Cinnamon: The spicy miracle cure for body, skin and hair
The pre-Christmas season is here and the scent of cinnamon is everywhere - in cookies, mulled wine or candles. But did you know that this popular spice not only delights your taste buds, but also offers a whole range of benefits for your body, skin and hair? Let's discover together why cinnamon is much more than just the icing on the cake of your latte macchiato!
For the body: Cinnamon as a real all-rounder
Cinnamon is not only a delight for the senses, but also a real booster for your health:
- Improves metabolism: Cinnamon can regulate blood sugar levels and boost metabolism. Perfect for calming that guilty conscience after eating a few gingerbread cookies!
- Warming effect: In the cold season, cinnamon provides pleasant warmth from the inside. Ideal for braving the winter cold.
- Rich in antioxidants : These protect your cells from free radicals and support the immune system, so a little cinnamon in your tea can work wonders.
For the skin: Cinnamon as a natural glow enhancer
Cinnamon can also help your skin to glow – in a completely natural way:
- Promotes blood circulation: In face masks or peelings, cinnamon improves blood circulation, which creates a rosy complexion.
- Antibacterial properties: Cinnamon helps fight bacteria on the skin and can therefore help with blemishes.
- Gentle peeling: Combined with honey or sugar, cinnamon is ideal for a DIY peeling that removes dead skin cells and smoothes the skin.
Tip: Always test on a small area of skin first, as cinnamon can be irritating to sensitive skin.
For the hair: Spicy care for shiny mane
Your hair can also benefit from the power of cinnamon. Whether in masks or conditioners – the spice brings bounce and shine to your hair:
- Promotes hair growth: Cinnamon stimulates blood circulation in the scalp, which strengthens the hair roots and can stimulate growth.
- Adds shine: In combination with coconut oil or olive oil, cinnamon ensures smooth, shiny hair.
- Prevents dandruff: Thanks to its antibacterial properties, cinnamon can help promote a healthy scalp.
DIY idea: A hair mask made of cinnamon, honey and olive oil works wonders. Simply apply, leave in and rinse out - your winter hair care is ready!
