⚠️ Why Baking Soda Isn’t Ideal for Skin
Too alkaline: Baking soda disrupts your skin’s natural pH balance
Can cause irritation: Especially for sensitive or dry skin
May worsen dark spots: Irritation can trigger more pigmentation over time
So while it’s often promoted for wrinkles and spots, dermatologists generally advise against regular use on the face.
