Baking Soda is your skin's best friend!

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a natural substance that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. This alkaline substance has antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also a powerful medical tool effective at combating everything from colds to oral problems to skin issues.

Baking soda is alkaline in nature and thus balances the pH levels of your skin to make it glow with radiance. It exfoliates the dead skin  to expose fresh new skin from beneath. This helps in lightening your skin as all the dull dead skin is scrubbed away naturally by baking soda.

And if you don’t deal with them properly, they leave after giving you what is called acne scars. So, if you have some of these scars on your face, what all you need is some baking soda and water. Baking soda will exfoliate the scarred skin and help reveal fresh new skin without scars.

Baking soda can help contain the growth of fungus on your skin. The plain reason for this is the alkaline nature of baking soda. It makes your skin alkaline, a state where fungi cannot thrive or spread. Once the skin again becomes acidic, fungus can grow there.
