Ingredients needed:
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon emu oil
Mix the baking soda and emu oil in a small bowl until you get a smooth, creamy paste. Apply a small amount directly to age spots or areas of hyperpigmentation, avoiding the delicate skin around the eyes. Let the mixture absorb for 20 minutes, then gently remove it with a damp cloth and warm water.
Since this treatment is so powerful, it’s recommended to start with just 1 to 2 applications per week and gradually increase if necessary. With regular use, you should start to see your age spots fade and become less visible over time. Amazing, right?
Recipe Number 2: Baking Soda, Lemon Juice, and Olive Oil Mask
Next, we have a brightening mask that harnesses the exfoliating power of baking soda, the brightening effects of lemon juice, and the nourishing benefits of olive oil. Here’s what you’ll need:
2 tablespoons of baking soda
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients until you get a smooth paste. If it’s too thick, add a little more lemon juice until you get a spreadable consistency. Apply the mixture to your clean, dry skin, focusing on areas with age spots or uneven pigmentation. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
An important note: Due to the presence of lemon juice, it is best to avoid direct sunlight for a few hours after using this mask, as citric acid can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Therefore, it is recommended to reserve this treatment for evenings or days when you will be staying indoors.
Recipe Number 3: Baking Soda, Orange Juice, and Jojoba Oil Scrub
Finally, our last recipe is an invigorating scrub that smells as good as it feels. Here’s what you’ll need:
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
1 tablespoon orange juice
Mix the baking soda, jojoba oil, and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth. The texture should be slightly grainy, which is perfect—those tiny baking soda particles will gently buff away dead skin cells, while the jojoba oil will moisturize and the orange juice will provide a boost of vitamin C to brighten skin.
To use, apply the scrub to damp skin in gentle circular motions, paying particular attention to rough areas or areas with hyperpigmentation. Take your time and savor the invigorating citrus scent—it’s like a mini aromatherapy session! After 1 to 2 minutes, rinse well with warm water and pat your skin dry.
I love using this scrub in the morning to wake up my skin and start the day feeling refreshed and energized. Try it and see for yourself the difference it can make!
Conclusion and Additional Tips
It’s essential to maintain a regular skincare routine and give these recipes time to work. Fading age spots is a gradual process, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Be consistent and your patience will be rewarded!
