 Here are a few final Tips on Using Baking soda on your face

• Avoid applying the paste you have made with Baking Soda on open wounds or open pimples. This will prevent irritation.
• Leaving the paste on your skin for too long could lead to irritation, three minutes should be sufficient for this therapy.
• The process should be immediately stopped if you observe any skin irritation, quickly rinse the paste off your face.
• You might need to repeat the process more than once to start getting the desired effects I have described earlier.
• Consult a dermatologist if you have had an allergic reaction after applying the paste on your face.

It is essential that the pores on your facial skin are open before you apply the paste made with Baking soda. You can achieve this by splashing warm water on your face as mentioned above or steaming your face for a few minutes by keeping it in place over a bowl of hot water.

To retain the steam and to ensure you face is directly hit by the steam; place a towel over your head.
