Baking for Skin Treatments?

Of course!

Baking soda is one ingredient that you will always find in your kitchen cabinet but have your ever thought of including it in your beauty regime?

It might sound absurd, but the fact is that baking soda carries immense benefits for your skin. Since it is alkaline in nature, it balances the pH levels of your skin to make it glow with radiance. It also helps in exfoliating the dead skin cells to reveal new freshness.

Here is one great way to use this humble ingredient in dealing with your day-to-day beauty problems, though there are many, many more:

1. Removes acne scars
When your skin becomes clogged with dead skin, oil or bacteria, tiny pimples appear on the surface called acne. If acne is not properly dealt with, it can leave some marks and scars behind.
To remove these scars from your face, use a paste of baking soda and water. Make it thick enough so that it can be easily applied to your skin.

Baking soda will exfoliate the scarred skin and reveal a fresh layer. You can apply the paste two or three times in a day for 3-4 minutes and then wash off.
