Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of water (or rose water for added benefits)
- Optional: 1-2 drops of vitamin E oil or aloe vera gel for extra hydration
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with water (or rose water) to form a smooth paste.
- If your skin is dry or sensitive, add a drop or two of vitamin E oil or aloe vera gel to the mixture for a gentler application.
- Cleanse Your Face:
- Wash your face thoroughly with a mild cleanser and pat it dry with a soft towel.
- Apply the Paste:
- Using clean fingertips, gently apply the baking soda paste to the desired areas (spots, wrinkles, or under the eyes for dark circles).
- Avoid applying the paste too close to your eyes as baking soda can be irritating.
- Massage (Optional):
- Lightly massage the paste onto your skin in circular motions for 1-2 minutes to exfoliate and enhance blood flow.
- Leave It On:
- Let the paste sit on your skin for 5-10 minutes.
- Rinse Off:
- Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring no residue is left behind.
- Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
- Moisturize:
- Follow up with a gentle moisturizer or your preferred hydrating cream to keep your skin soft and nourished.
Tips:
- Use this remedy 1-2 times a week for best results.
- Perform a patch test before applying to your face to check for any adverse reactions.
- For sensitive skin, dilute the paste further or reduce the frequency of use.
