Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
- Combine baking soda and lemon juice in a small bowl. The mixture will fizz—this is normal!
- After the fizzing stops, gently apply the mixture to your age spots using a cotton swab or your fingers.
- Leave it on for no longer than 5 minutes, as lemon juice can increase photosensitivity.
- Thoroughly rinse off with lukewarm water, and moisturize afterward.
- If you plan to go outside after using this treatment, be sure to apply sunscreen to protect your skin.
- Use this treatment once a week, monitoring how your skin reacts.
Important Precautions
- Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying these treatments to larger or more noticeable areas.
- Baking soda can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so always apply sunscreen when heading outdoors to prevent further damage.
- Avoid overusing baking soda, as it may strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Use it sparingly and wisely.
Remember, while baking soda is a simple and cost-effective option for treating age spots, results can vary. If you have persistent skin concerns or want more significant results, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist. Take care of your skin and embrace your natural beauty!
