DIY Baking Soda Exfoliating Paste for Age Spots

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of baking soda (the hero ingredient)
• 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice (for natural brightening)
• 1 teaspoon of honey (for hydration)
• A few drops of water (to adjust consistency)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the baking soda, lemon juice, honey, and a few drops of water. Stir well to form a smooth paste.
2. Test a Small Area: Before applying it to any large area, test a small patch of your skin to ensure there’s no irritation.
3. Apply to Age Spots: Gently apply the paste to the areas where age spots appear. You can use your fingers or a cotton swab for targeted application.
4. Massage Gently: Using a circular motion, gently massage the paste onto the skin for about 1–2 minutes. Avoid harsh rubbing to prevent skin irritation.
5. Leave it On: Allow the paste to sit on the skin for 5–10 minutes. This gives the baking soda time to exfoliate and the lemon juice to brighten.
6. Rinse Off: Rinse your skin with lukewarm water, making sure to remove all the paste. Pat dry with a soft towel.
7. Moisturize: Apply a moisturizer or a hydrating serum to soothe the skin afterward.

Tips:

• Use this remedy once or twice a week for the best results.
• Always wear sunscreen, especially after using lemon juice on your skin, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Note: This DIY remedy can help with gentle exfoliation, but results may vary. For persistent age spots, it’s always good to consult a dermatologist.
