Baking soda, measuring one tablespoon
a tablespoon of water (or more, depending on preference)
What to do:
Prepare the mixture:
Mix together 1 tablespoon of baking soda and the equal amount of water in a small basin to create a paste. Its consistency should be thick, yet it should be spreadable.
The most wrinkle-prone areas of the face are around the eyes, lips, and forehead, so apply the baking soda paste there carefully. Keep your distance from the eye area if you want to keep it from irritating your eyes.
Use soft, circular motions with your fingertips to apply the mixture to your skin. Massage gently. In addition to stimulating blood flow, this massage will activate the exfoliating effects of baking soda.
Just Sit There: Let the concoction sit on your face for three minutes. One possible side effect of using baking soda to firm and lift the skin is a little tightening sensation.
After three minutes, rinse your face with warm water followed by a little cold water to close your pores. Use a soft cloth to remove excess moisture from your skin.
After washing your face, use a natural moisturizer such as aloe vera gel or coconut oil to keep your skin supple and soothed. This step is crucial for enhancing the firming effects and sealing in moisture.
Exfoliation: Baking soda helps remove dead skin cells and reveal younger, more vibrant skin by acting as a natural exfoliant.
Regular use of this baking soda mask promotes collagen production, which in turn increases skin suppleness and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The rapid tightening action will make your face seem younger and smoother in only a few minutes.
