7. Stops Rashes and Itchy Skin

Dry, itchy skin or skin rashes are annoying and painful. Baking soda has a very soothing effect on the skin due to its anti-inflammatory compounds, so it will reduce itchy, swollen, and inflamed skin.

For small itchy patches, mix three parts baking soda with one part water. Apply this paste to the affected area, and allow it to sit for a minute or two. Rinse off with cool water. Do this once or twice a day until the itching stops.

For larger areas or all-over body itching and rashes, mix one cup of baking soda in a tub of cool water, and soak in it for 10 to 15 minutes each day.

8. Improves the Complexion

If you suffer from uneven skin tone, you are not alone. Baking soda is a great way to naturally brighten the skin and even out your skin tone. Baking soda will balance the pH of the skin and exfoliate it at the same time. Mix one or two teaspoons of baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. Apply this paste to your face and gently rub it in for one minute using only your fingertips. Don’t rub too hard! Allow to sit for one minute, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Do this two or three times each week until you get the results you want.

9. Stops Dandruff

Although sometimes it seems as though dandruff will never go away, baking soda can be the answer to your problem. Baking soda will help to clear off the flakes and restore the proper pH balance to your scalp. After washing your hair, rub a teaspoon or two of baking soda onto your scalp and wet hair. Massage in gently for one minute, and then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Do this only once per week, as the abrasive nature of baking soda can damage your hair if you use it more often.
