If you add tumeric and cinnamon to Jacqlyns recipe, the tumeric will be a natural toner and the cinnamon gives a warming effect that'll help stimulate the skin

Lemon and cinnamon should never be used on skin. Lemon juice's primary component is citric acid, a photosensitive chemical that causes horrific burns and serves no benefit. As a bleaching agent it is unpredictable and ultimately too powerful for human skin or hair. Cinnamon is a powerful irritant that can also cause burns and other irritation, particularly in the mucous membranes (your eyes, nose, and throat) as well as the respiratory system. It is the main ingredient in "plumping" lip products, as it causes swelling (an inflammatory response).

Be aware allergic reactions are common in many people due to the pollen and royal jelly that is found within organic or unprocessed honey. The same is true for chamomile tea (touted as a "soothing" treatment), which can lead to anaphylaxis in those with pollen allergies (especially ragweed).

Always patch test ingredients before putting them all over your face, and keep some antihistamine/antiallergenic medication handy just in case.

I use to mix honey, oliv oil and turmeric (sometimes I add 1 drop of ylang-ylang essential oil). My skin is so smooth, clean and flawless.
