Rinse Off:
Wash off the paste with lukewarm water, then pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
Moisturize:
Follow up with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated, as baking soda can be drying.
Best Practices:
Test First: Before applying baking soda to your face or hands, do a patch test on a small area of skin to ensure you don’t react negatively.
Frequency of Use: Use this treatment no more than once or twice a week. Overuse can disrupt the natural pH of your skin and lead to irritation.
Sun Protection: Since the treatment can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further UV damage.
Precautions:
While baking soda can be effective for some, it may not be suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive skin. If you experience any redness, burning, or irritation, discontinue use immediately and consult with a dermatologist.
Using baking soda is a cost-effective and straightforward method to help diminish the appearance of age spots. With regular and cautious use, you might see significant improvements in the evenness and clarity of your skin.
