baking powder face pack - #17785

Meera

I am super curious about this baking powder face pack thing. Been looking online, and I came across some blogs where people rave about it. Few weeks ago, I tried mixing baking powder with water after seeing a tutorial, but wow, was it a disaster. I thought I’d get this glow, you know? Instead, my skin got all red and dry. I swear it felt like an instant burn. Maybe I used too much? Or did I leave it on too long? I’ve got oily skin, but honestly, my face felt tight and weird after using the baking powder face pack. Should I have mixed it with something else, like honey or yogurt? Are there any tips on how to properly use this stuff without turning my face into a tomato? I mean, some ppl on the forums said their skin got clearer and smoother with it. I’d love to know if anyone has had good experiences with baking powder face pack without crazy side effects. Is there a specific way to apply it or a better mixture that works for different skin types? Just feeling a bit lost and bewildered here, ugh!

Doctors' responses

Baking powder isn’t typically recommended for skincare. It can be quite harsh due to its alkalinity, disrupting the skin’s natural pH balance and potentially leading to dryness, irritation, or redness; issues you’ve unfortunately experienced. While some people may report positive results, these can vary greatly depending on individual skin types and sensitivities. For oily skin, over-drying can cause your skin to produce even more oil as a compensatory mechanism, leading to more issues. If you’re determined to try homemade remedies, consider gentler options like mixing honey or yogurt, which are more skin-friendly and can offer soothing effects. Honey has natural antibacterial properties and is a humectant, helping to maintain moisture. Yogurt contains lactic acid, a mild natural exfoliant which is typically better tolerated by most skin types. Before applying any mixture to your face, it’s wise to perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any adverse reactions. If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. As an alternative, there are numerous over-the-counter skincare products specifically formulated for oily skin that are safer and more effective. Look for products containing ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or niacinamide, which address oiliness and acne without the accompanying irritation. If skin issues persist, consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment is advisable.
