Face Mask
On social media, DIY face masks can be found anywhere, whether they're trending on TikTok or being advertised on Instagram. It is not unexpected. Knowing every component of a product you use brings with it a feeling of security. Don't overlook the sense of accomplishment you have after creating the thing yourself.
DIY face masks are designed to address a wide range of skin issues, from dryness to dullness. And if there is one component that is really driving those of us seeking for natural skin care solutions mad, it is baking soda. Joanna Vargas explains how she uses this popular cosmetic product to maintain healthy, happy skin.
Benefits of Baking Soda for Skin Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a chemical compound that has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It is a known ingredient in cleansers and exfoliators to treat acne. “When mixed with water, baking soda is great for getting rid of blackheads. You can put the mixture on your nose after showering, and all the blackheads come out,” says Joanna Vargas.
Consequences of using baking soda
Notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, incorrect usage of baking soda can have negative effects. The problem is that baking soda's alkaline pH of 9 might change the pH of your skin, which is normally acidic. As a result, it may overdry, irritate, and inflame the skin, which may make acne worse.
It is crucial to heed professional advise and apply baking soda as directed in order to prevent an adverse response and reap the advantages for your skin.
Uses for it
Vargas Baking Soda Face Mask may be the inexpensive remedy you've been seeking for if you have acne-prone skin. Even though she advises against using this mask on skin types other than congested skin, dull, uneven, and skin rife with blackheads benefit greatly from it. What's best? Just two components are needed to get things going. Vargas claims that using this mask twice a month would stop blackheads in their tracks.
