After the treatment time has passed, gently rinse off the paste with lukewarm water. Be sure to pat the skin dry with a soft towel—rubbing the skin can cause irritation or inflammation.
5. Moisturize
After rinsing, apply a good quality moisturizer to hydrate the skin. Since baking soda can sometimes be drying, this step is crucial to ensure the skin remains soft and supple. Opt for a moisturizer that is suited to your skin type to lock in hydration and promote healing.
How Often Should You Use This Treatment?
For best results, we recommend using this baking soda treatment 2-3 times per week. Consistency is key to seeing significant improvement in the appearance of age spots. It’s important to note that natural treatments like this take time, and results may vary depending on your skin type and the severity of the age spots. Over time, with regular use, you may notice your skin becoming more bright, even-toned, and the age spots fading.
Alternative Natural Remedies to Combine with Baking Soda
While baking soda can be effective on its own, combining it with other natural ingredients can further enhance its ability to fade age spots. Here are some powerful combinations:
Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar contains natural acids that lighten hyperpigmentation. Mixing baking soda with a small amount of apple cider vinegar can increase its effectiveness in brightening the skin.
Baking Soda and Honey
Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into the skin. Combining baking soda with honey helps exfoliate while keeping the skin hydrated and nourished.
Baking Soda and Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is known for its soothing and healing properties. This combination is particularly effective for sensitive skin as it reduces inflammation while gently fading age spots.
