Here are some benefits of baking soda for the skin, shared by dermatologist Dr. Rinky Kapoor (India).
Eliminate acne
Baking soda has the effect of drying acne quickly. If you have mild acne and want to dry it within a day, you should use the baking soda mixture at least two to three times in 24 hours. Baking soda is eroding, so mix a thick mixture with water and apply it to the acne area. Hold for 15 minutes and then rinse your face with water. Do this process at least three times a day to dry the acne.
Reducing dark spots
Baking soda, whose main ingredient is sodium bicacbonate, can help fade dark spots because it has bleaching properties.
Goodbye to blackheads
Thanks to its seed-shaped texture, baking soda scratching can help soften the skin and remove hard blackheads. But don't rub too hard, as it will damage your skin.
Eliminate dead cells
Baking soda will help brighten the skin by removing all the dead skin cells on the face. In addition, thanks to the alkaline properties of baking soda, pores will be cleaned, making the skin more airy.
Brightens your elbows and knees
The bleaching properties of baking soda also help brighten the skin, especially in areas that are often darkened such as the elbows and knees. Therefore, you should use it once or twice a week, every time for about 15 to 20 minutes.
