Home remedies may come across as harmless but this one surely isn’t.
I came across many videos of baking soda being applied on elbows, knees and armpits and even on the face😨
◼️Baking powder and baking soda are strong bases. Base tends to penetrate deeper than acids on the skin. It causes deep burns as it binds with lipids and fats on the skin.
⚠️Please do not use baking powder or baking soda on your skin. It may have been beneficial for some but it can be disastrous on others.
✅Better alternatives for dark elbows and armpits
✔️G peel 12 cream
✔️Glyco 12 cream
✔️Demelan
✅Use a moisturiser with lactic acid twice a day such as
✔️Amylac
✔️Lacsoft
✅On dark elbows and knees :
Melalumin EK cream can be used son alternate nights
