Baking Soda Face Mask – Quick & Deep Skin Cleansing

Baking soda turns out to be a perfect product. First of all, it’s inexpensive, and, second of all, it’s versatile because you can use it for DIY cosmetics as well as house cleaning. It is a super-effective washing agent which freshens up the complexion, and helps plump the face. Regular use makes expression lines less noticeable. Do you know you can use it for homemade deodorant? Plus it is ideal for repairing the skin on feet.

What skin type is baking soda mask good for?

Baking soda works great for oily, combination skin, acne, and all kinds of imperfections. Regularly used it brightens the complexion and banishes pigmentation spots (like sun spots).

Another great thing is this natural mask is very easy to make, budget-friendly and effective. Just remember that if your skin is dry and sensitive, you need to use baking soda masks carefully because they may cause irritations (ideally, do a patch test and see if your skin reacts). Use the mask once a week.

The easiest way takes a few seconds: pour two spoons of baking soda and a spoon of warm water into a bowl. Mix them well to create smooth white paste. Your cleansing mask is ready to go!
