Baking soda can beautify your face. Don’t you believe this? Read these baking soda hacks to learn more!
Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate is one of those wonder powders with versatile uses. From your kitchen to the garden, there are many baking soda hacks to look at. But do you know that you can look BEAUTIFUL?
1. Face scrub
Baking soda is a natural scrub and it works really well. Using it will give your face the deep wash look it really needs. Try mixing one part baking soda, one part oatmeal, and one part water for a messy mixture to get rid of those hard-to-remove layers of dead skin and oil. Be careful not to get carried away as it can be quite harsh when it comes to exfoliating scrubs. But if you apply it carefully and gently, your skin will feel fresh, soft and flawless! Also the tight and tingling feeling afterwards is so satisfying.
2. Skin brightening agent
If your face is losing its natural color or you want to brighten up your skin tone, give this a try. A few drops of lemon juice, olive oil and baking soda. This mixture is perfect as a face mask and acts as a NATURAL BLEACH. Apply it on your face and leave it on for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
3. To have shiny teeth
Rinse your mouth a few times with a combination of baking soda and water to remove bad breath and get shinier teeth. You can also rub a damp toothbrush into the baking soda and scrub your teeth with it.
4. Acne Removal Paste
Use a 3:1 solution of baking soda and water, mix them up, and rub it on any unsightly blemishes or acne you’re experiencing. After about 10 minutes, wipe it off with a warm washcloth and wash your face with cool water.
5. Sunscreen pacifier
Do you have sun-tanned skin? Try mixing a very small amount of baking soda with cold water and apply it to your face like a face mask. The slight tingling sensation you may feel, but keep it for a while, about 10 minutes, then rinse your face with water.
