DIY Baking Soda Recipes For Face And Hair Care

Baking soda has many uses outside the kitchen. It has been a home remedy for quite a while, especially in the world of beauty. Some people are only now tuning in to the fact that baking soda is a great option for clearing up skin or cleaning your hair. Most commercial beauty products contain numerous chemicals that can damage your hair and skin, which is why we like making simple DIY products from natural ingredients.

Did you know that there are about 10,500 chemicals used in various beauty products? Only about 11% of those chemicals have been assessed for health and safety. There are some brands that use better ingredients, but it can be difficult to discern the good from the bad when there are hard-to-pronounce ingredients all over the product.
