Who doesn't love a bargain? Who among us doesn't want to look as fabulous as possible without spending a fortune? I will share few tips which will help you save loads of time, money and of course your energy.

Today, will see how can we use baking soda in Face care. Baking soda is also called Sodium Bicarbonate or Bicarbonate of Soda. As we all know Baking soda is pure Sodium Bicarbonate, a naturally occurring white crystalline substance with a number of household uses.




Baking soda can do wonders for your face if used properly. Mainly you can use it as a rejuvenating Exfoliating Face Scrub to gently remove and slough-off all dead skin cells and promote new cell growth.

For Exfoliating: Add 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water, and use as a gentle and exfoliating facial scrub. Rinse your face clean, don't leave it on your skin for long.

Facial Scrub: Mix baking soda with oatmeal in your blender; it makes a great facial scrub. You can use this paste to remove your blackheads effectively.

Shaving: Men with sensitive skin may find that a solution of 1 tablespoon baking soda in 1 cup water makes a great pre-shave treatment or a soothing aftershave rinse.

Last word of Warning: Be careful not to get the paste in your eyes when applying to the face. If the skin becomes irritated, discontinue use of baking soda on your skin.
