A member asked:
Is it safe to use baking soda everyday as a facial wash or facial cleanser?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Baking soda is too abrasive and may dry out and irritate facial skin. Use a gentle foaming non-soap cleanser for daily use. If you have acne or oily skin, a benzoyl peroxide cleanser may help. Scrubbing usually leaves the skin more vulnerable to irritation and redness.
