Prepare the Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with an equal amount of water to create a smooth paste. The consistency should be thick but spreadable.
Apply to Your Face:
Gently apply the baking soda paste to your face, focusing on areas where wrinkles are more prominent, such as around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Be sure to avoid the eye area to prevent irritation.
Massage Gently:
Using your fingertips, gently massage the mixture into your skin in circular motions. This massage will help stimulate blood flow and activate the exfoliating benefits of baking soda.
Let It Sit:
Leave the mixture on your face for 3 minutes. You may feel a slight tightening sensation as the baking soda begins to work its magic, helping to firm and lift your skin.
Rinse Off:
After 3 minutes, rinse your face with warm water, followed by a splash of cold water to close your pores. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
Moisturize:
After rinsing, apply a natural moisturizer, such as coconut oil or aloe vera gel, to hydrate and soothe your skin. This step is crucial to lock in moisture and enhance the firming effects.
