What miraculous ingredients you can’t see today as part of home procedures: goji berries, kelp, ostrich eggs, etc. But today we suggest staying on a more stocky version: cleansing homemade face masks from soda. There are many effective recipes for acne and wrinkles (with honey, shaving foam, etc.) that every woman can use without serious consequences for the family budget.
The benefits of face masks with soda
Baking soda does not require additional costs, since every housewife has it. It is actively used for baking or for solving household problems. It is her cleansing properties that are used to create mask recipes at home.
Indications for the use of such funds are:
- Acne (acne)
- Comedones (black dots);
- Acne
- Clogged pores.
We draw your attention to the fact that excess soda is not recommended in any cleaning procedure, and it should not be kept for more than 10 minutes, violation of these rules can cause a burn. And when applying the composition, you should not rub it hard, since soda has a high absorbent effect and can damage the surface of the skin. To mitigate the effects of the mask, the use of creams is recommended.
In case of burns or allergies, seek medical attention.
To avoid the sad experience of using masks with soda, the presence of burns that have to be treated for a long time, and allergic reactions, we recommend that the proportions and the exposure time of each composition are correctly observed (recall, no more than 10 minutes). Also, checking for allergic reactions is not superfluous: apply a small amount of the composition on the wrist and hold for 10 minutes and only after the test use the mixture.
A detailed study of the causes of side effects can reveal violations in the technology of preparation of masks, as well as the mode of their use.

Soda face mask: reviews
Reviews of women who have tried the proposed recipes for soda masks at home are noted from the pros: effectiveness in combating acne and black spots, effective removal of dead skin particles, removal of inflammation, etc.
Vladlena, 24 years old:
The recipe for a mask with soda was advised to me by a friend. The composition also contained lemon juice, which guarded me, as my skin was sensitive and I was afraid of the appearance of redness. Therefore, I decided to mix the ingredients with sour cream. Fortunately, it helped! After the mask, the skin became clean, smooth, while moisturized. I will try other options with soda, I really liked the effect.
Irina, 20 years old:
I never trusted home skin care products, as it turned out - in vain! I tried a mask with soda and oatmeal. The effect was not long in coming: the redness from the face disappeared, the pores cleared, as after peeling. I really liked the result, now I regularly use the mask along with the usual means.
Angelina, 27 years old:
All my life I was tormented with problem skin: a lot of blackheads, black spots, clogged sebaceous glands.I tried a lot of purchased cosmetics, but nothing helped. I decided to use a homemade mixture with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Now I do not have comedones, and acne appears less and less. This mask works wonders!
Victoria, 32 years old:
I always used folk remedies to improve the skin, but nothing helped get rid of the hated oily sheen and many small black dots, even special cleaning by a cosmetologist. I deduced that a mask of soda and sea salt can cope with this. After the first application, the oily sheen has disappeared, and the number of dots has decreased! To celebrate, the next day I did it again, but this time redness appeared on my face and the skin began to peel off ... I thought that the reaction to the mask, but the beautician explained that the fact is that you can’t use such mixtures so often, you don’t have to more often 1-2 times a week. Now I always carefully read the recommendations, proportions and directions. And the skin soon recovered!
