Baking Soda on the Face: Benefits, Risks, and How to Use It Safely

Baking soda is not proven to remove wrinkles or dark circles, and it can irritate or dry the skin if used too often. A gentler homemade mask is safer.

Simple Face Mask

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt or honey
• A few drops of water

How to Use

1. Mix into a smooth paste.
2. Apply lightly to the face, avoiding the eyes.
3. Leave for 1–2 minutes only.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water.
5. Apply moisturizer afterward.

Important

• Use only 1 time per week.
• Stop if burning or redness occurs.
• Do not use directly under the eyes.
• Daily sunscreen helps dark spots more than baking soda.
