BENEFITS & USES OF BAKING SODA PART 1

When the word baking soda comes to mind you think of baking right but there is more to this sodium bicarbonate powder than you think. First of all did you know baking soda, contains anti-bacteria, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory properties which makes it a multipurpose substance in fact this should be your go to beauty product, and the amazing thing is that most of us have it in our kitchen cupboard doing nothing. Well let me tell you how to put that to use.

1.     Teeth Brightener

Baking soda is great for removing yellow stains from your teeth, with its anti-bacterial properties it neutralizes acids caused by bacteria. Simply add a little amount of baking soda on your tooth brush alongside your regular tooth paste, brush your teeth as normal. I advise you to do this once a day for a few days and you will see the difference in no time.

2.     Improves Uneven Skin Tone

This a major problem most of us have, uneven skin, but not to worry baking soda helps balance PH levels which is very important if you want an even and clear skin. Simply use a warm towel on the affected area to open the pores then apply your mixture, which contains 1 or 2 teaspoon of baking soda with warm water let it rest for one minute and rinse off with cold water to close pores .Do this once or twice a week and be sure to moisturize immediately after and go rock that tan top you’ve been avoiding

3.     Treat Acne and Pimples

Simply add one or two teaspoons of baking soda with warm water and apply it on the affected are, repeat this once daily for two to three days and then reduce it to once a week. Do not forget to open and close your pores by using warm water before and cold water after wards this goes for any skin care treatment. You don’t want to leave your pores open and pick up infections.

In conclusion you don’t need strong skin care products to get rid of your skin problems and then end up doing more damage by rumpling your skin and aging faster, remember the skin is delicate and you would want to treat it as such. Watch out for my next post on baking soda tips is going to be more interesting.

NOTE: Baking soda is more effective when used for a short period of time and also do a patch test to know if your skin is sensitive to it.
