The benefits of baking soda and lemon are not limited to consumption. The combination offers many other advantages when used as a body product and as a household item.
1. Exfoliation
The alkalinity of baking soda softens sebum, dead skin cells, bacteria and dirt accumulated on the skin, facilitating their removal. The result is soft, hydrated skin, protected against imperfections and rashes.
Prepare a natural exfoliating mixture for your face and skin by adding a pinch of baking soda to warm water, along with a few drops of lemon juice and tea tree oil.
Gently massage into your skin in circular motions for a few minutes before rinsing with warm water. Then apply a moisturizer.
2. Bath: Benefits of Baking Soda with Lemon
Added to your bath water, lemon and baking soda can be absorbed through your skin, which will have an alkalizing effect on your body and improve detoxification and the removal of impurities close to the skin’s surface.
3. Skin Whitening Agent
A mixture of baking soda and lemon juice can have a skin-lightening effect, brightening your complexion. It can also reduce freckles, post-acne scars, and dark spots. To use, mix lemon juice with baking soda until a paste forms.
Apply to the skin, massaging gently, and rinse with water after a few minutes. For additional benefits, you can add olive oil to the mixture. You can also prepare a natural face mask by adding a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of rose water to the mixture.
Leave it on the skin for 20 to 30 minutes and rinse with cold water. Then, pat it dry and apply a moisturizer.
4. Natural deodorant: the benefits of baking soda with lemon
Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda with the juice of a lemon slice. Let the mixture cool down and apply it to your armpits after your morning shower. Baking soda neutralizes the acids produced by the body, and lemon prevents the accumulation of bacteria that cause unpleasant odors. This mixture is a perfect, natural and refreshing deodorant that can be used daily.
5. Natural toothpaste and teeth whitening gel
Prepare a paste by mixing a few teaspoons of baking soda with lemon juice. Add water if necessary. Apply this paste to your teeth after removing excess saliva.
Leave the toothpaste on your teeth for a maximum of one minute and rinse thoroughly with water. Leaving it on for longer can damage your tooth enamel.
This natural toothpaste has a visible teeth whitening effect. Adding coconut essential oil or peppermint essential oil can enhance its antimicrobial properties.
