Easy Homemade Baking Soda Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of baking soda
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (for hydration)
1 tablespoon of raw honey (soothing and antibacterial)
Optional: 3–4 drops of lavender essential oil (for calming scent and extra skin benefits)
Instructions:
In a clean bowl, mix all ingredients until you get a smooth, spreadable paste.
Cleanse your face first, then apply the cream gently, avoiding the delicate eye area.
Leave it on for 15–20 minutes.
Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry.
How Often?
Use this mask 1–2 times per week maximum. Overuse can dry out the skin.
Important Safety Precautions
To enjoy this recipe safely:
Always do a patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before applying to your face.
Avoid daily use — baking soda is alkaline and can disrupt your skin barrier if overused.
Follow up with a good moisturizer.
Apply sunscreen daily, as exfoliation can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
If you have sensitive, dry, or reactive skin, consult a dermatologist before trying.
