Beauty Bar:Baking Soda and Orange Juice Face Mask

I came across this great DYI facial on Beauty Bets courtesy of Melissa Colgan, the Style Editor at Mpls.St. Paul magazine. Melissa says that this combo gets rid of blackheads and is great for treating hormonal breakouts. This treatment only calls for two ingredients and cost roughly 50 cents to make. Take 20 minutes and treat yourself to clearer skin!

Use 1-2 times/week depending on skin’s sensitivity.

1. Mix 1 tsp. real orange juice with 1 T. baking soda.

2. Spread a thin layer on face and neck.

3. Leave on for 20 minutes.

4. Dampen finger tips and scrub mask in circular motions for extra exfoliation. Rinse.

5. Follow with a gentle toner and moisturizer.

FYI:

The mask will tingle and itch a little but try your best not to talk. Any facial movement will cause the mask to flake off. Also, your skin may be pink afterwards but should go back to normal shortly after the mask is removed.
