good and soothing effect
Hi, I tried to use this mask, but after 1 or 2 minutes I got a terrible burning sensation on the skin. What can I do?Ana
Hi Ana, cinnamon does cause burning sensation but when used along with yogurt it greatly diminishes it. Did you use it with yogurt? Even after using yogurt if it causes intense burning I would suggest not using the mask at all..
can I substitute ground cinnamon from the spice section in the supermarket & plain yogurt from the supermarket if yes than how much ground cinnamon & yogurt to use to make one application?
Tried this years with no result. Tried cinnamon water paste and it took bags away immediately but left me with redness and sores for a week. Tired again with cinnamon and yogurt with no affect. This was years ago. Just tried it again with the yogurt and couldn’t handle the burning. I have redness again. Last time it lasted a week. Here’s hoping it subsides quickly this time, although I’m not sure why it would. I am hoping to find a balance. I need enough cinnamon in the mix to remove the bags as it did before by itself but enough yogurt to prevent the redness and burning. I can’t reapply today. I must wait for the tenderness and redness to subside. I will add more yogurt and hazard another attempt after I heal.
