Ingredients
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon plain, unsweetened yogurt
½ teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon finely ground oats — optional, for a gentler texture
A few drops of lukewarm water, only if needed to thin the mixture
🥣 How to Make It
Place the plain yogurt in a small, clean bowl.
Add the honey and mix well.
Add ½ teaspoon of baking soda and stir until everything is evenly combined.
If you want a slightly softer texture, add the finely ground oats.
Add a few drops of lukewarm water if the mixture is too thick.
The finished mixture should be smooth and easy to spread, not runny.
✨ How to Use It
Start with a clean, dry face.
Patch-test first on a small area of skin.
Apply a very thin layer, avoiding the eyes, lips, nostrils, and any cuts or irritated areas.
Leave it on for approximately 3–5 minutes only.
Do not scrub or rub the skin.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Pat your face dry with a clean, soft towel.
Apply a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer afterward.
⚠️ Important Notes
Do not leave baking soda on your face overnight.
Do not use this recipe on broken, sunburned, irritated, or very sensitive skin.
Stop immediately if you experience burning, significant redness, itching, or swelling.
Avoid using it immediately after shaving or other potentially irritating skincare treatments.
Because baking soda can disrupt the skin’s normal pH and cause irritation, less is more.
This is a DIY skincare recipe, not a medical treatment.
For everyday skincare, a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen are generally more appropriate than baking-soda treatments.
