DIY face scrub
Most of us need a little exfoliation from time-to-time.
(For those with dry or sensitive skin can stick to once, if at all.)
Baking soda makes for a particularly potent granular exfoliator if you feel your skin needs some extra help.
Your face is delicate, so do be mindful to check that you scrub is more emollient than exfoliator.
And as always be mindful not to overdo it.
“The most important tip is that ‘less is more.’
“But be sure to not scratch or damage your skin by overusing these devices or products.”
DIY body scrub
Yourbody is likely in need of a little exfoliation TLC, too.
However, a major word of caution.
Natural deodorant
Natural deodorantscan help keep odor at bay in your pits.
Each formulation works a bit differently: Some use acids to neutralize odor-causing bacteria.
Others mask scent with natural oils and fragrances.
Some use baking soda to adjust your microbiome to make the area inhospitable to the bacteria that causes B.O.
This is why baking soda is a common ingredient in your natural deodorant.
However, we must note, some find it irritating and may cause anunderarm rash.
If thats true for you, there arebaking soda-free options.
