DIY skin care recipe that includes baking soda

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon water or fresh lemon juice (for oily skin)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey (for added moisture)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the baking soda and water (or lemon juice) until a smooth paste forms.
    (Add honey if your skin is dry or sensitive.)
  2. Cleanse your face with warm water and pat dry.
  3. Apply the paste to areas with acne, blackheads, or age spots. Avoid the eye area.
  4. Gently massage in circular motions for 1 minute.
  5. Leave on for 5–10 minutes.
  6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat skin dry.
  7. Follow with a gentle moisturizer or aloe vera gel.

🕐 Use 1–2 times per week. Do not overuse, as baking soda can dry out or irritate the skin if used too often.

⚠️ Note:

  • If you experience burning, redness, or irritation, rinse off immediately.
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure after using lemon juice, as it may increase sensitivity.
