The next step in the Baking Soda Beauty Series is to discuss the different facial cleansers that can be made with baking soda.
Using baking soda to wash your face is a natural alternative to chemical filled store brought cleansers. It can be mixed with a variety of different ingredients to make various face washes. Baking soda absorbs oil & works really well to fight pimples & blackheads, making it a great item to clean your face with. For years people have been making their own face wash, & with the recipes below you can too.
