If you want to shake up your beauty routine—and revive your skin to a state of absolute gorgeousness—look no further than your very own pantry.
A number of spices you already have right in your home are untapped
resources for unlocking supple, clear, and glowing skin, according to
Heather Scholten of Spiceologist.
Here, she shares some of her favorite seasonings that work on your skin
just as well as your skillet—plus, some amazing home remedies you can
try tonight!
Saffron
Full of anti-bacterial qualities, saffron’s unique color, flavor and
other properties give it culinary and medicinal characteristics that
make it renowned all over the world. Rich in vitamin A, B1, B2, B3,
Vitamin C, iron, potassium, zinc, selenium, folate and many other
nutrients, saffron brightens up your complexion and even works a great
home remedy for clearing up acne. Try this saffron face mask: Add 3-4
strands of high quality saffron to ½ cup whole milk and allow them to
soften in the milk for an hour or so. Apply to face and neck, then,
after 10-15 minutes, wash off.
Clove
The oil of this fragrant spice can make a fragrant facial cleanser,
since it also has antimicrobial properties. Cloves or clove oil can also
be used to prevent hair loss and for thickening the hair as well.
Turmeric
This antiseptic and antibacterial spice is not only a delicious
anti-inflammatory addition to smoothies, but its properties can make
your skin glow when used as a face mask. Try this recipe: Mix 1
tablespoon each of ground oatmeal, turmeric and honey, then stir to
blend. Apply to face with a soft brush or fingertips (you can thin with
water if needed) and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Remove with cold
water—hot water will make you turn orange!—then wash your face with your
usual cleanser.
Cinnamon
Get plump lips naturally with this skin-warming spice. Wet a cinnamon
stick and rub on your lips. Cinnamon is a natural exfoliator and can
also boost circulation while plumping your lips (temporarily, of
course).
Fennel
Great for sensitive skin—and spaghetti sauce—this spice decreases
redness and irritation and it can help minimize sensitivity caused by
sun exposure. To feel its effects, soak ½ teaspoon of the seeds in a cup
purified water and spritz your face and neck to cool your skin.
Ginger
Circulation-boosting ginger calms puffiness and ups blood flow,
giving you a natural healthy glow. It can also help minimize cellulite
dimples, which is a nice bonus, to say the least. To make a ginger
scrub, pulverize ½ cup of white rice in a blender. Add ¼ cup brown
sugar, 2 tablespoons of minced fresh ginger and a teaspoon of coconut
milk, then blend until combined. Apply to areas of cellulite by rubbing
it in, then rinse it off.
