While cinnamon is a spice that lends great flavour to your food, it can also be used in your make-up and skincare routine! We tell you how.

Use it like a bronzer. Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, corn starch and cocoa powder and mix them together. Check the colour; if you want a darker shade, add a little more cinnamon, or if you want a lighter shade, add some corn starch.

If you have dyed your hair in a reddish hue, you can use cinnamon to keep the colour flaming and bright!Add cinnamon to your conditioner and once you have applied it to your hair, wrap them up in a shower cap. Leave your hair for six to eight hour. Wash your hair and you will notice the difference. You can use it to make a delicious lip balm. Add a tablespoon of powdered cinnamon to hot coconut oil. Once this mixture sets, it will turn into a balm.
