for friends bc I loved it so much want to share the "wealth" do you think it would keep or spoil?
lauryncakes
February 3, 2015I think it would keep! Honey keeps forever and cinnamon doesn't go bad for a while.

January 16, 2015Can I make this ahead of time? Will it keep?
lauryncakes
February 3, 2015I absolutely think it will keep. Honey stays good forever.

February 2, 2015Can you add few drops of lemon ?
lauryncakes
February 3, 2015Absolutely! Lemon is used to clear skin and is anti-bacterial. I say go for it!

December 30, 2015Just letting you know, this face mask was terrible. Not only did it burn my skin, it turned raw and pink. It hurts and feels tight. Please do not try! I don't have sensitive skin! I was also not allergic!

July 13, 2021Hi Lauren,
My name’s Rochelle. I’ll spare you the long version. I’m 58 and still fighting cystic acne and blackheads. Since this has been going on since I was early teens. Anyway, quit professional help and would like to try your BS/Honey/Cinnamon mask. My concern is the honey. I’m thinking thick, gooey, sweet…on my face?! Maybe helps as a built in moisturizer?! Please help….

April 28, 2022Does this store for later use? Asking because depression… it isn’t often “worth it” to put in the effort to do the simplest things, but if I have it stored, I’ll be more motivated to use it because less stress and I’m actually doing something productive for myself and why not? I’m really trying to get better about self-care especially in periods of worse. Also wondering if it will help with chapped and stressed lips because I currently live in an area with high wind and dry heat. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
lauryncakes
April 29, 2022Unfortunately, I am not sure if it will store well for later use. Keep your head up; I am rooting for you!

May 31, 2023um sooo not trying to be negative but if you have sensitive skin like me i recommend testing the mask on a small part of your skin before you cover your whole face and if the small part starts to burn wash immediately and DO NOT PROCEED TO COVER YOUR WHOLE FACE if it doesn’t burn you can cover your whole face after a min
