Benefits of cinnamon for lips
Cinnamon contains cassa oil – a soothing agent that does not harm the skin. When applied to the lips, cinnamon improves blood circulation, keeping the lips plump. The cassa oil in cinnamon also eliminates unpleasant odors and freshens breath. Cinnamon is the right ingredient to be used to exfoliate lips.
Benefits of brown sugar for lips
The brown sugar crystals are effective in removing dead skin cells. Brown sugar also helps prevent moisture loss, so lips don’t feel too dry after use. Brown sugar unclogs clogged pores, helping nutrients penetrate deep into the lips. In addition, brown sugar also removes the black pigment on the lips so that the lips are soft and ruddy.
