Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon water (you can adjust to get a paste-like consistency)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional for its natural bleaching properties, but use caution as it can make your skin sensitive to sunlight)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with water to form a thick paste. If you’re using lemon juice, add it in as well for its brightening effect.
- Apply the paste gently onto the age spots using your fingers or a cotton swab.
- Leave it on for 5–10 minutes, but monitor your skin. If you feel any irritation, rinse immediately.
- After the treatment time, rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
- Follow up with a moisturizer, as baking soda can be drying to the skin.
- Repeat this 2–3 times a week. Avoid daily use, as it can be harsh on your skin.
Important Tips:
- Patch test: Always patch test before applying anything new to your skin to make sure you don’t have a reaction.
- Sunscreen: Use sunscreen daily, especially if using lemon juice in this mixture, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
This mixture works by exfoliating dead skin cells and may help lighten dark spots over time. But always prioritize gentle care for your skin!
