Baking Soda for Skin
Baking soda has been used as a DIY acne remedy for a long time, and while it is true that baking soda can be effective at treating acne, it is not 100% safe to use for that purpose. Dermatologists say that baking soda can alter the skin’s pH to be alkaline rather than slightly acidic, which can cause irritation, dryness and strip the skin of natural oils. You may want to avoid this trend if you have sensitive skin, and instead, consult your dermatologist or beauty professional for safe and effective ways to treat acne.
