Thanks to the antibacterial effects of bioactive phytochemicals, cinnamon could help clear breakouts, according to a 2015 review of studies. To fight acne and pimples, simply mix one portion of cinnamon with three portions of honey and apply it on the spot. Wash with water after about 25 minutes.

“This mixture absorbs excess oil on the face and helps in regulating blood circulation,” says Vanitha Krishnan, a beauty expert at a salon chain. In a 2013 study, researchers found evidence that cinnamon extract "significantly promotes type I collagen biosynthesis within dermal fibroblasts." In other words, it can help with wrinkles and aging skin. Yes, please! Try this yummy cinnamon paste mask recipe to keep your skin feeling fresh.

Several studies have already proved that daily consumption of cinnamon powder (at least ½ teaspoon) can help improve your insulin sensitivity and blood sugar level. That way, it will help you gain control over your body’s weight and lower the hazards of heart disease. And this is why cinnamon powder for weight loss and diabetes is such an effective home remedy.
