How To Unclog Your Pores With Baking Soda
By HANNAH DARLING FENN
Blackheads typically form from oil build-up and dirt, which can also lead to pimples if you don’t regularly unclog your pores. Luckily, baking soda solves this trick because it contains anti-inflammatory properties that are an excellent exfoliant, and it neutralizes your skin’s pH.
All you need is baking soda and water; mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda with 1 teaspoon of warm water until it has a paste-like texture. Apply it to your face, especially targeting areas where blackheads tend to be toughest, like the nose and chin.
You have the option of leaving the paste on your face for about 10 minutes like a mask or rinsing it off right away, just as you would a facial scrub; alternatively, it could also be applied as a spot treatment. This deep pore cleanse will leave your skin instantly feeling clean and fresh.
