How nutmeg helps

The antimicrobial properties of nutmeg make it the perfect choice for treating acne and pimples, and eliminating the dirt and impurities of the skin. The anti-inflammatory properties  aid the healing process and help clear blemishes and marks. The antioxidant nature of this makes the skin look younger and reduces wrinkles, thus eliminating signs of ageing. It prevents free radical formation resulting in clearer skin and a lighter skin tone. It also has a synergistic and inhibitory effect on acne and few types of the epidermis infections. 

Home-made nutmeg masks

Nutmeg paste:

 Mix some cold milk and this powder to form a thick paste. Apply this on your face and leave it for at least an hour. Wash with lukewarm water and apply a moisturizer after that. If you have dry skin, use full fat milk or add half a teaspoon of cream to toned milk. For oily skin, toned milk works best. You can even replace milk with honey. The antibacterial and moisturizing properties of honey will work effectively in curing acne, resulting in a blemish-free skin.

Cinnamon and nutmeg:

 Mix equal portions of nutmeg powder, cinnamon powder and honey to form a paste. Apply this every morning and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water to reduce acne and clear the skin of any blemishes or scars.
