This kitchen multi-tasker is quickly becoming a popular skincare product as well, thanks to its cleansing and exfoliating properties. With just three ingredients (that you already have!) you can brighten and tighten your skin with a DIY baking soda face mask.\r\n

Is baking soda good for skin?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nYes! Baking soda has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Also, its gritty texture helps remove the dead skin cells that trap excess oil and grime that cause breakouts. Overall, it's a great product for your skin\u2014as long as it is used correctly. Being a powerful exfoliator, it's best not to scrub your skin with baking soda. Apply it gently so that you can carefully exfoliate without damaging your skin.\r\n\r\nAlthough some people simply mix water and baking soda to make a mask, we love the addition of honey and lemon. Lemon is antibacterial<\/a>, honey is naturally hydrating and baking soda is anti-inflammatory. In other words, this trio of ingredients can help to cleanse, soothe, moisturize and take away redness.\r\n
