Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons water (or rose water for added benefits)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for moisturizing)
- A few drops of lemon juice (optional, for brightening)
Instructions
- Prepare the Paste:
In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with water (or rose water) until you get a smooth paste. If desired, add honey and lemon juice and mix well. - Clean Your Face:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry with a towel. - Apply the Paste:
Using clean fingers, apply the baking soda paste gently over the areas with spots, wrinkles, or dark circles. Be careful to avoid your eyes. - Massage Gently:
Massage the paste in a circular motion for about 1-2 minutes. This helps exfoliate dead skin and promotes blood circulation. - Leave it On:
Let the paste sit on your skin for 5-10 minutes. Avoid leaving it too long to prevent dryness or irritation. - Rinse Off:
Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. - Moisturize:
Apply a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Tips:
- Use this treatment 2-3 times a week for best results.
- Always do a patch test before applying to your face to check for sensitivity.
- Avoid using on broken or irritated skin.
- Use sunscreen daily as lemon juice can increase sun sensitivity.
