The problem is that it might be irritating to those who have sensitive skin, so it will not be for all. Add to that cinnamon is a powerful ingredient, so it is not recommended to use daily. 

2. For Dry Skin

For dry skin, honey is combined with avocado. With one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of mashed avocado, mixed them together in a small bowl with one teaspoon of whole milk yogurt until it is smooth. And then after that, spread it over your face and let it sit for half an hour. 

3. For Sensitive Skin

You would need one teaspoon of either Bentonite clay or Moroccan red clay. Then mix it in a non-active bowl with one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Apply it on your face then after 15 minutes, rinse it with warm water then after that, with cold water.

5. For Spots

If you are having spots or even scars all over your face, there is a simple solution for that. You will just need two teaspoons of honey and half a teaspoon of lemon juice combined.
