Dalchini helps in the reduction of the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. With growing age, the collagen in our skin starts to break down which makes us look older but dalchini can help increase the production of collagen in the skin. It also increases blood circulation in your face and stimulates your blood vessels. To use dalchini for your beauty regime, add one tablespoon of cinnamon powder to some vaseline or olive oil and apply it on your face. Avoid the eyes and leave it on for 1o minutes and wash it off later. Repeat the process regularly to see visible results.

Repeat this twice a day, once in the morning and later in the evening to see results with time.
