Baking Soda: This ingredient generates the most debate. Baking soda has a highly alkaline pH (around 9), while the skin’s protective acid mantle has a pH of approximately 4.5 to 5.5. Applying such an alkaline substance can severely disrupt the skin barrier, weakening and dehydrating it, and making it more susceptible to infections and irritations. Its function in this recipe is that of a gentle mechanical exfoliant and foaming/cleansing agent, but its frequent use is discouraged by most dermatologists.
