Baking Soda Facial Cleanser

Here is a simple and effective facial cleanser using everyday items you can find in your kitchen. What are so great about these ingredients in reference to our skin? Well, baking soda is a natural cleanser and deodorizer. I’m not saying that your face stinks, only that odor causing bacteria does settle on our skin. Lemon juice is not only a natural skin lightener but it acts as an astringent too, removing dirt and buildup. Honey is a skin softener. It will bring a healthy glow to your skin and has anti-fungal properties.

                                    

You will need:

1 t Baking Soda

2 t Lemon Juice

1 t Honey

Mix the baking soda and honey together until well combined. Lastly, add in your lemon juice. This will cause a reaction of fizzing and bubbling. Apply this mixture to wet skin. The baking soda will also act as a gentle exfoliate, breaking away those dead skin cells. This facial cleanser cannot be stored and must be prepared daily. This is because the chemical reaction that takes place between the lemon juice and baking soda dies down and will not give you the same results.

This is a cleanser that can be used whenever you want a little bit extra from your cleanser. You can use this cleanser everyday or once a week. How often you use it is up to you. But the results will remain the same. Clean, glowing, healthy skin will be your result. Happy cleansing!
