Compound

Baking soda is a chemical made up of four elements: oxygen, carbon, sodium and hydrogen (NaHCO 3). Each of them has its own effect on the skin.

Indications and contraindications

Mask with soda for acne - effective and accessible remedy, which every woman can use at home. But you must understand that it cannot always be used, and in certain cases, treatment can even cause harm.

Indications

Extensive areas of blackheads (comedones) and blackheads.
Overactivity of the sebaceous glands.
Dull and pale skin.
Network of facial wrinkles.

Contraindications

Too sensitive skin.
Any damage to the epidermis in the intended treatment area (scratches, wounds, ulcers).
Dry skin type. In this case, baking soda should be mixed with any fatty foods, and the intensity of treatment should be reduced (no more than once every 2 weeks).

There is no clinical data on how compatible a soda face mask is with pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is better for you to consult an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Baking soda must be fresh (it hardly makes sense to expect any benefits from yellowed and damp powder). The same can be said about auxiliary components.
Mineral water without gas has the best cosmetic effect. As a last resort, purified boiled water will do, but its therapeutic effect is somewhat weaker.
Before the first application, perform a quick test for skin sensitivity by dropping a little of the composition on your wrist and make sure there is no allergic reaction (this will take 2-3 hours).
Avoid treating areas around the lips and eyes.
To remove the mask at home, you can use water at room temperature or a herbal decoction.
The duration of the procedure is no more than 10 minutes (unless otherwise explicitly stated in the specific recipe).

An anecdote on topic. Cosmetics - horrible power. It is she who helps women not to frighten others with their natural, pristine beauty.

Recipes

Their use will not require you to spend any significant time, but preparing a mask if you only have 10-15 minutes free is also not worth it. It also makes sense to remember that after the procedure it is highly advisable to stay at home for at least one and a half to two hours.
