DIY BAKING SODA SKIN SCRUB FOR ACNE

Baking soda scrub is a mixture of coconut oil, tea tree oil, lemon oil and of course, baking soda. Let’s take a look at the benefits of these ingredients. Baking soda has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which kill the microbes causing acne or pimples, razor bumps and reduces the inflammation of acne. It draws out the excess oil from the skin by unclogging skin pores and maintains the optimum skin’s pH which prevents the sudden breakout and gives a healthy glow to the skin. It is a good exfoliator as it has tiny granules which deep cleanse the hair follicle and removes the dirt and dead skin cells. It is a perfect remedy for removing dark spots, blackheads and acne scars due to its deep pore cleansing properties and give a way to regenerate new skin cells. Coconut Oil The lauric acid in the coconut oil that acts as the antibacterial agent which treats acne, razor bumps boils etc. It exfoliates the dead skin cells when mixed with baking soda and becomes an excellent scrub. Blocked pores are the main reason for ingrown hairs or razor bumps, it calms and soothes razor burns. Due to saturated fats, it melts on the skin when it is being applied and it easily seeps into the skin pores, moisturizing deeply. It preserves the smoothness of the skin by keeping it wrinkle-free. Ingredients 2 tablespoon baking soda 1-2 tablespoon coconut oil 3 drops of tea tree oil 3 drops of lemon oil How To Make Take a bowl and combine all the ingredients and mix well. Store it in an airtight glass container for future use. You can keep this scrub for a couple of months but do not let water to go inside the container as it can ruin the mixture. https://amzn.to/3tPtWH9
