Yes, baking soda can and is used for all kinds of things. Lots of people even add it to their baths to help with inflammation.
It is safe to use for just about anything and generally has no side effects. While you’ve probably heard of using it as deodorant, toothpaste, anti-inflammatory bath ingredient, and the many uses for it when cleaning it is not likely you have heard about this use. I use baking soda on my face!
You see, it is amazing when it comes to removing blackheads, acne, and reducing the look of scars. It tones the skin and works as an antiseptic opening up the pores in your face. This will help them to not get clogged up with oils as bad. Here’s how to use baking soda as a face mask.
