Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for hydration)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightening)
- 2 tablespoons water or rose water
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients — In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with water (and honey/lemon juice if desired) until it forms a smooth paste.
- Clean your face — Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply the mixture — Gently massage the paste onto the affected areas (spots, wrinkles, or dark circles) using circular motions. Avoid the eyes if using lemon juice.
- Let it sit — Leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes (no longer to avoid irritation).
- Rinse thoroughly — Wash off with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
- Moisturize — Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer or aloe vera to soothe the skin.
Tips:
- Frequency: Use this remedy 1-2 times a week to avoid over-drying the skin.
- Patch Test: Always do a patch test first to check for any sensitivity.
- Hydration: If you have dry or sensitive skin, skip the lemon juice and stick to honey or rose water for a more soothing effect.
