How to Use Baking Soda for Spots, Wrinkles, and Dark Circles
1. Baking Soda and Water Mask for Dark Spots and Wrinkles
- How It Works: Baking soda’s exfoliating properties help slough off dead skin cells, making it easier for new, healthy skin to regenerate. It can also help lighten dark spots and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by promoting collagen production and skin turnover.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- 2-3 tablespoons of water
Preparation:
- Mix the baking soda and water to form a paste. Adjust the consistency by adding more water or baking soda if needed.
- Apply the paste to the areas of your face with dark spots or wrinkles, such as around your eyes, mouth, or forehead.
- Gently massage the paste into the skin for 1-2 minutes, using circular motions to exfoliate.
- Leave it on for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water.
How Often to Use:
- Use this treatment 2-3 times a week to see gradual improvements in dark spots and wrinkles. Avoid over-exfoliating, as this can irritate your skin.
