It's no secret that most skincare ingredients you need are already present in your kitchen. In fact, we're sure you've already tried quite a few desi nuskas yourself. Well, truth be told, they do work better than products you get in the market. And one such ingredient that you need to add to your skincare and beauty regime is baking soda. However, you need to remember to be exceptionally careful about how you use this or it could harm your skin.

It is also important to remember that baking soda is not the same as baking powder. So, don't accidentally opt for baking powder. That said, here are some ways in which baking soda can work wonders as the perfect beauty ingredient for you.

Baking soda works great as a bleaching agent so if you need to get rid of spots and blemishes, baking soda should be your go-to product. It'll also help even out your skin's tone and texture.

Use baking soda as a natural lip exfoliant scrub by mixing it with some sugar and applying it to your lips. Massage well and it'll help get rid of dead skin cells while also returning the natural colour of your lips.

Baking soda can also be used to naturally get rid of body hair because it helps dry out hair follicles which can cause your hair to fall out. Don't leave it on for too long or it'll dry out your skin too.

Say goodbye to body odour with the help of baking soda. It works as an alkalising agent and kills bacteria while balancing your body's pH levels. So, it sort of works like an antiperspirant.

Ran out of facial scrub? Put baking soda to use instead. Just mix some baking soda with a few teaspoons of water to make a thick paste and apply it to your skin. It will work as a natural exfoliant and will get rid of dead skin cells as well as impurities.
