Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells: Baking soda is a gentle exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. By sloughing off these layers, baking soda allows fresher, newer skin to emerge, helping to fade dark spots and even out your skin tone.
-
Brightens the Skin: Baking soda helps to lighten dark spots and blemishes by breaking down the excess melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) and promoting a brighter, more even complexion.
-
Improves Skin Texture: Regular use of baking soda can help to smooth the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and promote a healthier overall appearance by stimulating skin cell turnover.
