Age spots, also called liver spots or sun spots, can show up as we get older and spend too much time in the sun. There are many products and treatments you can buy to help with this skin problem, but a cheap and easy home solution is to use baking soda, which is a common kitchen item. Here is how you can use baking soda to safely and effectively lighten age spots.
Advantages of Baking Soda for Your Skin
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a gentle substance that can scrub the skin and get rid of dead skin cells. This can help make your skin tone more even by slowly reducing age spots. Also, its basic properties can help regulate the skin’s pH level, which could assist in preserving its natural health.
